Hi , Has any one got any news or sightings around  Aldermans out wide etc ,hoping to head out from Tauranga on 1st  and head up to  Gt Barrier ,weather permiting for 4 to 5 days , Cheers  DUTCHY     Happy new year all .  

Happy new year flying and catch the big ones and leave the little ones for me :) you da lucky man

dont think anyone will be out for a while cause of the high water and crap in the river

good time of year to wander along the 200m line

Whakatane bar looks ok this morning, there are about seven boats out at this stage.

guys out at just past and to the west of ten mile where the skippies were thickest last year in amongst dolphins and gannets and averaging 10 albacore and 3 skippies per hour. 110meter depth

mates back in now they got 16 skippies and lost count of albacore they kept some and spent all day trying to get away from them. great water but a few logs to watch out for wen at speed!

How far out wolf? past 10mile or under?

zip for me today heaps of bait 19.6 best temp worked from penguins to aldermans and back

Both  :) last time us boys was out there was a few logs etc floating around but dam talk about skippys.. need a hand holler out :) but thanks for the info just gauging what to look out for and to get our timing correct. so it is not a waste of gas, my guess is that most of the fish would be at the back of whale like last year in the 40+ mark again. but that was cause of the crap mud silt that left the river and turned the bay into a brown yuckky colour, what colours was they taking most of the time, skippys that is not albys :)
