well thought id to this as I'm normally out 2 times a week during the summer period and rather clutter the reports forum I thought I would keep all mine (and any one else that wants to join in) in one thread so here's a couple I can remember23/11/13-up at 3am to a beautiful kaipara forecast mission for today as a little different as I was booked on one of the charter boats we left springs road at 4am and it took just over 3.5hrs to get out to 30m mark in the open ocean of corse this meant a bar crossing but you wouldn't of known it the fish came in waves everyone hooked up at the same time then it went dead for 20 mins then everyone would hook up again after a 12hr day on the water including the 7 hours motoring we ended up with 5 fish each but they were all decent size 450-600cm

Was around 15 knots but we were casting softbait out the back with 3/8 jig heads and getting some nice 400 snaps. Soft bait tend to get the bigger ones this day. biggest one in harbour i have got within the last 2 months was a nice solid 10 pounder around shelly beach :)
