ROCK FISHING SPIRIT'S BAY FOR KINGFISH AND SNAPPER

ROCK FISHING SPIRIT'S BAY FOR KINGFISH AND SNAPPER. Had a day doing LBG at Spirit's Bay, the site of my first land based kingfish, weighing 38lb. Snapper kahawai and a shark were all encountered with a restless sea causing some swell to wash up the rocks and keep us on our toes.

Cooking
John dory with leek and oyster sauce seafood recipe. John dory are an ugly fish and dont fight very much but they are one of the best tasting fish in the sea.

How to prepare kingfish sashimi with garlic, ginger and soy
This is a delicious way to eat raw kingfish. While not a traditional way of preparing sashimi it is a very good way for first time raw fish eaters to have a go.

Rocking fishing on one of the rock stacks past Rangitoto Island, some snapper action and an interesting trip home.

Fishing the Hibiscus Coast with Mandy Kupenga from the TV show Get Your Fish On for trevally and snapper, awesome drone footage on a blue sky day.

A trip to Channel Island at the top of the Coromandel with snapper and other species caught. A seal and some cool drone footage gives a whole new perspective on this amazing island.

Heli-fishing at Great Barrier – this is certainly an experience for the bucket list. Amazing views and rich rock fishing action make it hard to beat. We came home with snapper and a kingfish that ate my carpenter stickbait. The drone footage came out really well of the rugged rock terrain too.

Rock fishing around Rangitoto with my new drone. Caught a feed of fish and left some skin and blood on the rocks.

Had a good day out fishing around and on Tiri-Matangi Island softbaiting the wash and landing on the rocks. Encountered a pod of Orca in the Tiri channel and had some good action fishing into the evening on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula.

An epic day out on the Kaipara Harbour softbaiting for snapper.

Fishing trip report for the inner Hauraki Gulf, we fished Rangitoto, softbaiting for snapper and kahawai, awesome conditions.

So sad to see the fishing deteriorate over the years.. need to tighten up on fishing regulations I think

Beautiful video. That's somewhere that I'd definitely not forget about visiting.

Magic place & fishing at Hoopers Point is really worth the effort

[BasicFishingNZ]

awesome video. a bit surprised to see so many people so far up north plus how slightly rough the swell was. pretty cool to see a double hook up on the stickbait. the beach looks awesome for surfcasting as well

[shadowstampstatues]

once again another beautifully commentated video even though no massive catch, captivating and joyful to watch. Cheers Scott

I used to go to Cape Kari Kari and Spirits Bay with my friends over 20 years ago. It used to be fantastic. Last time I was at Spirits Bay there was a really obnoxious young DOC ranger there talking down to everyone and generally being an ass. The sheer fishing pressure and numbers of people I saw was really sad.
NZ is has changed a lot and not for the best.

Hi Scott, just wondering if you went across the rocks or over the hill as the tide looked a bit high to go over the rocks, Thanks. Awesome video by the way.

[Butchertypes]

[kaydenrodgers]

You should try slidebaiting off beach or rocks for kingies in one of your videos please

There's been a 7ft white hanging around there for a couple of weeks now.

Been there done that with a lot more effort and a lot less result. Very over fished apart from random pelagics.
Just sub'd, very informative trip report. As many are of your vids. Appreciated from a fellow LB fisho. You might find interest in some of my vids( as area/trip reports ). though a learner on the video editing.

Hey I am heading to Spirits Bay with some friends in Jan. I usually only surfcast from the beach, is that possible at Spirits Bay or is it just rock fishing? Also how long was the walk to get to this spot?
