+RoKKiT KiT & +Fishing With Timmy Turtle Great to meet you guys and fish with you. Will try to get my videos edited soon. Maybe one day all 3 of us can fish together.
been following for awhile now, just wanna say big shout out for helping fellow anglers. Taking time to help a buddy was awesome and goes a long way in my book. keep up the great work and awesome videos.....cheers mate all the way from Sunny florida
Thanks mate, was just a good excuse to have fun out on the water and catch some fish so was happy to give it a go. Timmy turned out to be a top bloke too so happy days!
Wow, top of the Woz verses budget pipe job, awesome video guys. Gotta love that pipe dream. It just shows you the lengths people will go to who have limited resources. Well done for coming up with something that floats Timmy. Hats off to both of you.
man your content is tops I am hooked! just bought my first yak cant wait to get out in sydney and have a fish ! suprised you dont have hundreds of thousands of subs man great channel champ!
Thanks mate, good luck on kayak, some big Sydney kings would be nice. Yea hopefully the youtube algorithm gives me some love at some point to grow the channel a bit faster, until then just got to keep grinding away. Cheers Rod
Fan of both your channels, sik collab. Wish we got those sort of fish in sydney (mac tunas the only ones that come this far south from my personal experience at least).
Thanks mate, yea the mackerel stop around the South west rock area... I have heard of a spotted mackerel being caught down that far before but pretty rare... but hey Snapper, Kings and Squid arn't so bad :)
I just watched this video on Timmy's channel and now I'm watching it here and it's hilarious to hear Timmy laughing in the back ground " woo hoo hoo!" lol You guys are great - love the kayak - yours is super cool
I knew you guys did colab vids all this time but didn’t know it started from this actually vid. First time watching it. It’s very strikingly obvious you are an awesome bloke Rod. Have been a follower of your vids for almost 3yrs now. What stands out in this vid is your generosity, you helped Timmy to get his pipe dream out there by actually swimming behind the raft, you actually carried all the weight out there for him so that he could have success, so that his dream could come true. I am very much similar to you. I have made a lot of friends by helping them out just like you. I’ve loaned out kayaks, set all up, carried it all out, dragged it off the roof etc. I feel how you feel, sometimes you know you are at a better position than someone else and just happy to go out of your way to help them, to bring to them a smile. One thing I would like to share with you though. Don’t get yourself be used. Many of those I did help never lasted long on my friend list but the ones that lasted forged a really strong friendship with me. Friends are plentiful Rod, but good friends are very rare and precious. Keep those vids coming mate. Love it!!
This is one crazy video. I loved it! Saw him ride those waves in on his channel. That raft handles the waves better than most kayaks, lol. thanks, and keep 'em coming!
Love your videos mate! Everytime when i watched your videos make me feel better about this life. Fish on mate! Hope we can go fishing together someday and have a nice picnic together with your family and mine! Cheers! From kota kinabalu, Sabah!
Thats awesome mate! No better feeling than helping someone else get their first species and tick one off the list. Hopefully i will see you at the coffs comp if you are coming.
Haha thank you for providing the world with the spectacle that was timmy's launch! That's one of those days where I really wish I was on the water too- top stuff mate
Yea the 5500 is a bit of overkill for spotties for sure but you never know what else will be zipping around. The outer reel I was catching on was the 3500 so a little more sporting.
I've the Penn Clash 8000 which can be overkill for most landbased fish. I bought it with the ambition to hunt Jewies and Kingfish. Taken to the beach only a few times. How do you clean your reel internals after a good day of saltwater splashing?
Rod, Have you had any problems with your Lowrance. I've seen so many negative feedbacks on the latest models Lowrance Hook Reveal 7 which didn't have GPS.
Always love it when I get RoKKit notification come up, great video mate and the burgers look good too. Question: Can you tell me what type of wire you use on your Lasers?
seem to be having a little trouble with my slammer III, well not sure if im having trouble or its the new drag system but it gets to a point that when i try and loosen it it just wont loosen and its still to much drag for using baits and letting fish run off with them, hooked 2 sharks and bent 2 rod holders last fishing trip and almost lost my rod and reel :(
Thanks for watching mate! Im not 100% sure of the brand but they are from BCF in the kayak section, they are around $7. Nothing too fancy but hey work great because of the coiled bungy. I think the brand maybe "Glide"... Maybe. Cheers Rod
I have a NRS Zen and a Ultra Trek II... the NRS is the black one its nice and compact but Had to remover some of the buoyancy in the front as it stopped me from being able to swim so not the best choice if your not comfortable with the idea of cutting it and mucking around with the foam... The Ultra is very popular here and is comfortable for paddling as it has neoprene to stretch and mould nice and snug, also lots of pockets in the right places. Cheers Rod
Recommendation to power you Kayak electronics I picked one up today Its called the "Berkley Power Pack" I bought the 12volt 9amp in also comes with charger and you are able to connect a USB cable to recharge phones and other USB based things around 80.00 American dollars here in Minnesota. 90 hours on one charge for Sonars.
Hey David, good to hear its working for you. I don't tend to use the Lead batteries anymore as the weight factor starts to blow out. I use a lifepo4 lithium battery. They have a similar output but weigh in at about 500grams. Super light!
hey rokkit im a big fan of your channel and a kayak fisho to but have only fished Morton bay and haven't gone open water yet what wind speed would be good at palm beach for a first attempt at open water kayak fishing?
Hey mate, it really depends on what your comfortable with I guess. But pick a low wind and swell day until your ready to take on more. Id say swell under 1metre is nice and 10km wind or less would be a nice day. Head out with a buddy the first few times if they have a bit of experience. Cheers Rod
Well Rod I have to wait of the order of a stealth Kayak for now. But I did buy a new Raymarine Dragonfly 5 pro sonar and a "feelFree" Large fishbag .my feelfree moken 14 will like the new upgrades ill eat peanutbutter and jelly for the next few months and order my stealth Profisha.
Its crazy, but fun to fight and you get a good feeling when releasing them, but the worst feeling when they get you in the reef or rocks when you fishing on the rocks >:(. Anyways, great channel keep it up
Oh man my question is, if you were to build something why would he build that monstrosity? There's many different cheap ways of building a yakor a boat
Rod ur a cool dude and probably my favorite UA-camr, always good fun and nice guy to hang out with, cheers!
Well done Rod, excellent example how to help& encourage youngsters.. Poor Timmy😂.. but in the end his persistents pays off...
Rod, you are a good man. You helped your mate launch his craft, that was awesome.
gold mate laughed so hard at me trying to get out haha. loved the video well put together rod :)
Thanks for the trip out mate, had a blast. Kings and Snapper next time!
Just seeing you two work together has made my day! Nothing better then anglers helping each other out.
Thanks mate, yea was a great day, funny getting the raft on the ocean for sure!
just love the way how you guys enter in the water lol thumbs up
No avoiding getting wet on these trips :)
I love going back to these old vids!
+RoKKiT KiT & +Fishing With Timmy Turtle Great to meet you guys and fish with you. Will try to get my videos edited soon. Maybe one day all 3 of us can fish together.
Had a top day mate! Your welcome down anytime for sure. Another trip with all of us would be sweet.
Lets plan one for when it's a bit warmer. I'd love to get out for a Mahi Mahi, then we can feed your family.
Andy's Fishing hey how its going mate
Hey there, best to message me on my channel.
I saw your Cobia video, bit jealous, maybe next time.
Haaahahaaa, that launch reminded me of Tom Hanks in Cast Away!!
Where's Wilson??? lol
Fishing, bloody good times when you look back at this.
Yep was a top day. Now to do it again!
been following for awhile now, just wanna say big shout out for helping fellow anglers. Taking time to help a buddy was awesome and goes a long way in my book. keep up the great work and awesome videos.....cheers mate all the way from Sunny florida
Thanks mate, was just a good excuse to have fun out on the water and catch some fish so was happy to give it a go. Timmy turned out to be a top bloke too so happy days!
I swear watching these two launch into the surf is akin to the old tortoise and the hare nursery rhyme.
Wow, top of the Woz verses budget pipe job, awesome video guys. Gotta love that pipe dream. It just shows you the lengths people will go to who have limited resources. Well done for coming up with something that floats Timmy. Hats off to both of you.
My two favorite Australian fishing youtubers. Now you need to go do some inshore fishing with Timmy.
Yep, there will be a fews different trip coming up for sure. Ill need to bush up on my inshore... I suck!
Mate the sound of that reel drag is the best ,LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yea, that drag sound! my mind instantly links it with good things.
Great vid Rod! Love the edit of you paddling into the sun with the tune playing in the background
Thanks Mate, yea the day provided some nice shots, thats for sure
Absolutely love all your fishing videos mate... Keep the great work up
man your content is tops I am hooked! just bought my first yak cant wait to get out in sydney and have a fish ! suprised you dont have hundreds of thousands of subs man great channel champ!
Thanks mate, good luck on kayak, some big Sydney kings would be nice. Yea hopefully the youtube algorithm gives me some love at some point to grow the channel a bit faster, until then just got to keep grinding away. Cheers Rod
Rod, you and Tim are my favourite UA-camrs by far. Thanks so much for the video mate.
Thanks Mate, nice to hear your into the vids. Should be a few more trips out with Tim coming up too.
Fan of both your channels, sik collab. Wish we got those sort of fish in sydney (mac tunas the only ones that come this far south from my personal experience at least).
Thanks mate, yea the mackerel stop around the South west rock area... I have heard of a spotted mackerel being caught down that far before but pretty rare... but hey Snapper, Kings and Squid arn't so bad :)
Was spotted mackerel in Pittwater last summer
That guy riding a barn door and sewage pipes on the ocean?
lol
Great vid guys. It's awesome seeing the two of you out on the water smashing the spotties together
Cheers Mate, yea the Spotties were on!
New sub .... awesome clip Rod .... thanks for sharing. I could listen to that drag sing all day :)
Thanks for the sub mate, yea that drag sound!

Those blokes in the boats will be spewing watching you catch the Spotties and releasing :-)
Thats awesome mate! No better feeling than helping someone else get their first species and tick one off the list. Hopefully i will see you at the coffs comp if you are coming.
Yep was a great day, ill be at the scoffs comp 100%
Awesome mate.. all you need is Andy to join you two :)
Ha! yea I wonder if he would... One day maybe
you guys getting into the water was like the movie castaway
Haha yea was a crack up, pipe dreams needed the pop up sail!
This is terrific! Two of my favourite UA-camrs in the same video, and some great fishing to go with it! Good stuff fella's.
Cheers Benno!
Haha thank you for providing the world with the spectacle that was timmy's launch! That's one of those days where I really wish I was on the water too- top stuff mate
Cheers Owen, yea was fun as launching the raft. Will be seeing you at the Coffs comp yea?
Yes indeed. Will be in the park beach park- feel free to stop in if you like scotch!
Lmao, I couldnt think of two more different fisherman to be fishing together
Top vid RoKKiT. Some fun memories for you right there. Good fishing and plenty of laughs.
Cheers Mate, yea was a crack up being out on the water with Tim.
I can only imagine what the boaties were thinking! Made your Stealth look pretty slick across the water, too.
that launch was hilarious. I would have failed getting out also from laughing so much! You do good videos, cheers from Florida :)
Yea was a crack up, will have to do another trip with Timmy soon. Thanks for watching the vids!
you seem like a top guy, nothing phases you at all. Happy hunting.
That's so cool mate! Man...wow on a pvc raft. Must be super tough landing that bad boy in 🏄. Tight Lines. Nice Colab.
Cheers Frank, the raft coasted in quite well in the end, we half expected it to flip but all good :)
Epic 🎣🦈🐟🐠🐡🛶🚣♀️🚣♂️🐟
You two fellas should keep on making vids together ay. Lovin em!!!!
Yep, I'm sure we will do another vid soon.
Great vid. Absolutely loved it. Cheers
Thanks Wes!
I loved the show guy's 😀🎣🐟
That is the coolest looking Kayak I've ever seen
Yea its a pretty slick. A lot faster and more surf capable then most of the plastic fishing kayaks around.
Thats a sick vid!! Love the kayak!!!
Thanks Mate!
Look like the Spanish Mackerel we catch here in Florida.
nice one mate looked like fun. looked like a grate day champ
Yep it all came together.
Awesome video, really well edited!
I know this is an older vid, but mate your kayak is sick lookin, black and orange.
Cheers mate, yea I’ve got a newer one now but very similar 👍
Skull-dragging fish in with that Penn Slammer hahha
Yea the 5500 is a bit of overkill for spotties for sure but you never know what else will be zipping around. The outer reel I was catching on was the 3500 so a little more sporting.
I've the Penn Clash 8000 which can be overkill for most landbased fish. I bought it with the ambition to hunt Jewies and Kingfish. Taken to the beach only a few times. How do you clean your reel internals after a good day of saltwater splashing?
Love what you do keep it up 👏
Rod, Have you had any problems with your Lowrance. I've seen so many negative feedbacks on the latest models Lowrance Hook Reveal 7 which didn't have GPS.
Always love it when I get RoKKit notification come up, great video mate and the burgers look good too. Question: Can you tell me what type of wire you use on your Lasers?
Thanks Mate, I'm just using the same single strand wire I use for the bait rigs. Just slightly lighter, 38lbs.
seem to be having a little trouble with my slammer III, well not sure if im having trouble or its the new drag system but it gets to a point that when i try and loosen it it just wont loosen and its still to much drag for using baits and letting fish run off with them, hooked 2 sharks and bent 2 rod holders last fishing trip and almost lost my rod and reel :(
Good content all the time
nice vid mate will subscribe!
Thanks for the Sub mate!
haha I love timmy turtle. you're okay too rokkit
Hey Craig!!! Whats up mate? Yea Timmy was a crack up... I can get his autograph for you if like :)
As always nice video.
Cheers Mate
Hey! Great show!! Do you mind sharing the manufacture of the rod straps you use? Thanks
Thanks for watching mate! Im not 100% sure of the brand but they are from BCF in the kayak section, they are around $7. Nothing too fancy but hey work great because of the coiled bungy. I think the brand maybe "Glide"... Maybe. Cheers Rod
Thanks so much for the quick reply! Keep up the good work!
Hi mate nice video and fish
Hey, Rod, i fish in Moreton bay and was wondering if you knew any good spots
thanks will
Hey Will, I have not fished up near Mortan really... I gave it a crack once off Mortan Island but no luck unfortunately... Sorry not i'm much help.
Hi Rod, wondering what PFD do you use for offshore? i just got my first kayak, looking to go out :)
I have a NRS Zen and a Ultra Trek II... the NRS is the black one its nice and compact but Had to remover some of the buoyancy in the front as it stopped me from being able to swim so not the best choice if your not comfortable with the idea of cutting it and mucking around with the foam... The Ultra is very popular here and is comfortable for paddling as it has neoprene to stretch and mould nice and snug, also lots of pockets in the right places. Cheers Rod
Thanks for your reply! :) will be looking to get one of them :) Cheers! Can't wait to go out!

Thanks Ill look into that in the future.
Great video mate!
Thanks Hazza!
hey rokkit im a big fan of your channel and a kayak fisho to but have only fished Morton bay and haven't gone open water yet what wind speed would be good at palm beach for a first attempt at open water kayak fishing?

thanks for the advice i might head out next sun, mon or Tuesday they all look good :D
Hey Rokkit, sick vid man like the real was screaming on that Mack Tuna but just wondering where you were fishing?
Thanks Mate! We were at Palm Beach Reef.
Hey just wondering how the slammer prefomes casting lures
Yea I rate it for casting, would be good for Beach or Land based too.
You and timmy need to do more vids together
Yep will do more for sure
🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
nice vid
Cheers Mate
Ohhh My god Timmy...
Ow yah also man what braid and rod is that
The rods and reels in this vid will be the same Slammer 3 5500 and 3500s from the other vids. Cheers Rod
Well Rod I have to wait of the order of a stealth Kayak for now. But I did buy a new Raymarine Dragonfly 5 pro sonar and a "feelFree" Large fishbag .my feelfree moken 14 will like the new upgrades ill eat peanutbutter and jelly for the next few months and order my stealth Profisha.
Nice one David, as long as you can get out on the water your looking good. Cheers Rod
Do you mind if I tag along next time? I have Hobie PA 14.
Hey Don, if your keen, all the local kayak guys launch from the Surf Club at 7th ave on any good weather day. Be sure to say hi if your coming down.
Pa14 don’t belong in the surf mate. You’d capsize
great video bro just watch timmys one
Thanks for watching them both mate!
T took some time to get out there, dident it
my biggest fish was a 60cm kingy off the rocks.. crazy fighters! not legal though :(
So close mate, amazing how many you catch at just under 65cm.
Its crazy, but fun to fight and you get a good feeling when releasing them, but the worst feeling when they get you in the reef or rocks when you fishing on the rocks >:(. Anyways, great channel keep it up
lmao "it's hard to watch"
What kayak is that
Its a Stealth Profisha 475
Tell Timmy to hurry up and get his sk14 on the water! I know Urbane_east has been getting helping him out.
Yep will do! He is on it and getting close. Should be a beast once finished.
Oh man my question is, if you were to build something why would he build that monstrosity? There's many different cheap ways of building a yakor a boat
looks like you have a hit
We will see... Im sure Timmy's channel will do most of the heavy lifting... they seem to be feeding off each other nicely so far.
up to 4k subs bro. soon you'll be on top the game.
I am watching the video but do u think it's good
Not sure if Im reading this right, are asking if I like the video?
