Sharkbait??  yep
 at the current temp be lucky if  get up

 nothing to do with luck
 Mark Twain
" luck is directly proportional to the effort put in."

Its the temp difference, not the actual temp...well thats what my logs indicate over many yrs.... taking data , logging ="effort"  doing so over many years , even more effort.

I tried to get Sunday rock to work for yrs , caught a couple KY there and on the edge of the park often boil up there..
 Flats work when the temps are  X degs above the temp outside the island by Y degrees going back over decade or so of logs.
 Best fishing bottom end is evening, come home in the dark, and when car parks are MT
 Also means best parking on busy days.. early birds come home as u hit the ramp, leaving their close parking for you.Wink

 Ther was a member here some yrs back , fish bottom end/ shollows on a regular basis...
 Help me Smudge..
Then moved up nth. wangroa ??
 Go back read his reports.. a huge mine of info over many many yrs....I learnt so much off him in a very short length time.
 A forum search on " air rifle/rabbits "may come up with him..

Friday is looking confusing
Metservice   Friday: Easterly 15 knots, rising to 20 knots for a time in the morning. Becoming northerly 10 knots in the afternoon and easing to variable 5 knots in the evening. 

Swellmap  nw 5 knts

Predict wind   se 8 knts

windyty 7 knt e

This is for The firth of Thames area,Thinking go to ramp around 6.00am and decide then

C/G now casting is a copy of metservice but their wind reports from various spots indicate lower range.The one my PH is set too is Passage rock.Constanly 7 knt e

So get out yesterday?

Wed..?  I posted right up at the top on mon
Wed looks light breeze under 5 knots, swell/ chop, mirror flat.

 Still the same for tomorrow. Chop and breeze picks up a little early hrs Thursday.

Looks like Chop and breeze picks up a little early hrs Thursday. is a few hrs out .. picking up early morning instead.
Not bad being 4 days out..couple hrs out.

Again looking at the bar window last weekend, Frid starts to look good... well a little better than predicted back then.. thu still not suitable for us and our size boat.. guys been heading out anyway.

 And Sat.. yep window still there, NNE wind picks up a little then drops.. Still all good
The rain comes in from the nth, out at the 400/500m mark  off shore a little earlier than predicted week ago, so maybe a shower around the time we head back to the bar from the 50/60m
Not a worry but watching anyway.

All on Met Ocean (swellmap) map tiles not charts.

Totally agree, I gave up on the charts...cant rem... doesnt matter
They cover a general area that I recon is far bigger than the individual map tiles, They updated not long back down to something like 1km sq (???)
What I recon they should and would be real cool.. for me Wink
If could put up say 4 maps, so can choose say.. wind, rain,swell, water temp at the same time then flick thru or choose the times altogether

There is a cool weather app .. I have messed with it and its really good...And guy who makes it is a kiwi in NZ.
Flowx
I have not looked at it in while, and I should do so, its been overdue. The dreaded.. "to do" list

I've totally given up with the SwellMap charts now. Have used Windy for a while now and it's pretty accurate, but liked the SwellMap charts for an overview of the next few days as easy to read. Just not accurate enough even for that.]]> Wed, 01 Dec 2021 18:33:50 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136246&PID=1819812&title=weather#1819812 <![CDATA[weather : Got a BiteAnd a good page on...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136246&PID=1819731&title=weather#1819731 Author: Steps

Got a BiteLOLAnd a good page on the subject! Steps 99% of the time your knowledge and stuff you know on any topics you post on here in my opinion we all learn something from it!

 Yep hook line and sinker m8
Some things I learnt at a very young age..
1/ always listen.. even to crap.. in there will be something to learn.
2/ one never stops learning.
3/ If someone says doesnt work, and think faintest possibility it MAY.. try it... usually turns out they say it because their grandfathers, uncles, cousins, brothers wife told them 30yrs ago.
