I want to point out again for fishing the Westcoast in Summer the big
fish that are still around after spawning are in close. I was in ten
meters. Dozens of bigger boats chose the 40-50 meter mark like most
Westcoast Fisho's do and struggled like every other year but they still
carry on doing it?
That is interesting..
Different part of the coast, and only been fishing it regular for 4 or 5yrs now...and keep a log of where when , tide date position etc where catch fish.
Last week the gurus said along the lines go
"50/60 m then work way back home this time of yr..."
My logs said Jan ..start at the feet and have full bin and can head home early, good fish, KY and snaps in the 50 to 70 cm range at the mid 30s m
. Its not jan yet, but the tides right and the water surface temps are up there..
So thats what we did...binned up just as the logs said , and headed home an hr early (to catch safe the bar /tide)
And the guys who went wide.. chassing bill fish all day, and a general fish, dropped lines out at the 50/60..slow to say the least... called me asking where I had been so they could get a good feed on the way home..
"30/34m" on sounder top of the tide." Which put us only 7/8km off the coast
rather than the 16/18km
.
Also found similar when fished the east coast/ Furth for many yrs...we would fish the 2 to 20.. mostly the more shallow end of that.. and those who went wide didnt do as well most times, unless hit the channel islands
.
It was the kayak guys that made use 'tweak ' to that
early on.
And all the best for the new year to you as well.
let those big fish dreams come True!!
Yep.. dreams are made by homework, not luck.
