Another good vid, Some nice fish.

Some nice fish! Awesome looking coastline. How did you enjoy the challenge of only using the one softbait option? Thanks for running through your gear that was helpful.

I note your paddle leash was still attached as you made your run in. I forgot to detach mine about 18 years ago in heavy wave patterns. I was suddenly capsized by a smaller wave in the sets. The paddle leash locked over my left forearm, chest and right shoulder anchoring me upside down to the kayak and also held in by a spray skirt. I was under water for just over one minute and losing consciousness. I recall bringing my legs up then pushing them down violently. Somehow, this snapped the paddle leash and l ejected down to the sea floor to escape. The cardinal rule is, always detach your paddle leash in surf.

What happened to your latest video I was watching now its gone?

Good vid, is that off sandy bay ? How heavy is ya main line and leader

Love that spot. If it was me I would have been straight to Lion Rock with a big kahawai in tow! But I think your plan worked out for an awesome winter session with lots of mahi. How are you finding running 3 cameras?

Would you mind explaining your soft-baiting rod and reel?

Hi. Please try North East of Canada or so. Thousands of miles of coast with no sharks. Canada anyhow. All the luck in this world!

rugby is over now time for some YFF 😎

Great tips, thx Laurie. I've got to start looking for sets and counting waves. Is the magic number always 7 (7 big waves followed by 7 smaller ones) or does it depend upon the interval between waves as well (14 secs in your video)? In other words, is it just coincidental that 7 is half of 14, so there would be 7 big waves followed by 7 smaller ones even if the interval between waves is 10 secs instead of 14 secs?

Good watch mate thanks !! Tough going but hey that’s fishing keeps us going back for more

Nice one Los!! definitely correct, when you are committed don't stop paddling

Another great video, Laurie!

Your experience reading & navigating the ocean shines through here. Theory helps, but nothing beats time on the water! Cheers bro.

Great lil vid for sharing your wisdom thanks Loz. Reminds me to stop being a chicken and get out to some spots with swell to open up the fishing options.

I've been wearing my wetsuit and catching the waves in. I still usually end up in the water, need to practice going side on as they break.

Like a boss. Thanks for sharing very helpful I’m absolutely clueless in the surf 👊🏽

Always enjoy your vids Laurie, informative and educational. Thanks for posting this up.

Jaw dropping scenery and video footage. Your videos and commentary are great from an educational perspective too. On the water with fishing buddies, it's not practical to get close enough to learn by watching without getting in the way of your buddy's fishing. Your videos overcome this problem. Cheers Laurie.

Tough luck Laurie losing that kingy. Did the locking up of your line arise from the way the line was spooled onto your baitcaster or something else?

Awesome Vid Los, was thinking of you boys over the weekend. I was a bit miffed that i missed the comp this year. Hopefully next year ill join you all again.

Totally could have edited out some of that disgusting f*cking language Loz! Glad you didn’t though 😂

Another fine video loz, awesome mahi. What a beautiful place. I have to get out more often. Keep up the great work and congrats to the boys for taking out the prizes.

Great video Laurie, a gripping narrative throughout. Commiserations on missing those two big fish.

Great vid dude thanks for the posting love it cheers

Epic Lozza.

Great choice of music for the cave footage mate. Made the hairs on my arms stand up. Nice spot will have to make a voyage there soon.

what amazing coast line Loz.

those new zman softbait look sick as

Didn't realise you used barbless hooks Laurie. Easier unhooking fish and yourself if unlucky! Cheers

I've got a gt, it's awesome. Trying to find a chill pod though is tricky@@!

That's the info right there cheers for another good vid lauzza

Great tips.... The difference in batteries is massive. I used to use lead batteries also before moving to FPV.... also loosing some weight around the gut makes a big difference on the kayak!!! The problem I have is take to many lures/jigs (just in case) that add the weight back haha

Where abouts in coro is this bro

Awesome vid loz, at first I thought it was an add for Jenny Craig weight loss BAHAHAHA

Great video mate 👌 keep the tips and tricks coming please

great tips on the lighter gears to reduce weight intakes.

I stopped taking a Crate on my kayak to save weight. Now I just take a 6 pack. JK - I don't drink anything on the yak.. Safety above all else.

Maybe Waihi is just a sharky place but I've been hassled a few times by them while bleeding fish etc. The worst encounter was a big mako that followed me and nudged my rudder.

I really like the centre hatch storage idea - where did you get the red bag? did you cut a storage hatch and attach it?

I notice you tie straight to the hook and dont use the gimini clip ,is there a reason for this

What an excellent video, thankyou for making it.

Another very informative video, thanks Laurie. Good to be alerted to the possibility of a rodholder popping while on the water and to get your guide on how to fix it. I see you had soft plastics on both a spinning reel and a baitcaster. Do you have a preference for one or the other in different situations when fishing with soft plastics?

Good review of the new updates, cheers

Great vid Loz. Desperate to get out east Coro again soon, this vid just added to the desperation haha. Love the reverse technique dragging out the big ones will have to give that a go soon. Great fixit job!

Nice vids mate! Just liked and subscribed! Have a peak at our missions in Auckland nz 😊

Bloody plastic kayaks hey Loz 😂 great vid mate

good on you for releasing those fish mate. well done on the video. i was always kinda scared if something serious happens while out on the water in kayak. emergency beacon is a must in all cases.

Another awesome vid Laurie ❤💙
