Interesting to hear you used a setline I have never tried mine on the Kaipara but it would be handy on days when I take the kids for a picnic at the lagoon or wanted to do a bit of scallop dredging,do you have problems getting sharked how do you get on with the strong currents huge anchors? Some pretty honest trip reports lately showing the fickle Kaipara is not really firing at the moment, going back on my own records from this time last year it's a bit harder but as soon as the water temp rises a few degrees it will be all on again catching snapper that are warm to touch until then enjoy our winter friends the gurnard . |

We have observed the oyster barge seems to operate at all times of the tide & even tho it may well have a very shallow draft it still has a couple of decent size outboards that must require a fair amount of draft. When we tried charting a similar course at approx. half tide encountered depths a bit under a metre so reasoned at the rate it was dropping, did not have a lot of time before we would have run aground. Any advice or opinions appreciated. |
