Hey there Fishos... I'll try and give you a daily report on the action out here on the coast just south of Cape Brett...... Here's the first
great day and the mOON'S FULL... Maui dropped off some tax... good man
This was in good condition but had an empty gut... Maui's boat is called the Queen Mary ... it's bigger than his 6ft cockle shell.... and he can stand up and walk around in this one... good on you Maui. Fish weighed 5.6kgs gutted...all this happened while  I was pouring concrete.... great stuffCoolSB

Hi there fishos... with a brisk westerly cranking overhead it's goint to be a bit rugged off shore but in close you should be OK.... Catchelot, you are right everyone had good catches out here... there were a few boats out and also a gaggle of yakayaka fishos out here as well. ... Cover charge went out for a dive on Danger rock and speared a kingi so they are on the hunt..... we had the friendlies right in close to the beach... about 20 - 30 m off shore chasing the bait fish.... summer is on the way.. waving SBHug

A bit of a late report from last week, just picked up my camera yesterday.

The day was alsum with the sun hitting the skyline we were going to have a mint day



Fished a spot were SB had told us about, we did quite well with Snappers, Kahawai & Trevs.



We picked up a diver late in the afternoon, he had a good look around, we ended up with a copy of bugs.



And last but lest smoking the catch........alsum day out



Its not about the size of your boat! "But how you use it

UnhappyBloody Easterlies.... every second day we seem to have easterlies not good for the fishing conditions.... but hey it should bring the fish in... it looks as though the weekend should see the conditions ease a little..... the scollies are few a far between... that's free diving though. Surf will be mean at Elliots or down at Pare's @  Mimiwhangata... good to meet up with some of the Fishnet members... good luck people and keep the bait fresh... waving SBHug

Confused Good morning fishos... well buggar me... I get up this morning and she's a howling NNE coming in at around 25knts... looking at the horizon there's a good sized swell runniing down the coast..... so that means you've got to be keen to go out today.... I hear that some of the fellas are up the harbour netting mullet.... maybe that's the go.... I'm sure as hell not going outside in the Admirals 12' ter today... she's a bit soupy for that.... any LB boys.... you have to pick your headland so that you can cast  effectively with the wind.... I suggest down off Cape Home or the Rimarikis.... the haystack will even work today... catch you all later... waving SB
