60m for us this morning. Binned up by 10.30  Biggest 5.7kg. 60m west of 23. Lost a fair bit of gear to the sharks but a constant run of snapper kept us there. Old Bradley is smoking his first fillets of the season.

just done two days on water, day one  58 mtrs,of leads,  nice fish ,few sharkies,today same area better fish, 

Thanks for that. Spent the day listening to my handheld vhf while I took cork flooring up in the ensuite and prepared walls and windows for painting. It was torture, lots of boats out, but its the last room and my credits are high. Hopefully have a crack later in the week once these northerlies pass through.

there gonna be a few smoke houses going today.......

Anyone going out for a look tommorow or sunday out of Rags? Not too sure what to make of the forecast yet???

heading out four arvo tommorrow. Probably go dawn Sunday and make a call when out. SW home after lunch. Will be bit rough for sure.

was out from Mokau yesterday, was a mint arvo would of been awesome this morning.

Yeah we were looking at tomorrow but will prob keep the powder dry for another day!

spent from six till one on the water today. Blowing 15 most of the time,small swell with ****ty short chop. Plenty of boats about. Started in the pack in 50 then 52 then 55. Plenty of boats stopping for an hour then moving on. Was keen to head further out but forcast 20 knots kept us on the cautious side. Heaps of workups and some solid kahawai. Snapper on the bite in the afternoon in the deeper water with one going 58 cm. Seemed like a long hard day on the water!

We were out from Rags early Sunday, near due west of the leads, sloppy seas and slow trip but at the 55m by 8, finished fishing about an hour later with a bin full of fish.  Back home in time to catch the last of the ABs game.  Great morning.  I havent had fishing that fast in ages, 2 at a time, about 2 seconds on the bottom before bites.  Awesome.  Only thing that slowed us down was a few (cudas?) stealing hooks.
