Caught yesterdays/ todays window
We stop and set up.. rig rods, roll back clears , set up burley pot etc.. over one of several pre marked bits of foul a kim or so out from the ramp.
Suprising as was on mid dropping tide, friends girlfriend, 1st ever fish a nice 43 cm snap. Then followed by another couple good high 30s.
Thats the basic "every family has a feed done." So rest of the day bonus/ smoker.
Headed up thru Waiheke channel, a few terns working and a huge area of small kys ... picked up a few as live baits casting Sbs around the boat. And another low 40s snap off the bottom.
Drifted a favourite shallow , again adding a few nice pannies and a nice 54 cm
The headed out around shag rock with a few more long drifts over and around reefs after tide turned. Slow retrieve of snaps so would not bloat them up, light gear, and since bin getting full, dropped a few smaller fish back, keeping the larger 30s.
Then last long drift, current getting up, was a fish every bait drop and sbs doing 1/2 as well. Lot under sized.
Headed home with 16 good fish in the bin, no sign of any kings.
Some nice swells coming into the gulf from the NE with huge periods.. lot of force in these when hit the shore.
