Great vid guys - love the fishing - keep it in the videos. Good on ya Toby - great to see you put the snapper back. Fantastic mix of school and life for the kids.Def a big thank you to all the amazing POPs our there. Looking forward to the next vid!
Cheers team, well done on making it to 2k... Quite the journey isn't it... We'll be there soon enough hopefully... Yea sometimes they get a bit freaked out putting the fish back, if they have a bit of a flap on the beach when the kids try pick them up, lol... This Pop was great I'm guessing there are a few good ones down south.
@@leopardsgowild Nope--all is smooth sailing here--still doing a couple of volunteer gigs and some church duties--stay safe and keep the videos coming...
Yes Toby just lives in his world of play and adventures... Riley is a great vlogger as long as no one is watching... more great east coast tips coming up...
It's a long haul camping as there is nothing but God's beautiful nature out here do when the weathers bad as it is again today she's a bit boring out here... a lot of people will drive it in a day or have 1 night stop somewhere... definitely worth the adventure
@@leopardsgowild I was on a CHB District Scout trip. We did a round trip right round the Cape and back through Rotorua, with Pete Brun driving one of his original buses. From Memory we stayed in maraes at Tokomaru Bay and Te Araroa in the cape area.
Hey Jennn... did you not see all the rain lol.... we're currently imat the end of a big storm as well yikes.. Caravan life is tough so far... hope your well
My mouth was watering watching you cook and eat that fish. Fishing is not something we ever do but might be worth giving it a try next year when we’re in that area.
Great footage, and some nice snapper for dinner. A real mix of weather. The East Cape is another place I'd love to get back to for a decent trip. We last visited in around 2004 with a wee camper trailer during a massive storm event so didn't see a whole lot
It's a place exposed to the elements aye, very little infrustructre and shops, and it's way put of the way, far from everything no wonder so many people don't go this way. I'd say it hasn’t changed since 2004. Was 2012 we last came round seems the same, but more closed down... I was do happy to eat that Snapper 😋
Some stunning drone shots, and loved watching you catch fish and cook nice healthy meals. Pity about Te Kaha camp being closed, we stayed there on our 2020 trip around the cape. We had yucky weather too!
What a great video!! What a beautiful part of the country I never knew Existed. Thanks for sharing your journeys. Do you keep your awning out at night?
Hey thanks Tracy, was great fun being there until the weather turned... Looks like we are in for a rough night and day tomorrow as well out on the East Coast, hope no roads are affected... We have sometimes left the awning out and then had to take it in at 2am when wind has picked up, so we basically just pack it in every night now.
Awesome videos really enjoy your laid back style need to go and explore this area. Just wondering is drone fishing cheating? If it is I need to buy one.
I feel drone fishing isn't as cheating as going on a boat so 🤷 🤔 😬... I have had much luck since this spot though, do who knows... cheers for watching and the comment 👍
That was an impressive fish, how many meals did that one provide you? It's nice to get a bit of rain aye, days on end another story. Shame about the freedom camp spot closed, we used the one at Te Kaka and it was an awesome spot.
I was so happy with that snapper, it did us 3 large meals, plus the other fish 🐟 we got toby wanted something else... someone in our current spot camped at Te kaha a few nights ago even with the no camping signs they said no dramas... I hope those places open up again it's basically made every business down the coast close. Even tye macadamia Cafe was closed
Great video. Well put together. Great snapper , everyone must of been stoked. Great move to go back and grab a beer whilst fishing 😂 How does the hilux go pulling the van? Obviously you’re in quite mountainous terrain. Does it struggle up the hills? I have a hilux and not to sure to upgrade or hold onto it. We get a new van soon and fully loaded it will be 3T. What are your thoughts on it? Thanks and look forward to the next video 🤙🤙
Hey Thanks for the comment stoked as on a great sized snapper.... beer was a slow drinking beer catching to many fish 🐟... mate the Hilux is a beast, not sure what version you have, we have the SR5 we put it in power mode when towing, pulls the Caravan sweet as, windy hill roads its not uncommon to be in 2nd gear, I try not to let it work to hard so a steep one I just keep the reeves at 2.5rpm and cruise up rather then forcing it...
Fabulous memories being made with Toby, great fishing, mind you it’s about time you caught a few Mike 😜 looks like a great POP, have added that one to our saved list 👍
Yea was a fantastic spot would def go back there again and again... apparently no chance of fitting in over Christmas break 😕 that fish has filled my fishing soul for a few more spots that's for sure, haven't caught a fish since then though.. cheers team.
Hey Chris, Thanks for the message, yep we are good currently sitting by a fire nice and warm in a house of my dads mate. Caravans parked up nextdoor, all nice and dry. roads are open and we'll head to gisbourne next week hopefully in sunny weather
So epic!! So beautiful, Toby was so stoked and who is Jackson 🤣😉😂. . Looks like you guys r pretty at home and really comfortable going full time. I love the nomadic lifestyle for sure. You're almost at 2k subs 🤯💯💪 u guys deserve it, super happy for you guys. Can't wait for the next episode .. cheers bro
Yea man we are looking forward to getting to a town and maybe going to some hot pools we are about 16 days on the coast now, time for a good sized supermarket
@@leopardsgowild I think you got lucky, the commercial fishers will take note and more than likely there will be no fish there very soon.... and blame the recreational fisher for fishing it out.
Oh gosh this is totally the Instagram look into our day, plenty of arguing grumpy people and sitting around, but lots of awesome times and opportunities to explore for sure definitely enjoying life...
Hey Ted I'm not sure mate as we don't have a Dog I imagine if it's a well trained dog it would be fine, you'll find their ph number on the nzmca listing though super friendly ppl.
Binge watching a few episodes. Toby’s so adventurous always trying his hand at the different outdoor activities. Not really into fishing but have to say that fish meal looked insane!
Yea TOby is always up for anything outside wouldn't matter if it was raining... He's pretty good at spotting things far away as well, and making up his own games... He'd be one of those kids that only comes home to eat and sleep... Looking forward to the big open adventurous places we will find in the South Island.
Beautiful drone shots, and that sunset was awesome! Haha, the mysterious Jackson…
I know right Jackson.... hmm.... I take the opportunity to get those drone shots for sure... so glad on this one too.

Sunset was amazinggg
Crazy colours aye... stormy but trying to be nice
Beautiful guys!
Magic spot aye, have you been out around that way before?
@@leopardsgowild Nah it's one I missed on the first round.
Awesome fish ! You da man....Enjoying following your adventures ...
Enjoy having you along for the ride Tom... hope you and linda are doing well... anything new going on...
@@leopardsgowild Nope--all is smooth sailing here--still doing a couple of volunteer gigs and some church duties--stay safe and keep the videos coming...
Toby: Must walk through puddle. Mandatory.
Nice outro Riley.
(Busy taking notes for Christmas trip around East Cape)
Yes Toby just lives in his world of play and adventures... Riley is a great vlogger as long as no one is watching... more great east coast tips coming up...
I haven't been to that part of the country since I was a teenager. It'll be good to see ot again. That was some snapper!!

See ya there !!! Another great. Vid mike
You will mate, weather's improved, drones out and we got some river swimming
My mouth was watering watching you cook and eat that fish. Fishing is not something we ever do but might be worth giving it a try next year when we’re in that area.
Yep our friends went there a few months after us, they got plenty off that beach as well

Yea the drone shots where we parked up on hill were so good I was stoked with how they turned out.... I hope those dots re open
Another great video, thanks Leopards! We have yet to travel the East Coast so I'm following along with interest.
It's a great spot I guess you can go As fast or slow as you want. Lots to see. It's tough camping out here in bad weather though
Dude sickkk fishing dudeee
Yea I was do happy, like happy as ha ha
That fish looks good as
Do you guys get these dudes, snapper?
❤
Cheers team.
Shame about the rain. Hope it gets better. Don’t forget to checkout the church at Tkitiki it is beautiful.
Oh we have had a lot of beautiful days since then it is however raining once again... there dome beautiful churches out here aye

The one thing you cannot control is the weather I guess. Tell Sophie I said Good Luck in the World Cup......but I hope England smash it 😁
Sophie laughs 😃.. will be a good game bring it on... light some touches ✨️ England 🇬🇧 new zealand 🇳🇿 is got some huka
Your women were a force! Hats off to them - what a final.
But I'm so proud of our Black Fern World Champions!!!! 🏆
Hope you guys stay dry and that all roads opened

Cheers mate, I don't know how many videos you brave watched but I've not had the best luck fishing, I was so stoked with that snapper.
@@leopardsgowild I think you got lucky, the commercial fishers will take note and more than likely there will be no fish there very soon.... and blame the recreational fisher for fishing it out.
Another amazing video guys! Hoping for some sunny weather but even with the clouds and rain your life looks amazing. :)

Except Jade
Hey Henley, looks like you must have skipped the first part of your comment???
Is Bev and Teds dog friendly, j can’t find any info on that?
