    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/member_profile.asp?PF=48808">Espresso</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 12283<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 03 Feb 2012 at 11:07am<br /><br />Sure was a typical January alright what with snapper right Downtown feeding, yet out in the wide open gulf, lots of combatants lurking, but a cease fire is being adhered to most of the time. Still that doesn't stop Amatuer and I trying to start our own little battles out there - ever the optimists.<br><br>Metservice was 24hrs out with its forecast - so instead of flat calm fields of fire, we got the chop. Lumpy and bumpy sea and those oh-so-tentative bites that rarely result in a hookup, well testing our wits and presentation.<br><br>So many mackerel are around again (same as last year looking back). And since word on the street has it that the macks have been doing OK in terms of livebait - a few were brought aboard for some live firing. So while we worked the various baitfish imitations from the tiniest of Gulp grubs to the Catch Anchovy, along with metallica like the blue Jitterbug, it really seemed to come down to how we could slowly entice a strike with a tentative retrieve up from the sea floor. We threw down the entire gambit of weapons.<br><br>Tough fishing on the softies so a nervous mackerel or two were randomly volunteered and sent out on recon'. Neither were to make it back. <br><br><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a228/Fissi&#111;nBrain/variousslowday030.jpg" height="375" width="500" border="0" /><br><br>The first livie was all perked up and twitchy-as 40m below, but the predatory antagonist won a free feed. Another livie was given a good trim, doing the funky butterfly...this was enough to get a grunty fat kingie to succumb to temptation. Great fight on the spin gear <img src="http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><br><br><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a228/Fissi&#111;nBrain/variousslowday046.jpg" height="400" width="500" border="0" /><br><br>Gulf conditions below average to head out wider, so we headed in to try our luck out of the wind in the Motuhie. Alas the morning bite was over and with wind against tide it was time to head home with just a few pan-snapper.<br><br>Good to see my new GPS works well, the last one was killed in action and has been laid to rest along with all its secrets.<br><br><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a228/Fissi&#111;nBrain/variousslowday008.jpg" height="164" width="320" border="0" /><br><br>In close still the place to be!<br><br>]]>

Oh and chasing workups just aint a happening thing guys...but when they do it's going to go BOOM!<br><br><br>]]>

Motuhie channel is more like Queen Street.<br><br>Funny, while I am enjoying a lot more time out on the water hunting down fish with Wavedancer, I spend less time actually fishing on the coffee machine myself, oh well not all bad&nbsp;<img src="http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big smile" title="Big smile" /><br>So just enough time for a quick little evening session, wary fish though due to the lack of tide running while Andy and I out for just an hour to grab a few freshies for dinner. <br>Inner city shallows, 1 and 2oz weights, the little Green Anchovy and snapper on the charge <img src="http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" alt="Thumbs Up" title="Thumbs Up" /> - man do they fight hard! <br><br>Using heavier than expected weights (3oz Jolly Roger in 12m of water) were producing some good sized fish of 50cm when the tide was really cranking.<br><br><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a228/Fissi&#111;nBrain/AndyHohepa014.jpg" height="400" width="500" border="0" /><br><br>From one extreme to the other&nbsp; <img src="http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />&nbsp; - off to Great Barrier early tomorrow for a quick day trip, should be fun and it'll be interesting to see what's happening in the outer gulf..<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><img src="http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big smile" title="Big smile" />]]>

Sounder chokka with snapper sign, and baitfish - but very challenging to get any bite from them...testing indeed. <br>While the inner channels are firing at various times of day, with many many boats around, Amateur and felt like a quiet drift in the deeper H2O, after a 27lb snapper coming aboard my Wavedancer trip during the week, why not start at spot x? <br>A peaceful Christmas day, driftin', fishin'...sweet. Really tentative bites, we had to try everything, which we did over several hours of contentment out there. Smaller, lighter presentations were the better ones. Some monster blitzed me and it felt like another true biggie, oh well. <br><br>Amateur consistantly hooking fish, slow and steady wins the race they say and a nice bin of 11 fine snapper presents were kept just north of Tiri, even with the tax man deciding to get in on the action, no wonder things were a bit nervous down there!<br><br><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a228/Fissi&#111;nBrain/008-1.jpg" height="639" width="345" border="0" /><br><br><br>Cool day cheers Ian <img src="http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" alt="Thumbs Up" title="Thumbs Up" /><br><br>]]>

To drift near motionless and catch lots of big fish, with one of those whales nearby and all would be Zen...<br><br>Z-plan worked <img src="http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big smile" title="Big smile" /><br><br>Our whale for a day let us play, stayed with us for hours, circling slowly and effortlessly, spouting and generally keeping very close company...<br><br><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a228/Fissi&#111;nBrain/Kings032.jpg" height="90" width="394" border="0" /><br><br>The fishing was SUPERB! Big snapper keen-as, even sent down one of these lures, which a hefty snapper took a liking to - but gave up his scallop lunch to gain his freedom, good on ya mate.<br><br><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a228/Fissi&#111;nBrain/Kings037.jpg" height="297" width="244" border="0" /><br><br>The fishing was picture postcard yesterday, virtually every drop a big snapper for Amateur, most fish between 50 and 62cms, nice. Happy chappys hookin' up in perfect conditions for hours...<br><br><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a228/Fissi&#111;nBrain/Kings048.jpg" height="282" width="600" border="0" /><br><br>Mine was a kingie day - there were large schools of them flashing through the centre of the whale's circular area, so a fast retrieve of a Catch Piper was the order - and whammo! A long, tough and exciting battle with everything tested to the limit (yeah conditions were good)...<br><br><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a228/Fissi&#111;nBrain/Kings013.jpg" height="350" width="544" border="0" /><br><br>...meanwhile Amatuer was filling the big bin with double digit snapper<br><br>and finally after half an hour of endurance and patience...<br><br><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a228/Fissi&#111;nBrain/Kings027.jpg" height="452" width="280" border="0" /><br><br>Reward on the 6lb line <img src="http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> <br><br>We rustled up more kingfish and snapper and could have kept catching king after king and snapper after snapper - Amatuer sliding a 60cm snapper back all healthy was a sure sign of all being well with the world. We slid home on the mirror finish and put some fat fillets into the special smoking-fish marinade.<br><br>A whale of a time alright.<br>]]>

I turn all sounders and radios off before I get to a whale workup (ww) as whales feed using their&nbsp; eyesight and sound and I want to encourage not stop this, slowing down and stopping away from them up drift. Several boats zooming in and around, sounders on...the whale can leave straight away and even though most guys hookup, it's over soon and gawk around wondering why. One reason I prefer to be 'alone' with a whale <img src="http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /> - I've have been fishing with a whale for hours at times. Hopefully I'll get to literally whale ride this summer.<br>2. Gannets behave quite differently around a whale so I can sometimes spot that there is going to be a whale present from a long way away, sometimes even pick the right gannet body language as one flys by towards a distant whale<br>3. Whales use dolphins, and visa versa. Whales will hone in on dolphins feeding, dolphins bow-ride whales, its a mutual arrangement at times<br>4. Bigger snapper can hang with whales for quite some time, and will feed very close and up the water column much higher than normally.<br>5. I'll change colour and style of SP and rod/reel used when arriving at a ww<br><br>Just unloaded the smoker...oh the deliscious smells, nice big fat snapper from a ww...&nbsp; <img src="http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/smileys/smiley30.gif" border="0" alt="Pig" title="Pig" />out night with a cold one I reckon <img src="http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0" alt="Thumbs Up" title="Thumbs Up" /><br><br>]]>
