Hello and welcome to Basic Fishing from New Zealand. Welcome to the another surfcasting video of Basic Fishing. In this video I was out with Lee and tried our luck on some surfcasting. Once again it's been a long time since I've done any surfcasting and it felt great to be back on the beach. The morning was very productive with fish biting our bait off from every cast. Was hard work with the small snappers stripping the bait but both me and Lee were able to land some good snappers. We also saw a few eagle rays cruising in the shallows including an infant which was a rare sight. It was a great day's fishing, considering the hard work we had to put in. Hope to have another awesome session soon.

    😂 bro you we're fishing like your life depended on it. Just curious, why were you concerned about the snapper croaking (i think you said bara trauma or something) ive had snaps make that noise too.
