400km On A Micro Boat, Marlin On! - Fraser Island Part 3
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- Part Three!!! After just scraping through with one Spanish Mackerel so far the trip gives me one last gift to get me excited for the next time... Fraser Island is one of the special places in the world, the largest sand island on the planet and one of the only places that Black Marlin can be regularly caught in less then a few metres of water! This trip pushed the skiff to new limits and was a real adventure, with both ups and downs. Really hope you enjoyed the Fraser Trip! I cant wait to have another crack! Cheers Rod

@@rokkitkit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🍻
Enjoyed this 3 part series very much. I had no idea people fished and travelled in small boats like that - totally awesome! I live in Arctic Canada, so seeing this was really amazing, thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed the vids mate! Yea Arctic Canada would be a world away for sure.
Yes it is!
Man, you have made my Pandemic day (this is actually day 32 of lockdown here in the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico, 3/13/2020) with your three part series... Felt like I was there with you and brought great memories. Need it that. Gracias amigo; Capt Luis Burgos out
Ahh Rod, it's hard to put my finger on what it is that makes me love your vids so much but just keep doing it mate because when I see a notification that Rokkit has uploaded a new video I know it's going to be a good day.
Thanks for all the support Jeff! Glad your enjoying the vids!
Can't wait to visit the amazing country of Australia and go fishing...🍺👍✌🇦🇺🎣🐟🎣🤪 That whales shot was amazing🐳🐳🐳🐋🐋🐋👍
"catch again, catch gain.." ...the best moment vid...hahahah....
what an amazing moment
Wow! What a beautiful place.
Dude never had a fishing video give me as much goosebumps as this one mate.🙌
Build up was insane, glad you got em but bummer it didnt stay hooked up.
Great effort bud!
Super stoked for you!
Your videos has gone up tremendously in quality!👌👌👌
Cheers mate👍
I reckon if you brained the trip and caught dozens of big fish it would probably put every trip in the future in the so so basket. Frazer wants you back and she gave you that golden moment to seal the deal. Awesome trip with the all the highs and lows that every adventure is made of.
Well bloody said mate.
Cheers mate, yep I’ve definitely got to get back up soon I think👍
Well said
I feel very fortunate to find your channel. Me and my daughter love all of your videos. We appreciate your hard work ....
Thanks for watching, glad your enjoying the vids 👍

Paradise Lets hope mankind can keep iT this way 🙏❤️🦋🌏🦋❤️🙏 Greatvideo thanks again 💯🤟🏴☠️
I'm really glad I found this channel. I'm so used to people pushing people off and not helping one another. It's nice to see another perspective of the world.
Great footage of the marlin chasing down your lure on the cast mate :)
Thanks Rod, yea was crazy seeing it come flying in a few times👍
Simple "boating" advice from someone who's been caught out in too many bad storms.
If in doubt and you are already ashore, then stay there!!
Felt so gutted for you with that last fish there mate. Can honestly say that I felt some of your pain when that thing came off the hook. Thanks for another great video, Rod. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks mate!!
Site casting marlin and the sound of rain on a tent... epic , loved the vid.
Been waiting all week for this! Fantastic trip. That fish was just the invitation needed for a return trip! No doubt that fish will haunt you! Great video! Thanks.
Isn’t RodKITKIT The Best UA-camr In The Whole World !!
Haha, I’m pretty sure he means it for me though 😄 thanks for support guys👍
Scott Huey I know I just like being nice Because maybe one day I would be able to go fishing with RodKITKIT Or Cavy and other Fisherman UA-camr’s
Great vid Rokkit! Let me know if you ever make it to the states aka FL . Nothing better than chasing tarpon and king macks in a 17ft canoe.
Indeed he is, no doubts✌🍺🍺🐟🎣🇦🇺
Haha the ending was epic and you’ll get em next time 😊
Haha, yep the trip the year after went a little better👌
am i the only one seeing like some frames flash under 0.2 secs like some memes or something like that
Got a glimpse of The Simpsons a few times, I think... Subliminal whatever, eh?
ForLongLiving no i saw it too
He's quoting The Simpsons. It's a frame of the episode hes referring to at 8:19
I was looking for this comment
I have encountered that in so many videos on this channel. I don't really understand what they were.
That series was sooo sick!
Soooo close!! I was shouting at the screen when that marlin came back!
Saved by a fish at the last eh? That looked like such a cool trip!!! you did better that I did fishing your grounds on the gold coast lol... It was great to meet you the other day and thanks again for organizing the loaner kayak for me while I was over there! Cheers!!!
Kerry Flowers Kayak Fisherman Rokkit kit and Kerry collaboration video next time rod is in northland? That would be dope
@@natgordon442 We did talk about it... I guess it depends on weather Rod comes back here....Cheers!!!
I’d be keen to come back to NZ for sure👍 good to meet you too Kerry will have to make sure we catch up for a fish next time.
hey, just stumbled across your channel and this "400km micro skiff" series.
great work! really enjoy watching.
that guac looks amazing
Still worth every effort. Great channel. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Amazing adventure. That marlin counts. Definitely. It doesn't matter if it didn't come aboard. We have same problem with white marlin coming until the boat but they didn't bite the lures. Solution, just stop the lure and let it sink. Completely dead. Even with the skirt lure. And fish on!
Really! Now I have to go back and give it another go!
Congrats mate you deserved hopefully next time you can pull in that beast!!! As always thanks for the amazing vidro
An epic trip! You live in paradise my friend. Always a positive attitude, you're like the Brian Cox of fishing!
haha, thanks mate 👍 if only I had his smarts
Your vids are surely a great help for lur mental health. Cheers mate
Awesome episode mate. Always hanging out for your uploads. Don't change a thing!! The blacks don't give a sucker an even break lol.
Hi named after me! what a place,pity about the black, great footage.
cheers Fraser
Last part of video almost a big slammer dude wow excited for
you dats how it rolls rockitt😜
Fraser Island getting some press today! Knew where it was thanks to your trip.
At about 14:27 you can see him going after your lure..... awesome !!
That was AMAZING Rod !!!!!!
At least you got the hook up on camera !!!!
WOW ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice job Rod! I never understood why people were so into Marlin until I watched that fish chase your lure in. I FELT THE HYPE! Haha. Stoked for you man.
They are a very impressive fish when you see them up close for sure👍
5:49 high af😂
Glad I found a relatable youtuber 😄
Rokkit Kit: why were you covering your mouth when you were talking?
Fraser Island will take a hold of you. The place will never be far from your mind.
dont know if anyone has spotted the picture at 8:19 if you slow the playback to the slowest speed you can see it and even pause it.
Watched the the videos, definitely jealous🤟🏽Boston MA #bigfatbass!
Killer vids. Love the little skiff life here in fla too!. That trip was a dream!👍👍👍
so good! same thing happened to me on the last day...cant wait for the next trip up there in 2 weeks! sharpening the hooks so it sticks this time.
Good luck mate! hope you get some!
My favorite quote was.. "and I'm sunburnt as h*ll" 😂
So burnt😅
Hi from the UK.
Just as you going home you get the best bite ever. A typical fisherman tale. At least you have proof you hooked up.
Keep up the good work more longer vids pal
can't spell relaxo without relax!
Haha you nailed it mate, classic line right there👌🏆
Well done mate .
Now i wanna watch the Simpsons for some reason 🤪
That was great i bet that heart was pumping for a minute
Good edit and keep it up m8
Yea was brief, but was very exciting after trying so hard!
Good one Rod. A real blast at the end!
Man what an awesome video, thanks for sharing brother!!!!
Awsome mate he was giving you a taste for the big return 👍
Brother you look like Johnny tsunami grew up 90s kids will now what I'm talkin bout lol anyways great content love the vids keep fishing never stop
hey RoKKiT KiT, you should switch to a hammock with an over sized rain fly. its so nice because you can still do stuff under it and not have to lay there
Your very good at making yummy looking food out of very little very impressive and well done on the Marlo
Yeah buddy! Great trip Rod
Thanks Shoulders! Summer is almost upon us👌
Yep can’t come quick enough . Will have to catch up on the water soon
This was awesome
A nice series of videos ,and I do envy you being able to undertake it in such a beautiful place with such calm waters ,but if ever I had the opportunity to undertake such a trip I think that I would use a traditional English style cove boat in the same length or alloy boat ,not only because they are a lot more stable as well as taking the weather better ,but also being able to carry that 2 nd get you out of trouble engine because no matter how good your motor is the AA doesn't come out 3 miles offshore.As I said a nicely made video ,but for such long journeys on your own ,as some once once said " I think you need a bigger boat ""
Brilliant little series, mate. I have some life long memories of Fraser Island back from my travelling days. You have a truly beautiful country 👍🏻
Choice videos thanks rokkit kit
Nice Anchor, we're glad to hear you like it!
Cheers guys, yea the little anchor saved me on this trip😅 works a treat! I actually have a new inflatable boat on the way this week so will check out the next size up👍
@@rokkitkit Send us a email, let us know your address and we'll get one to you.
Thanks Guys, just sent message through your website👌
Looked like an awesome trip man! I'm a great lake troller from canada but this looks unreal
Spectacular part of the world and great video series Rod!
Made it to Wathumba Jan 2020 via Inskip > Orchid, caught nothing the whole Fraser trip and drank too much ;) But cant wait to get back, hopefully with a vessel of some sort. Stoked to see you got hook ups mate!!
Cheers from Adelaide
awesome AS always
Very entertaining. I felt like I was there fishing. Thank you...
I love your work man
Excellent video!
So close mate. Epic trip. Thanks for sharing.
So sick man! Love watching your vids! Different fishing than here in Denmark thats for sure! Great stuff
Nice work bro! Way to keep after it!
Nice one!
Cheers m8 in the land down unda
Hold up Rod...
Who the hell in this world dislikes a sick ass fishing video like this?
Probs dudes that are jellaaaaay! 😂😂🤣🤜
Mate some people just can’t be pleased
@@rokkitkit Same people who think the earth is flat 😂👉
Excited to see some future vids bud 😍👌👌👌
LOVED that 3 part video, man. What an epic time, minus the black getting off haha. Been looking at those skiffs. I have a Stealth Fisha 460 that I love and we're just starting to get those boats over here in the states. A buddy of mine recently picked one up and I really want to take it for a spin.
Cheers mate, yea the skiff are very cool fun, especially if you have a good launch spot 👍
Marlin was very cool man
Great to see the Timmy Turtle shirt
So close to glory.......you know this just means you have to do it over again and pin that black marlin🎣👍
Brilliant video mate
Great vid Rod. I bet you forgot about your hangover once the black started peeling line?!
Ha yep, was feeling very sketchy in the morning, but came good after a bit :)
New to your channel, that was a great trip baby blacks or not. What a paradise
Thanks for watching mate👍
Loved seeing that little fella rush in 😍😍😍 K's get the fish
cant wait to get back and give it another crack👍
Spewing mate! Pretty cool to get the footage of him coming back for a 2nd crack though haha
Nice view
Awesome videos love the Frazer coast what a place to just kick back and chill away from the big smoke #sydney have family up at Harvey bay when I go I don’t want to leave
Awesome video Rod. I love Fraser Island. I've been there every year for the last 8 years or so. About 3 years back I dropped a bait about 200m out the front of Nkgala rocks with my drone on the eastern side and it was picked up by a small black. They are amazing things when you see them get up and start tail walking. Last year I went to Wathumba with a kayak and tried to hook onto one, but wasn't successful.
Yea I thing I will make the trip regularly from now on. its and amazing place... ill have t check out the east side too one day soon.
I camp in that exact same spot every year and we catch huge spotty and marlin and some yellowfin. I hope you have as much luck as we do
Will give this trip another go soon, hopefully luck will be on my side this time👍
Ahh mate feel your pain on the dropped fish, after all those hours too. Have just randomly got onto your vids yesterday and really enjoyed them. You seem like a ripper bloke too 👍 I’ve just got into yak fishing with a hobie outback after being mostly land based my whole life. Your setup with the motor looks killer!
Looking forward to future vids 👍
Thanks for watching the vids mate, yep will have to have another crack at it soon👍
I was so keen to watch this and had to wait to do a bunch of errands this morning! Awesome to see you get onto your target, but so disappointing for it to throw the hook. Fuel to the fire for the next trip. Still, a great series and trip!
Was at fraser last seek there was to much tuna there it got to the point where we had lost almost every lure we owned. Was really surprised not to see big schools of them🤔
As always nice video
I wish they were feeding when I was there. Tried so hard to catch one😅
Good one! Had to chuckle at the "feeling fragile" part 😂
Haha, yep flu and a hangover... perfect start for a long 50km troll home 😂
Just subscribed to your channel, your content is GREAT!!! Keep it up, greetings from Mexico!!
Some sick footage in there mate, good stuff
Dang man even know you didn’t land it that was a hell of a experience buddy 🤙🏾
Sick vid again rod keep it up
Great video
Awesome vids mate all 3 of them. Heartbreaking moment when that black got away, crazy how he kept coming back for more though!! keep it up mate
Thanks mate, ill get one next time!
