Did the Hen n Chix yesterday. Few crays around in the shallows which was nice. Came across a spot at one of the chicks that had some honking current and truckloads of bait off one of the points, so decided this was our place to look for a king. Jumped in and seconds later there were blankets of kohi's and macks around us. Surrounded. Few seconds later, had a school of big solid looking trevs' come through, which didn't hang round, was going to take one, but thought, Murphys Law, take that shot and something bigger follows...then literally after they had gone out of sight, had two kings roll on through, one EST 25kg maybe even plus, and a smaller Model of around 15... As luck would have it, first time ever had equalising problems due to being sick earlier In the week, was 2 meters out of range at the closest,  and due to the sinus pressure, had to pull out. Left to fight another day.
No decent snaps seen, found a few legal paua, shot some Kohis, a Porae, few crays, mix bag but no Kingfish to stuff the smoker with.

Think I need gun upgrade to take on that big one. Sceptical my 110 with one 16mm band would have punched through it.

Hey has anyone got any recent vis reports from around leigh sort of areas?

burlies working well then?

Yeah good times out with matt yesterday, a real eye opener as to how good the diving is so close to home!

Dived destruction gully today, thought things might be better on the Manukau with the easterlies. 3 - 4m vis and loads of fish and paua around, looks pretty much untouched down there. Lugging all my gear back up the track nearly killed me though

how long did that walk take you with all your gear JD?

nice one JD

How long were you in the water JD? Struggle with currents at all?

Started calming a bit in Army bay this morning if that is any help. Sounded like north beach durban from my deck last night.
