🔥⛺ Matua Sahn out there with the kuzzies Bush, Luke and Manaia*
*Camping in Tūhoe* 🌿

We managed to get a *spiker* 👊 but let’s highlight our *campsite* —
Nothing flash, warm, and we’ve got the *best company*.

*Camp fire on*, hot cuppa *tea "coffee"* in hand, and setting up for the day.
Kai, whānau, ngahere. Can’t ask for more than that 🙏

Respect the whenua and look after each other team.

😅🎣 Just wanted to say *these whitebait waders are OFF THE HOOK* 🔥
I *love them* — they’re different to the rest.

You can get them from Last Cast Bait & Tackle NZ
*107 Southampton Street West, Hastings* 👊

*Why they’re the best:*
- *Fit well* and comfortable all day
- *Breathe nicely* — no heat, no sweat
- *Big size boots* for grip in the mud
- *Easy, efficient and effective* for prepping your whitebait stand

Get down there *ASAP* and get your waders sorted.

*Don’t forget* they also have *huge whitebait set nets for sale*.
*Hit up Jono* for your new gear team!

*Question for you:*
Do you go waitbaiting in a wetsuit or str8 waders 👇

Just wanted to say to everyone, thanks for sharing the rules and regulations as we learn how to waitbait properly, As you share the rules we can adjust and make sure we do tbings correctly.

42 and just getting started eh.

You said it — as you age you slow down, you cut the noise, you stress less and *you live more*.
*Hunt. Fish. Dive. Gather.*
*Ride Harley Davidson motorbikes. 4x4 in the mud. Shoot guns. Play golf. Work out. Enjoy life.*
That’s the blueprint right there. Time to do what makes YOU happy 💪

Alpha of the pack. Never settle for 2nd. Gather for your people. Live for the moana, the road, and the good mahi.

And to all your followers — he sees you ❤️
_“Without you my followers I am just me, but with you all by my side I have a village behind me.”_ That village is loud today bro.

*Question for the village:*
*Drop Matua Sahn some birthday aroha and tell him what adventure you want to see him smash next* 👇

Happy birthday bro. Here’s to more kai, more rides, more mud, and more living on YOUR terms.

*Fish off, or dive on? What’s your winter backup plan when the bite’s dead?* Drop it below 👇

🎣➡️🤿 Matua Sahn out there fishing* and the big ones aren’t playing today — it’s winter eh 😅
So what do we do? *We go for a dive.*

Because at least you’re guaranteed a feed 👊
*Kina, pāua, and a crayfish on the menu* 🦪🦞
Awatoto was not giving us any fish so a quick trip to Pourerere got em!

Thanks *Tangaroa*, you’re the god! 🙏
Respect to the moana for always providing when the rods go quiet.

😅🎣 *Whitebait season 2026 — September 2nd*
Man, it was a *hard few hours today*.
Finished a *12 hour shift* and headed straight to the river for a whitebait 👊
Got down there about *10am* and had the net in for *4 hours*...

Had no luck at all 😂 Well... I counted *4 whitebait* hahaha!

That’s 4 more than yesterday eh team.
*Better luck tomorrow team — wish me luck* 🙏

The river owes us one. We’ll be back.

*Question for you:*

Question for you:*
*Bush smoker trout or hot smoker at home — which one wins for you?* Drop your pick below 👇

🔥🐟 *In the wild Tūhoe where our children run free* 🌿

Cought some *fresh trout* from the river,
Made a *bush smoker* right there,
And the kids *smashed it all back*.

*Eating like kings* 👑 That’s how we do it.

Simple kai, good company, and the ngahere looking after us.
Respect the awa and the land that feeds us 🙏

Sending love to my Tūhoe family
