Getting a feed during the day has been HARD work recently, and twice I have caught nothing at all. I have bagged a few kahawai at sunset but the bite doesn't seem to stay on long. |

For land based snapper at this time of year I'd be giving the entrance a go. There's recently been some good catches of gurnard from surf casting along Mt beach and Papamoa. |
