  • Springtime in New Zealand is one of my favourite times to go fishing, particularly softbait fishing for Snapper in really shallow water. With a beautiful weather forecast and some new Daiwa Bait Junkies to test I'm heading to the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula to explore some stunning coastline and chase a few big fish .
    This was such a cool solo overnight adventure in one of my favorite parts of New Zealand.

      Haha, I know!! It's certainly takes a bit of getting used to but I'm guessing the videos would be pretty boring with no dialogue!

    Well done putting that together solo, mate. Beautiful coastline and excellent underwater footage. Can you please explain how you retrieve with the minnow, particularly if it's any different than what you do with the jerk shad shape? Obviously with a paddle tail, it's designed to waggle on the retrieve and usually a heavier jighead is the go to activate the tail (as you'd done, with 1/2oz versus 3/8oz with the jerk shad).

    • @BuilttoFish
      @BuilttoFish  3 роки тому +1

      Hey mate, the retreive is very much the same for the minnow as it is for the jerk shad. The Bait Junkies are nice and buoyant so I let them sink off the cast and then I have a pretty subtle action on the retrieve. The main reason I use a slightly bigger jig head for the minnow is to counteract that extra buoyancy in the bigger baits. Depth, speed of drift, bait size can all affect the size of the jig I choose to run but as a general rule I'll go as light as I can.

    When you catch those fish you should have a wet towel on the side of the boat coz the sun heats up the edge and burns them Chur vid
