Cool footage here bud. Awesome info for kids especially for the holiday time of year. You must be due for another trout video on a lake somewhere. It has been raining a lot though
Hi Kevin, would you mind to share where this spot of kaiapoi river? I have 4 years old daughter going to teach her fish. Looking for very safe spot like in your video. Used to fish in waimak, but not very safe for little baby girl. Cheers
For me I fillet them and put flour, pepper, chia seeds onto it and fry it. My grandma makes amazing herring herrings I think she would use egg in it it's so good though :)
I'm just getting back into fishing for the first time since I was a kid and I'm Christchurch based. Would you recommend Kaiapoi river or is there other spots too? I was intending to go rock fishing at the 'Black Rock' Taylor's mistake spot but I'm not really in the know about these things
Do you eat these mullets? People tell me mullets are not good eating, that they are dirty trash fish, and that they have a lot of bones. Anyway, if you eat them and like them more power to you and keep eating! I wonder if the common mullets that live in the Gulf of Mexico would eat pieces of fish like these yellow-eyed mullets. I've never seen anybody caught a mullet with bait before, the ones that I've seen caught were always being snagged with treble hooks.
I know the video is 3 yrs old but i just wanna say thanks for putting this together. Very helpful and informative! Cheers!
I do like a little bobber on the line when fishing for bait.. Love watching the bobber move, and kids love that too.
Bobber fishing is extremely enjoyable mate, I love it too.
Nice under water footage & an informative video. It looks like a lot of fun for kids, good stuff.

good fun ,wondering what river your on if ya going to eat them? read a couple of articles about the state of lowland canterbury tribs lately
There's a commercial mullet fishery in lake Ellesmere, which may surprise some people. This is the Kaiapoi river.

I was in the area of the railway bridge
Thanks for sharing, will take kid to try.
You can use a 3cm lure and a 1g jig head to catch these fish
Great video as usual Kevin
Great video, I have two young kids myself and will defo be trying this with them.
If you can, will you show us on how you cook these up please. Cheers
Good idea, watch this space!

@@the_fly_must_die8491 Chia seeds? Is that to provide extra crunch on the fried fish?
Great info for the kids, cheers Kevin
Hi Kevin, would saltwater creek be worth looking into for mullet? 3 daughters who like fishing and it's closer than the kaiapoi
Yip it should be, not sure about this time of year though. They come into the Ashley
@@Kevinohanlons thanks for the reply, Ashley is even closer

Yip, the Kaiapoi river is a great spot for Mullet fishing.
@@Kevinohanlons Are we likely to catch trout or salmon there too?
@@Kevinohanlons
Also, would you want to be fishing when it's almost high tide, when it starts coming in, or it doesn't matter?
@@Legitimate123 Best around the high tide
@@Kevinohanlons Thanks Kevin :)
Nice camera work
Good information
Again a nice one mate. Are you going far from the sea ?
No mate, a few kms
Heers
Very tasty smoked

Yes, these mullet are good eating, but they are likely to be a totally different species to those found within the gulf of mexico.
