Drove a mate of mines 32ft Launch down the coast from Whanagrei on Saturday, so decided to stop for a quick fish at both of the above loccations and nailed only a few legal snapper (which were promptly released) for our troubles!...After reading Russel's dive report, I think we should have been in close for a straylining mission!!...Certainly wasn't the most pleasant conditions out there, but was still a nice day out on the water!!..

Out from Ruakaka in 60ms of water there was heaps of bird life and plenty of sign on the sounder...could be worth a look for those of you up that way!

Hi Kerren, yes there were plenty of Trevally and Kahawaii in close to the rocks but us spearos saw bugger all snapper there. I think the landbased guys using berley and waiting it out had the answer .We envied them in the sun while we were shivering in the 13-14 DEGREE water Brrr!And no we did not dive near them or in their berley trails.My motto is if they are their first and are landbased they deserve the spot.

Out of 6 guys diving all day we only managed one decent snapper (5.3kg).Must say the underwater territory at the end of Takatu was perfect for big snapper.
