Fishing Reports

 

Fishing over the last week or so has been severely limited by the weather, but the few reports available indicate little has changed, with plenty of good fishing for those brave enough to tackle the elements. The few boats left cruising the coast are still catching the odd marlin, with plenty of skippies in close, and good looking blue water out beyond the 200M line. Excellent snapper fishing results are reported right through from Cape Brett to North Cape, though our own trips have been restricted to the Bay, where clients have been catching some good feeds around the 50m mark. Rock Hoppers have been catching good snapper along the Eastern side of the Russell peninsula, and the more adventurous souls fishing around the Lion Rock area, north of the Nine Pin report some good kingie action as well. Hopefully the weather will clear quickly after the current Sou'wester, and the next report will contain a bit more information. As always, drop me an email at MAJOR.TOM@xtra.co.nz if you have any queries, and those of you who have my website bookmarked should change the address to http://www.majortom.co.nz
