Kingfish, Workups and Comp-Winning Snapper an Hour From Auckland — Jonathan Watts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jonathan Watts runs Northside Adventures, a Hauraki Gulf charter operation he started in late 2018 — barely a season and a half of trading before the March 2020 lockdown shut the water down. He grew up 130 kilometres from the sea in the English Midlands, float fishing canals on a pushbike, then spent four years surfcasting the Welsh coast before landing in New Zealand in 2001 and having to relearn everything. That freshwater stealth-and-presentation background is exactly why he now fishes the Gu
Solo on a Jetski, 100kg Bluefin, One Shark Trying to Steal It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode contains footage shot by Matt Ringot (@FrenchAdrift) and remains his own content — best viewed in video mode. Matt Ringot — known online as French Adrift — grew up fishing lakes and rivers in France with his grandparents before landing in New Zealand ten years ago and falling hard for saltwater. He's since gone from an old Cresta Craft in Wellington Harbour, to a kayak that nearly got the better of him twice, to building his fishing life almost entirely around a jetski — chasing sna
7-Hour Swordfish Battle, One NZ Women's Record — Helen Horrocks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Helen Horrocks is a Scottish-born sailor turned game fisherman turned boating coach, now based in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. In this episode she traces her unlikely path into fishing — from scavenging tangled line off riverbanks as a kid, to kayak guiding in Paihia, to buying her own yacht so she could learn to skipper on her own terms. That same yacht became the platform for her game fishing obsession, sparked by a triple marlin strike that hooked her for good. Helen now holds a ratified
The 30-Pound Snapper He Waited 10 Years to Catch — Andre Kassal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Andre Kassal — @Drefish, Ocean Angler pro staff — moved to New Zealand from Germany in 2011 chasing trout, and stumbled into saltwater fishing almost by accident after watching a fishing show on TV. Fifteen years later he's personally landed three snapper over 85cm — five between him and his wife Kie — from a 4.5-metre boat Kie talked him into buying, all fished in water so shallow he can see the bottom. This episode covers his shift from German freshwater lure fishing (Zander, pike, perch) to N
$497,000 on the Other Side of Three-Meter Seas Mark Phillips + Jason van Esch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Part 2 picks up where the action is — sounder marks, Rays Bream bars, throwaway waypoints, and the discipline to ditch a predetermined plan the moment something better appears on screen. The conversation turns to the pre-fishing mission that set up the biggest result of their careers: bait stacked at Whale Rock, a fish spotted off Cuvier, and a weather window that most boats decided to sit out. The conditions were brutal — three-and-a-half metre seas, wet weather gear purchased the morning of, a
