Easy to explain what you're fishing for. No by catch so I would expect a positive result for the angler]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=102009">Mc Tool</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 78093<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 20 May 2026 at 1:27pm<br /><br /><img src="https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/uploads/102009/10000003777678.jpg" border="0" /><br />I think these are called limerick hooks ,I got them in a bunch of stuff I got off an old guy who had given up fishing ,'parently they are good for flounders ....not sure why.<br />I had an interesting discussion  on the estuary  riverbank with a fish and game ranger re the needing a fishing license seeing as how I was using a method "likely to catch a sports fish " as per the schedule in the sports fishing regs . I won on the grounds that any one fishing for flounder in an estuary didnt need a license and thusly would not read said schedule ,and also because I pointed out that if one was to accidently catch a trout one would simply return it asap as one would with a trout that didnt meet size requirements or a salmon caught accidently out of season ,or a trout caught in a whitebaiting net. I dont think my argument would hold up if I wasnt in a tidal zone .......or didnt have 3 flounders and no trout. <br />Worth thinking about tho 🙂]]>

Keith C will be able to post more as my fishing buddy, but I can tell you that I did catch a reasonable flounder in the Waitara estuary over Easter using corn kernel bait on a very small 3gm jighead. ]]>

Really need to daywalk an area first to check out the mud depth as it can be very unfun if you get stuck in soft mud up to your thighs at night.otherwise the only diff is night time you use a torch and the light makes them freeze.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Kayaking around in clear water just a little&nbsp;too deep to spear them and casting a bait in front of them is something i have considered but not done yet.</div><div>&nbsp; Next time i might see how those uncooked prawns at countdown go cut into smaller pieces,they look like a small grub.( How to explain to any&nbsp;ranger&nbsp;im not targeting trout may not go to well though,can imagine their faces when i try to expalin im after flounder.)</div>]]>
