Fishing Whangarei harbour (snapper, mullet, kahawai)

on this day I struggle to get a bite so I head into the shallows with my cast net to try my luck at getting some fresh baits. safe to say it all pays off in the end 😁

Couple of suggestions get yourself a marine map of the Harbour that you can take with you that way at least if fish finder not working can use that to work out where channels and holes are . As with burley cage try a burley bomb in it either a brought one or make one. The fish frame better to mince up to make a burley or chop up to add to burley trail. Have the cage just below boat . To give you a better burley trail. Hope that helps

[@D-GAF]

Thanks for the advice Brenton 🙂
I do use Navionics on my phone to help with finding holes and Channels etc..
I did try buy a heavy duty meat mincer on trade me to do just that but got out bidded haha maybe I will have to just buy a pre-made burley bomb next time. Cheers mate 😁

[@brendont1082]

@@D-GAF have a look in second hand shop for a smaller hand mincer. The burley will help with bringing in bait fish of grab a couple of tins of cheap fish flavor cat food to mix with the oats

Nice catch cuzzy! Easy slay

Cheers bro 😁

[@michaelclark9337]

Really enjoyed your stoke at getting on the bite. When did you film this? Shorts? Seriously? If you go to Hunting Fishing across from Countdown they have a fish release that is simply a heavy metal handle with a hooked end. You can release the fish without wiping off their protective slime coat when you hold them. There are several vids out there on how to use the release. Looking forward to seeing your next effort; this was fun to watch.

Burley is your friend bro.
Especially when it’s a bit slow.

Burley and I are gonna be Bf+++ this winter haha. Cheers 😁

Nice video bro. Love fishing the Whangārei Harbour. Where did you get your cast net from?

[@D-GAF]

Thanks bro 😁 I brought the net over from Australia when I moved here

[@user-pn6su1zc8r]

Real fishermen don’t go telling everyone where to go

[@kitbigelow1981]

[@D-GAF]

Oh true I thought that was for set nets only. I better look into it. Thanks for looking out bro 🫶🏻 hopefully I’m safe 😅

[@D-GAF]

Just checked cast net rules needs mesh size of 25mm so I’m all good. Cheers 😁

@Land-n-Sea my brother-in-law lives up in Onerahi, and the Snapper are plentiful and healthy all around that harbour. Best harbour I have fished in.
