Every school holidays we try and get up to Tauranga Bay for a week. Just got back today. Fishing was not too bad. Not heaps numbers wise but good sized fish caught. I'm still getting my head around fishing off a boat as most of my experience up there has been fishing off a Kayak. I never seem to have much joy fishing with bait and berley, usually I tend to drift and cast softbaits. These were caught on softys with the Kingy jumping on a lure I had dangling out the back  My son Oliver is starting to get the hang of it. He brought this up all by himself.  I got this guy a few minutes later. caught on a hard lure in 30 metres.  You can really see them but theres a whole lot of goats on the beach. Looked like they were sunbathing.   I cant wait to get back up to the Far North again. Got a few ideas for next time. Chur

Was at taupo bay with my boy for 6days fishing.Was a wee bit hard but we to did a lot of drifting .Got onto the gurnard with softies a few times on the sand ,which was real fun . Did you stay close to tauranga bay ?Good kids comp at whangaroa around 6th jan if you are up there ,by the looks of it the podium is a good chance .
