Had a gap in the weather mid morning so shot out off raumati beach shallow water stray lining. Shifted spots numerous times due to current and being a dogfish and carpet shark magnet......ended up in 3m water with tide almost at its lowest (opposite to what I prefer) ky turned up caught and released a bunch and managed one pannie snap, thought they had buggered off so that was good. Anyone else have much luck?

Popped out yesterday before the southerly came through... managed to get Sam to launch me so I could fly solo... bagged a few kingfish up to 17-20kg

Nice one rozboon - any particular rig you were using to avoid the undesirables and attract the carrots? Also anywhere in particular the kings are hanging out? I fish off pram/raumati beach and am restricted somewhat with how far I can head out as only have 3500 smartwave so could be out of my range....

Much appreciated Rozboon will try that strategy for the carrots undesirables namely spiny and carpets were bloody everywhere last wkd - don't think I will be heading out 13 km unfortunately until i upgrade! Has anyone pulled a king off the sand (targetted or not!) off raumati beach, pram or waik beach? I've caught a rat but haven't had a real crack with a livey etc assuming they are around when the baitfish are but probably not now and will be hanging around structure - thoughts appreciated

Went to Hunters Friday morning, just as we arrived everyone already there was smashing it on the kingfish but I think maybe the tide was changing as it went very dead for all of us; huge numbers of Kahawai and plenty of coutta around too. Often couldn't get a jig to the bottom as it would just get picked up by a Kahawai.

guys, it is with great sadness to let you all know that Sean, 'Whippa' passed away peacefully on Tuesday. Sean fought bowel cancer with everything thing he had. The pain he endured was immense and after all the ops, procedures and infections, he finally let go. He leaves behind a wonderful wife and two young kids.  we laid him to rest yesterday at Whenua Tapu. Tight lines always Sean, your strength lives on. Pic taken March 2016, Taranaki.

What a huge loss for the world. One of lifes really good guys. Some great adventures shared, and good laughs had. Gonna miss you Sean.

bugger.... sad to see young guys go out like that....  actually its sad to see anyone go out like that.
