Against = berley pot lost to huge shark Buddy over from Aus so have planned a trip out this morning despite rain forecast until about 10am hpwever wind at about 5 knts is a bonus. Can't last forever but hoping today will be as productive as it has proven to be of late. Watch this space for report be it good or bad. |

TommyT wrote: Sorry for the late reply Baz completely missed your post. The day finished well. Took home 14 Snapper (forgot we could take 20) but that was plenty anyway. All of good size over 40cm and biggest just over 60. 3 really nice gurnard as well. Mr Muchie paid us a visit as well but luckily didn't hang around or cause us to much grief. We were a couple of K's Nth east of the green pole in about 8mtrs. No weed at all there must all float down your side. Thanks for the invite. Yep I'd be very keen to come out sometime. Prob not going to have time this side of xmas but will be in touch early in the NY for sure.

Transformations wrote: Hi Bazza, did exactly what Tommy suggested. North of Rakino/Noises in around 33m. Fairley slow day....well, compared to the Kaipara at least. I got a respectable limit snaps kept from 40 to 52. Lures produced only small fish, best results were with straylined big baits with no weight and best fish were picking it up half water Seems the workups were not on the menu today but still saw lots of bait on the sounder. Water is a tad over 16 deg...all the bigger snaps are fat and deep red. Good looking fish. Still curious as to whether the Kaipara has shut down or if its just Enrico๐๐๐ Looks like a beaut day tomorrow, tight lines and enjoy. |
Transformations wrote: Where to now indeed Bazza? As I am relatively new to the Kaipara I am inclined to persist with it. I still have so much exploring to do and really enjoy the wildness and solitude it can bring and as you pointed out the ratio of tiddlers can be seriously off putting on the gulf. When a spot on the Kaipara fires you know its going to be good. I am going to work on the principle that the fish will be hanging in the deep to do their spawning but will come into the shallows for a feed on things that dont swim fast. Next weather/work gap I'm going to test that out๐. Also keen to get some oysters... any on the southern side you know of? |
