Bushkid - be good to catch up, good to see you getting a few down here, it's always good to see a bit of culling of the weak and sick ones out of the harbour - keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers Hermit

Hermit I've been pinching fish out of that area for the last 10 years and you only just complain about it now, you must be slow to miss the decreae or maybe I ain't been taking enough.

 will be down there soon so will pm you when I'm down that way.

Hey Bushkid,  Gezz if all you bluggars keep pinching my fish I'll have to stay home with the missus as she won't let me out if I don't catch anything!!!!

I've been getting a few there too after dark, but up on the bank out of the current in under 2 meters of water.  Actually going out again tomorrow night.

Be great to catch upand go out for a fish, our local bronzies need freash meat!!!!!!!!!

Cheers Hermit

Good to see you found the mud Magoo!!!!!!!  I try and stay away from the stuff if possible.  As you look out from the ramp, the mud extends up to the left and the further you go the deeper it gets.  An ol mate of mine used to commercially flounder up there and once he got " stuck!!!" with an incoming tide.  Just about lost his life he recons.  Re the vizz, your right it can be vertually zero, I only fish when there's been no wind for a few days.  Take ur yak and go across the channel and fish the hard sand on the harbour side of the mangrove island.  once the tides right in, have a go along the mangrove edge as the little buggars like it around there too.  One night soon, I'm going to "ducktape" my underwater light to the side of the Yak and drift along.  Bit like an air attack!!!!!!!!]]> Sat, 21 Jan 2006 09:49:21 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12516&PID=164259&title=floundering-in-tauranga-harbour#164259 <![CDATA[Floundering in Tauranga Harbour : Went out there t&#111;night Hermit,...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12516&PID=163966&title=floundering-in-tauranga-harbour#163966 Author: Magoo

Went out there tonight Hermit, water visibilty was about 6 inches...lol. Managed to get one of just legal size with poor visibilty.

Also managed to lose my home made flounder long line. Kayaked out a about 150m or so and set it, but when i went to retrieve it couldnt find my float (second time in a week I could have really done with my hand held GPS). Hopefully we will be ablle to retreive it tomorrow at low tide and see if my theory worked...lol.]]> Thu, 19 Jan 2006 23:44:55 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12516&PID=163966&title=floundering-in-tauranga-harbour#163966 <![CDATA[Floundering in Tauranga Harbour : Gid&#039;ay Magoo, Re the flounder...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12516&PID=163923&title=floundering-in-tauranga-harbour#163923 Author: Hermit

Go to Pahoia, on the way to Katikat,, there is a great little boatramp there, nice big public domain with loos, and a LOT of nice flounder flats just off the ramp, with extensive flats in the whole area to check out as well.

I have taken a LOT of flounder there in nets, so I am sure you could get into some with a spear.

Cheers, Su.
