Wow, this thread still exists! Dang, I don't even know how long it's been since I last posted...

Anyway, we got up at stupid O'clock to get to ramp before every man and his dog hit the water, and potentially fish the change of light. Southerly swell, so decided to go with Evans Bay rather than South Coast, or waste fishing time by driving out of the city. Excellent decision, no dramas, no line at the ramp, plenty of parking. Didn't even need to get our feet wet. 

The plan was to get a livebait soaking, but no work ups were seen, so we headed for a wreck instead. I can see another boat heading that way too, and we arrive at the same time. Classic. Did one drift for a sea perch, then left them to it.

Dropped a couple of servo burleys in 20m out from Kau Bay. Caught a few small snapper, blue cod, and jack macks. So put out a mackie for a livie. About an hour later, nothing had really changed so I pulled up the burley and added a 10L bucket full of frozen fish frames, kina, paua guts etc. My burley bag is made from the large craypot mesh, and almost a cubic meter in size. It's awesome for dumping buckets full of scraps, but you need to put a large rock in it to keep it from taking off.

It started really firing after that. Got a decent snap, and then some really large jack macks. I've not seen them that large down here. Randomly, both of us hooked up on massive conger eels at exactly the same time. Mine was so heavy I thought I'd snagged the burley. 

Moved out by Breaker Bay for a while, but it was a bit lumpy so decided to call it quits. Got a few Kahawai that were starting to fire up near Point Halswell. Ended up with a decent feed then home for lunch.

Thank you Wellington on a good day!

what’s wrong with KP Marine?

Wow, good to see someone posting a report on the old forum Grasshoppa.

exactly a year since the last post here...

Happy New Year fishos! Here's hoping the water temp warms up a bit and summer starts finally... overnight land temp supposed to get down to 7degrees in Kapiti tonight...not normal Jan wx.

Getting a bit tired of catching endless monster carrots off the beach and cant wait for the snaps to come back in in good numbers. How is everyone else doing?

Cheers
