I decided to go extra big on the baits, that's half Kahawai's the head end, as we had over ten Kahawai by this stage. Half an hour later i got a taker and the line started inching off my reel picking  pace rather quick... With big head baits you have got to let them go for ages before putting the brakes on. By the time I did the fish was thirty to forty odd meters out the back and hooked! Straight away i knew it was a good one! Big weight on rod and screaming runs. I said to Hinga get the net ready when this comes in sight were going to need it. She got it first go and couldn't believe seeing it in the net! It did look good in the boat though and was the biggest Snap she had ever seen! I was happy getting another good size one as well It went 12.36 kg.  

Things didn't stop there shortly after that one I hit another goodie, this time a 10 kg fish which I quickly unhooked and released.  Hinga chimed in with an 8 kg then as low tide approached and the current eases the fishing went quiet again so we called it a day at 2pm. Ive included a photo of hooking into a big one, it shows the angle of how far from the boat I strayline. Dont be shy of casting baits as far as you can. The other two, me struggling to hold fish up with one hand and after weighing at the butcher shop. Cheers...
