There are good numbers of gurnard around in Evans Bay and on the south coast. A 20lb snapper was caught off the Plimmerton Boating Club wharf recently and a couple of nice moki were caught off the south coast. It should be snapper time from Kapiti northwards, as soon as the water cleans up a bit. Trevally have been caught in Palliser Bay and off Seatoun wharf as well.
There are good snapper out west, with nice warehou, kingfish, trevally and gurnard sometimes around in food numbers. It’s off season for ‘puka but there's still bass and bluenose around at the trench. Inshore fishing the south has been a mixed bag of snapper, tarakihi, blue cod and trevally, with gurnard around as well. Harbour fishing has been full on for gurnard, and we’ve seen some large blue cod near the entrance along with trevs. Pretty soon the first numbers of snapper and kingi should move in.
October also sees the arrival of blue moki and hāpuku in our waters post spawning. Whitebait have been running well at most river mouths around the district.
