Bakes wrote:Hi Tugboat Yea my old man used to set the sea net out on the furtherest reef when we were kids. Apparently its fairly flat although i remember it getting snagged every so often. We used to get quite a few terakihi and even boarfish along with the usual snapper, trevs, moki and kahawai. My little bro has dived a few calm days out there too but said they were fairly featureless, mostly big rocks without many cracks or holes for crays. Surely must be some good ground out there somewhere though. I've always found that area to fish best just before sunrise.
Its a mint piece of coastline, we've got a leasehold batch at Pataua South and learnt to fish/dive/surf etc there growing up. Its such a good access point to the coast with sheltered spots from wind from the north through the west to straight southerly. |
