Big Plans! Not So Big Results - Adder Rock Fishing Comp 2018

RoKKiT KiT

Grab a T-Shirt at the new site! - www.rokkitkit.com.au Time again for the biggest and best offshore kayak fishing competition of the year! The Adder Rock Kayak Fishing Tournament is one I always look forward to, a chance to catch up with all the guys and fish North Stradbroke Island! As usual it proved to be my kryptonite every year for the last 6 comps I have struggled to catch and this year was no different. Was tough fishing over the comp days.. luckily I brought the skiff as a back up plan and got a last minute trip in that produced a small but quality fish that saved the day. The whole weekend was a blast though and a rare chance to go fishing for a few days so I can't beat about that!

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

How do you like the HS?

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Yea Im likening it a lot. I need to put it though its pacers more casting wise but it performed well even on a big king from the rocks on the New Zealand trip no problems.

Ahmed A - 6 years ago

Rod, you're killing me man with those sabiki rigs on a regular rod. Get yourself a rovex "sabiki rod" from Anglers Warehouse. I got one ages ago and put an older baitcaster I had on it. That was one of the best things I've ever bought! No more hooks in hands and feet! Love your channel, and that skiff is bloody awesome too!

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Haha, You know I actually have a sabiki rod in the garage! I just got sick of replacing the bait caster as it would get so much saltwater on it in the kayak, so stoped using it :) You would have loved day one of the comp, I got 2 hooks all the way though on my leg :) Love it!

Mark Smith - 6 years ago

What's your nationality? Japanese mix? When i started watching your videos a month ago or so i thought you were like 20 years old until i actually saw your face in one of your vlog videos. I love your vlogs

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Haha yep not so young these days! even getting grey sideburns now... My Mother is Chinese and my Father is Italian so i'm all over the shop :)

Retz - 6 years ago

12:00 That's a 'Butterfish (Pentapodus vitta)', great eating if you catch enough big ones.

jezza79 - 6 years ago

great vid, been looking forward to this one and you put it together beautifully as always. it was good to meet you on the barge and beach. unreal!

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Thanks mate, good to meet you to.. hope your getting out on that beast of a boat!

Kesniel Galvan - 6 years ago

What boat is that at 9 mins in?
Looks like a nice little unit

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Yep Stealth Powerfisha

B.Roberts - 6 years ago

that first bait you threw back would be as good as any other!…its probably would have won the comp!.

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Couldn't

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Ha, I consent catch anything no matter what baits I tried :)

Peter57808 - 6 years ago

Excellent stuff!

Mean vid once again!

Connor Navarro - 6 years ago

Hey mate just wondering what offshore rod and reel setups are you running?

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Yep as Hazza said check out the arsenal vid if your keen. I also have some info in the descriptions too.

Hazza Turk - 6 years ago

There is a arsenal video that he posted not that long ago that shows what he uses.

Supaflie Kayak Fishing - 6 years ago

Good seeing you over there Rod. Great comp, thanks for all your work!

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Cheers mate, yep I will have to look into it... its pretty classy at the drive thru like this though :)

MrCods - 6 years ago

Always a pleasure watching your videos Rod.

The Carnster - 6 years ago

Always good to blood the new craft.

The Carnster - 6 years ago

Yep that thing def has the speed required. 12 to 14 knots halco 190's, 2m bib and a skirt in close up the guts will do the damage I reckon.

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Bring on the hi speed trolled wahoo!!!

Owen Gray- Kayak Fishing - 6 years ago

No Sprocket collab?! disappointed!!!

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

haha, it will happen :) big colab!!!

Gerard Macorvick - 6 years ago

Woke up and straight away dive into your video mate. Pretty big turnouts this year eh mate? Who won this time around? What the biggest catch? Pretty awesome skiff buddy. I be getting a t shirt soon and you always have my support buddy all the way. Cheers.

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Thank mate, Ido from the sunny coast team won the top spot this year. He caught 2 Spanish mackerel and a few reef fish. There was a top snapper caught this year which was probably the best fish of the comp it went 89cm!

lee male - 6 years ago

I need to buy me a sealth yak

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

No better offshore yak if your dealing with surf!

Firstdue Outdoors - 6 years ago

Very cool stuff, cool skiff too? Be cool to see how you rig a sounder in the skiff. Good stuff always and yeah a perfect size yellowfin!

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Yep will put a sounder on soon

Umair Ahmed - 6 years ago

Awesome bro. Some nice catches right there

Scott Brownson - 6 years ago

really liking your videos. I think your in a niche. I hope hobie sends you a yak soon.

Alisha - 6 years ago

They can go through the surf. I have been to this comp for 6 years, for the 5 years I took a Hobie Revo 13 and it had issues going through the surf but you can do it. Heck, I did it the first year in 40 knot winds, 2.9m swell. Now I got a stealth which is better but hey.. the person who came second in this comp was on a Hobie and prob the hardest one to get out through the surf "Hobie AI with 1 outrigger". So they do suit surf launches just not as well as a stealth.

Scott Brownson - 6 years ago

I'm not a kayaker. I just know the name and have heard lots of kayak youtubers rave over them. Figured they were the best.

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Thanks mate!

Cpt. Gingerbeard Kayak Fishing - 6 years ago

Mike Follmer - 6 years ago

I had my motor drop into gear while starting the motor and it took off. Luckily the kill cord cut the motor. Just sharing my shame to help others hopefully. Cheers bro!

mungbean84 - 6 years ago

No motor band on a kayak so reckon he would be right on the launch.

OzWoz - 6 years ago

lee male its not if your dead

lee male - 6 years ago

RoKKiT KiT it's ok to live a little dangerous adds more excitement

RoKKiT KiT - 6 years ago

Im wearing it, I just got a little distracted during launch... will be sure to use it a bit better in the future
