trolled baits around  45-55m just south of the bar for the day , lot of skippies ,kahawai , mackeral, nothing really happened though. Beautiful out there , rolling swells and you could see the fish boiling on the surface .

Was hopeing to get out wide tomorrow for an over night stay but have 4 meter swells and building at the present time. Not good for crossing the kawhia bar. Have heard from my eyes in the sky that there are still good numbers of marlin out there. All around the mackrel schools.

How far out are these marlin?
Pity it's duck shooting this weekend as the weather looks better for fishing than ducks.
