Wife reckons no fish out east so I have to do what Im told ,for a change |
![]() Nice work Paul, that's not a bad catch at all! I don't recall ever seeing as many sharks in the harbour as this year. Well ok I do, but it is still a good year for sharks. |
![]() gurnard But I did a fumble as well - iki the snap, bled it, went to rinse it off, the snap kicked a bit, I lost grip & it sunk out of sight.... piss me off eh |
I decided to fish the change of light on Monday evening.
The incoming tide limited my options to the Pahurehure inlet, as I didn't want to paddle against the tide to get to the harbour.
I haven’t fished the Pahurehure inlet in over 10 years and it didn’t disappoint. Conditions were windy but the sea was relatively flat.
I found some really interesting ledges and marked them for future reference.
There’s still plenty of small snapper around, but caught some good pannies for breakfast for Waitangi Day. I noticed a real high fat content in the snapper. There was so much fat around the rib cage and fillets. It’s gonna make excellent eating! Water temperature was recorded at 20.5°C.
I also fished the change of light on Waitangi day, but unlike Monday, I returned with nothing. Fishing was really hard! The yellowtail that I did catch and use for bait, attracted nothing but hammerhead sharks. The water temperature was slightly warmer at 22.5C.
