Fishing Reports
good weather finally arrives
bluefin tuna
Down westport way there have been half a dozen bluefin from 130 to 250kg's caught out in the hokitika trench on rod and reel lately. the hoki boats have turned up and there are longliners shooting droppers for swords and bluefin. There is a fair bit on interest with quite a few boats from more northern locations going down for a crack.
Closer to home (for us) there have been reports of hoki boats fishing the cook strait canyon over the last week. I wouldn't mind betting there are some bluefin and broadies out there too.
