I'm really just trying to beat Lethal for the latest at night posting. By 10:30 I had 3 nice kahawai in my bin all on my own flies. I tried bait (yellow eye mullet) and within 10 minutes I had another so I tried a smallish yellowtail ... an hour later I stuck on another yellow eye mullet and left the rod alone while I tried the flies again. I caught two more fish around the 4 lb mark. While I was cleaning the fish the set rod took off with what was easily the fish of the night .. looked 5lb plus ... it pulled out a good 40 metres of line on about a kilo of drag but it kept heading for cover and eventually wrapped around a pole and busted me off ... oh well...

Certainly nothing tonight that would win a kahawai contest but 6 good fish all filleted or ready for the smoker isnt too bad for a night aye.

It was soooo cold ....... why do I do it???

Hi smudge, I've never fished with flies at night, sounds productive, are you fishing from the shore or boat?

Yes very nice for the smoker.

I'll take you in The kahawai King if you take us for a fish up north.

Good to hear form you slurry.

Good old home brew aye, I keep a few bottles on the hop, that way if you dont get any fish you can always eat the bait after a few beers...... just kidding!

Still trying to find a good consistent trev spot out there..... but it is hard to go past the winter gurnard.... I try to steer away from kahawai in the daytime as I can get my fill at night.
