Having read some of the other area reports it is about time someone got the ball rolling for the big smoke!! It may be hard going trying to get reports off others tho as I appreciate the number of guys who kayak around Auckland like top keep spot X's to themselves and rightly so. Anyway I will kick it off with a decent report.........
The wind on Saturday was more than I expected of which I was glad it seems to keep most yakkers in bed I normally expect this place to have a few kayaks around on a weekend morning..... it was Army Bay OK!! Sounds like you bumped into them on Sunday morning Ambo which I would'nt be too surprised about nice one getting the 10lber.
I am in the process of figuring out a pattern to fish the Auckland area as a general idea of who's catching what and getting the info out. Spoke to some guys at Just Fishin on Saturday who had heard reports of big moochers around the Takatu area in close. A mate of mine reckons Torbay wormbeds are worth a shot for the next couple of months. All good reasons to get out this weekend...........
A couple of yakkers turned up as I was leaving.. seemed they were keeping gentleman's hours. Definitely a good spot to practice tipping out and getting back in, very user friendly place on an offshore wind. Not sure about fish potential though.

![]() And where exactly are the "Torbay wormbeds"? |
Hardly got touched by squid this week compared to a couple of weeks ago hardly surprising with the big moochers hanging around They should slowly start to get less abundant from now tho too. Saw guys get inked a couple of years back on their kayaks on saddle island reef which was messy.
