Fish for the famous Blue Moki- average size for the area 1.5 - 4 kg with the chance of catching a 5-7 kg fish, a power house of a fish. Many of us travel north and support the comps up your way, so come on down south and support the Feilding Surfcasting Club who are also holding the 2012 Nationals. https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=217708491616026 - https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=217708491616026  ------------- "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled” Mark Twain |

I have spent my fare share of time through that area, the moki are very big. I have seen plenty well over 5kg in flesh in that area to around 8kg. I think as long as the weather plays its part, it will be a fantastic event. Good luck to those attending, im sure there will be some amazing fishing to be had

| Living locally I too have spent my fair share of time through there - as far as line caught fish are concerned 5-6kg fish come out of the bay every year but much beyond that i've not heard of. Let's not get carried away, the vast majority of fish are in the 2-4kg range. But here's hoping the comp produces some big boys! |

Do you fish them the same as snaps or more like trevs?

| Shellfish only EditB, the beaches in this area are steep and most fish are caught just over the drop off |

Been weighing up entering, so fishing starts at 3pm on the 26th, and the contest finishes 9am the next morning. A few questions. How long does it take to drive from Welly to the Moki 1000? Is the road gravel or sealed? Is having a 4WD for beach driving useful? edit: One more, how often is the weather pleasant out that way? eg, whats are the chances of sitting in a sandblaster over night... |

AL BG dont take it personal bro, read my post, I dont mention average sizes, I am stating there ARE some big fish there, just because you havent seen a 8kg MOKI doesn't mean they don't exist................. I have seen the bugas, and not just one or two........ Best baits are crayfish and mussel, softbait crabs also work, caught a few on them when there is nothing else to use, also limpets are a good bait too. Using a double ledger rig with 3/0 circle hooks will usually do the trick lobbing the bait into your burley only a few meters out. Fish as close to a reef as possible without getting caught up and leaving enough space to play the fish. The weather this time of the year is mainly 100k westers hahaha but thats what flattens it off nicely for the moki. There seems to be more NE conditions this year. I would say theres a 20% chance the sea will be nice and flat, very rare for the sea to be perfect, thats why the moki are abundant in the area. and so big

Al bg, there are certain people on here that talk a big game, funnily enough it's the same people that talk it up on other forums. Don't know why they do, some of them probably don't need to, some of them obviously do, but to be honest I don't really care. Best just to leave them to it. Hard to find impartial views on this sort of topic I guess. Will someone attending this comp post up the results please? Good luck to those attending. ------------- “Drive for Show, Putt for Dough”: |

Q. where do we poop? Q. are we allowed to setup a tent for guests to take nana naps? Might seem like stupid questions, but I haven't been before and don't do many trips like this, but am thinking it could make for a nice weekend out. Was planning to bring someone else, hence questions above.

Tempted to enter this contest, but crossing Cook is not cheap so going to wait to see the forecast before booking any tickets. Looked at flying but I really need my truck to transport all of my Surfcasting gear

I wouldn't get too worked up about people being mislead into travelling long distances in search of a trophy moki al BG. People will travel long distances to compete in a comp with a bunch of other fisho's, have a few laughs, drink a few bevvies, share a few stories, check out a new part of the country, catch a few fish and maybe even win some money. Some people will probably even travel long distances to get away from their nit-picking wives only to log onto this forum and find nit-picking forum members.
Hope you have a great comp scuzzy, meet some good people and catch some fish. ------------- Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish caught will we realise we can't eat money. |

thats fishing, still a good weekend by all, it was still very hot, the swell was not a problem as only a ground swell of approx 1.5 meters still fishable in certain areas if you know the area,the weed was an issue as was the side rip,the rip was that strong a 6 oz did not have time to hit the bottom on open beaches, there were still a few fish caught but not the target moki so next time ------------- "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled” Mark Twain |
