S8E7 OKAPRARU REEF

A thousands casts are required, but Milan knows the fish are there and his hard work pays off.

Milan has an early start to pick up the live baits on his way out to Okapraru Reef to chase some kings. 

At the pylons in Tauranga Port, Milan finds himself a honey pot of livies and something bigger. He loads up on some fat live baits but only achieves to entertain the port crew in the chase for the king.

Out at the reef, Milan walks through the steps of how to set up for drifting an underwater structure and eventually how to stay in the boat when the big ones show up!
