Hard work today out there. Came home with a decent feed of snapper though.
There were a lot of boats way out over the middle ground and a few in the shallow water by the back of Pakatoa. omebody asked over the radio if anybody had a good supply of fish but there was only negative answers. Most had the same as us with a few here 'n' there.
Moved around a bit and eventuaklly caught most of the 3lb fish from the mussel farm in by Waiheke after dusk!
May as well gone there in the morning.
But what a day. my companion was tickled pink to have such a good day off work!
Most surprising catch was a huge squid over 350mm long that came riding up on a sinker, not even hooked, some quick work with the landing net got it on board.
Should be a good weekend.
