   The Couple Who Built a Life Around Fishing | Frank & Jane (Beyond the Coast)

   Frank and Jane are the couple behind Beyond the Coast, a YouTube channel built around fishing, camping and exploring their own backyard. They've turned that into a lifestyle a lot of us would love to have. Frank grew up on the Coromandel and started fishing at about five years old alongside his mum Julie, a well-known rock-fishing legend in the area. His stepdad, still a great fisherman today, was big into straylining, so Frank spent his childhood baiting and burleying off the rocks and out on the boat. A move to Australia and city life took him away from fishing for a while. Jane grew up on Sydney's Northern Beaches with a beach and surfing background rather than a fishing one. When the pair moved back to New Zealand about seven years ago and settled on the coast, Frank got straight back into it, and he picked up the soft-bait rods too. The content side started almost by accident. They'd planned to launch a channel together, but Covid hit. Jane is a nurse by trade and was working as an essential worker, while Frank, a self-employed builder and joiner, couldn't work. So Frank started his own channel solo, editing full-length videos on his phone. Once Jane could ease off work a few years later, they finally launched Beyond the Coast together. Neither of them comes from a tech, filming or editing background. Everything they know, they learned on YouTube. Recorded live at the NZ Boat Fish Dive Expo as part of the Daiwa Quick Casts, this one covers: • Frank's land-based method for big snapper: Google Maps scouting, swirly dirty days, homemade burley minced in a garden shredder, and big fresh baits •Their rock gear: Daiwa Freeswimmers, 40lb braid, a single 6/0 hook and no weight •Upgrading from a 4.95 to a 5.1m boat, and how it's changed their shallow-water snapper fishing in 3m of water •A tribute to Frank's late mum Julie, whose 18lb snapper landed her on the front cover of a fishing mag •Jane's honest advice for anyone wanting to start a fishing YouTube channel •The Samoa trip where their gear never made it onto the plane, and Frank's solo return mission chasing GTs Thanks to Daiwa NZ for making the Quick Casts happen.

   You Never Catch Anything on the Couch Matt Jurlina Lands a 250kg Bluefin with a UFC Heavyweight on the Rod

   A 5.8 metre trailer boat. A UFC heavyweight strapped into the harness. And a Pacific bluefin tuna that pulled the scales to 243kg bled, gutted and gilled. Matt Jurlina is a plumber, a Muriwai beach launcher and one of the Chums boys — a crew of mates who grew up rural and never stopped chasing fish together. He's also the bloke who'll tell you about the trips that went wrong: the $15,000 weekend, the four-hour swordfish lost at the leader, and ten big broadbill missions this season for zero fish. Then one dead-looking day off Cape Brett, with Brando "The Balkan Bear" Peričić on the rod, one live blue koheru changed everything. Matt walks us through the bite, three leader shots, the call to take the fish, and how it ended up feeding more than 100 people. We also get into his first marlin (no gaff, no gloves, no electronics, 128kg), why live baiting works from snapper to 250kg tuna, and the one word he wants you to take away: confidence.

   Cool People Doing Cool Shit — Scott Malcon, Daiwa NZ

   Scott Malcon has been in the NZ fishing industry his whole working life — Rebel Sport, Fish City, then Brittain Wynyard, where he went from sales rep to running the Daiwa brand in New Zealand for 16 years. His philosophy from day one: get cool people doing cool things. In this Quick Cast Scott covers growing up rowing out to Browns Bay reef with his dad, why shallow-water soft baiting on the Stabi at the Barrier is his happy place, a blue marlin near 300kg caught for an 80-plus year-old grandfather, and the day a 50-plus kilo kingfish came over the rail at White Island and went straight back. We also pick his brain on deep dropping — finding uncharted rocks, live jack mackerel for bait, drift set-up, electric reel choice — and how 60–70% of Daiwa's NZ rod range is built specifically for Kiwi anglers. Quick Casts are short, sharp sit-downs recorded live at the NZ Boat Fish Dive Expo in partnership with Daiwa NZ. Full-length Get The Net episodes are on the channel, Spotify and Apple Podcasts. 👤 GuestScott Malcon — Brand Manager, Daiwa New Zealand (Brittain Wynyard) - Daiwa NZ: https://www.daiwa.co.nz/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daiwa_nz/🌟 Links & Socials - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@getthenet_nz - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1824558692✅ Follow Us - Instagram: @getthenet_nz - TikTok: @getthenet_nz - Facebook: @getthenet_nz (0:00) Cool people doing cool things(5:00) Fish of a lifetime — soft bait tip, 300kg blue marlin, 50kg kingfish released(10:00) Deep dropping 101 — uncharted rocks, live bait, setting the drift(15:00) Electric reels, circle hooks and the Daiwa story(20:00) Built for New Zealand — Kiwi-spec rods and Scott's dream fish #GetTheNet #NZFishing #DaiwaNZ🎵 Music: Proctor (Topher Mohr & Alex Elena) | Satellites (Swello) | Momentum (Zplit) | Source — YouTube Audio Library 🎥 Shot on Sony A7iii + Sennheiser Mics | Edited in Adobe Premiere Pro | Shot, Edited & Produced by Nick HoyleRecorded live at the NZ Boat Fish Dive Expo in partnership with Daiwa NZ.
