Well not really an exciting report, but thought id put one up anyway seeing as I just got back from my holiday up in Mangawhai.
Last week my girlfriend and I took out the tinny and went into the estuary, to a spot further down the estuary away from the tonnes of jetski's and boats towing biscuits.
Got told of a certain place that holds some fish so we just took out the smelly pillies and squid and chucked a line in, whilst the tide was very very low

Found the deepest area I could find, in about 5ft of water

However there was a lot of current, even with big sinkers on, so I remembered the saying "if theres current theres fish" and dropped the anchor.
Within seconds I had a small Kahawai for the smoker, as I thought it could be the only thing close to a feed we would catch.
They went off the bite for a while, so we moved around a bit, trying different areas looking for this certain spot I was told of, all while another 12fter came past asking for the exact same spot...and after saying I had no clue where it was, we just anchored again in the deepest patch of water I could find

However we must have found the spot, as my girlfriends new reel screamed off at 100 miles an hour...my first thought was "Ray", until I saw a very big Kahawai jump out of the water some yards away...We then played it for a little while and finally, after untangling it from the anchor rope, we got it in the boat. We were going to take photos but had mucky hands, but it was the biggest, fattest Kahawai I have ever seen. Actually thought it was a rat kingi when I saw it at first.
We continued to fish, using all of our bait...also catching mammoth Korehu too! And one small trev.
Definately a good little spot...just love the thrill of getting decent sized fish in next to no water!! However hopefully I will be hooking into some redder coloured fish in the muddy tomorrow morning
