Fishing Reports

3rd December

Location & Conditions:
Perfect conditions. South of Kawau

Baits, methods and results
Drifting in the current line with baits and softbaits - average results
We anchored , berlied up in the incoming current line - wind and tide were in sync and caught gurnard, slimy mackrel, nice snapper, kahawai and trevally

Notes
We encourage all visitors on our boat to bring along chilly bins. We supply all the salt ice for the trips as it's important to keep the fish chilled down on hot days as fish get poached within half an hour or so and are in no condition to eat.
