Geoff Stone got his first Skippy today inside 200m the water is looking good.

Yellow fin lost between Mumu and the Brett 200m line.

weather is starting to build now so we are in for a bit of a pasting over the next few days to a week.

Apparently Warren McIntyre on Senator hooked up to what he suspects was a Yellowfin in rough conditions on the way up from Whangarei. Warren has a huge amount of experience and wouldnt have called it for a fin unless he was pretty certain. Plenty of boats out for a look today.

well was out yesterday water was 20* blue as can be and clean with the odd jelly belly
 
got some very nice skippies, saw sun fish, flying fish and saw my 1st marlin this season, have caught a few so tend to know what they look like.
 
word is the place is also heaving with sharks of all sorts and sizes which is a good thing and a right prik if your using baits, I can see with the amount about many will be towing lures to avoid them.
 
out again this weekend soley to tow a lure or two so fingers crossed.
