Has been a while, however, finally got out with a friend today. Shot out to Home Bay. Motutapu, at 5am this morning.  Tide was too big to Fish their usual spot. Put down a set line and commenced fishing. Five fish in total for the morning, including one keeper from the set line. Hard dirty work as my friend only uses bait. Absolutely stunning day on the water. Was great to finally get out again. No milky fish in the 5 which was a bonus. Take care.

Out on the firth this morning, sea was flat as but water was quite a bit colder than a couple of weeks ago. I had picked up some jerkshads from Kaveman so I was keen to try them out.

Fishing in 12 metres there was a good bit of current as I was drifting along a bit too fast for my liking. This is where micro jigs work well, because of their shape they get to the bottom quickly and stay in the zone longer.

I was dragging the Kaveman Shad’s on a 5/8 jig head and they worked really well picking up some nice fish on them around the 400 size. These are good quality for the money well worth checking out.

Came home with 7 snapper caught on both micro jigs and soft baits. On the water at 7.30 and home by 10.00 for a feed of fresh snapper and fried eggs.
