KINGFISH on Light Softbait Gear | Kayak Fishing NZ

Kia Ora! This adventure was all about trying new spots and using different methods of fishing instead of the same old softbaiting in the shallows. A couple of beautiful tāmure come on board, as well as an unexpected haku on a softbait.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

awesome video man. those snappers always give out a solid punch no matter what gear you use. epic how you landed a legal kingfish on the lighter setup. hope to land one kingfish b4 the year ends haha been a while since ive caught those greenback torpedos

[@gpfishingadventures7834]

Thanks bro. Yeah the snaps put up a great fight! You gotta get back on the slide baiting game! You'll land a kingy in no time 🤙🏽

[@craigwilliams6337]

[@FishingFinatic5438]

Love your videos mate

[@gpfishingadventures7834]

Thank you!!

[@gunnarbromm2843]

Awesome watching you land the king. You were using a Shimano Sedona 4000 but couldn't tell what stick you were using and what braid/nylon. Can you advise pls. Cheers

[@gpfishingadventures7834]

Cheers mate!! The rod is an Abu Garcia Muscle Tip II (think it's an 8 -14kg rated rod). 30lb braid and 30lb mono leader. Hope this helps! Cheers

[@gpfishingadventures7834]

Maybe it was 20lb braid actually after re-watching the video!

[@twintype]

Mint!

[@peelvroom8003]

What pound line did you use

[@DivingInTheBlue]

Awesome video bro i was just wondering how much braid you spool your Sedona with i was thinking like 150m but not sure if its enough and would you recommend the reel looking into buying one cheers Tim

[@gpfishingadventures7834]

I spool my 4000s with 150. More than enough 👍🏽 cheers

[@begood1234]

Is a fishfinder a must when fishing? Or are there fishing spots where there is always fish?

[@gpfishingadventures7834]

It depends on the type of fishing you're doing. For snapper fishing I don't really use it, but for finding bait schools and kingfish it's pretty essential. There are also some spots which reliably hold fish.

kawau island? Nice work mate

[@gpfishingadventures7834]

Cheers mate! Nah not kawau

[@skippymac4613]

Nice bro it's a insane battle on softbait hey. My first legal king was on softbait screaming runs. Elevated jig head in that depth?

[@gpfishingadventures7834]

Sure was Skip! Definitely got the heart racing. Nah just had a 1/2 ounce on trailing behind the kayak 😂 all my best fish on softbaits have been caught while in the rod holder haha

[@skippymac4613]

@@gpfishingadventures7834 😂 very often the rod holder out fishes me also

[@gpfishingadventures7834]
