Nice one Krow,  I was out of cell range for most of the last few days and I think I missed a call from you.

I worked the back of the knights Monday - 160 - 180m and there was lots of bait at 30m and im picking they were Albies. yesterday I worked 147 - 180m off home point and once again there were good bait schools and Skippies were picked  up every 1/3 hours or so.  Lots of whales and heaps of big Manta Rays and Sunfish.

The word I have is that th good water is being carried back out for a bit which maybe is a reaction to the big mass of good water coming in through Whangaroa and into the B.O.I. From there I have been advised that we should expect to see this then once again poke its way back into Toots and as such some good fishing again.
 
Time will tell, but it is certainly a little quiet up there at present hence me coming back early.  Subject to weather I may pop back up beginning of next week.  Ill be up over the weekend anyway fixing bits and pieces.  Amazing how long the list of things to do gets once you actually start spending some time on board  ! ! !Wink

Nice to catch up Wayne, bloody hot day down there, but, work done and back in Auckland now
 
Went and caught up with Steve the local smoker on my way home.  99% of fish have been full to the brim with Squid and a number  had been gorging so hard he was amazed they had not split open all by themselves LOL
 
A few, and, only a few had Rays Bream and a coupld of Skippies !.

Mullet in stomach can be quite common on west coast -theory is marlin come in very close at night and hunt mullet.  John who has "Westcoaster" told me few years ago that when fishing was hot off Hokianga (14 shots in an afternoon) - the marlin had mullet in them.  Mullet in stomach probably means fish in close.  Another oldtimer Rex off Bluefin told me a grey mullet dropped dead into marlin schoolling on a ball of yellwtail or kohes was as good as putting a livie of same in.  They obviously like em.

Yeah good one Shane, my mate who told me that fish around the Ahipara area and they get marlin in as close as 50 metres! and those buggers have also scored one in a 12 foot tinnyClapClap 
 
So yes I certainly believe they come in real close and feed on mullet, perhaps at night, etc

Would a squid make a good pitch bait?
I presume so
