Big snapper feed on soft bait | Snapper fishing NZ | soft bait & sliders king fish trevally kahawai

Ойын-сауық

Thomas from Chasing a Catch takes the boat out in the Far North of Aotearoa New Zealand to fish with soft baits and sliding jigs. I start off in shallow water with soft baiting and move deeper as the day goes on. Fishing is good but gets much better once the wind comes with with double hook ups happening. I catch snapper, kahawai, king fish and trevally.
Gear used:
Rod | Abu Garcia Veritas 6-10kg
Reel | Penn Slammer III 3500
Soft bait | Z-Man Jerk ShadZ
Boat | Smartwave
Engine | Mercury

    Nice one Thomas. That snapper is great if cooked asam pedas or masak lemak cili api 🤤🤤Is it possible for you to show us some land based fishing like trout fishing in your next video? It's my dream to go trout fishing using an ultralight setup in New Zealand.😁

    Thanks very much mate. Not a style of fishing I’ve ever done but would love to give it a crack one day. Plenty of amazing freshwater options here in NZ. Thanks for watching. Thomas

    hi Thomas , how far off the bottom do you drift the slider ? enjoying the videos .

    Thanks for watching and I’m glad you’re enjoying them. It’s just off the bottom. Within a meter I’d say. I want it as close as possible but not right on the bottom as I don’t want to snag or just pick up weed etc. Hope that helps. Cheers, Thomas

    Sometimes you may need to change type and size of soft baits to entice the big ones!

    Yeah for sure. I’ve got a pretty good collection going now so will play more in future videos. I do catch plenty of big fish on the 5 inch softbaits though. Thanks for watching.
