Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Well the rest of the family had obligations today so I picked up a mate and his son early doors this morning.

Kaiteri was a ghost town in the dark and we had the boat floating as soon as the tide hit the bottom of the ramp.

Out to the spat farm it was. Lures in the water early for a snoop for some kingis.



Seen a few on the sounder but they didn't want to play so we tied off and got busy deploying burly.

Two flashers were dropped by the guests and I cast my bait runner out the back with a pilli.
It was the first to get hit with a strong run and a nice snapper was landed.



Along with some nice fat gurnard a few small mackeral were caught on the flashers and one was deployed for active duty on the live bait rod.



It didn't actually take long for the live bait to get eaten and that produced the second good snapper of the day.

After that the sun got thru the clouds, the sea flattened off and the bite went with it. We mucked about out there just because it was so nice but nothing was happening until the young lad reckons he's got something.

Up comes this fella.



Turns out he had probably had something on for a while (a kahawai) and the okki and latched onto it. Hard case . Okki released unharmed



That was it for us back into kaiteri, jeepers it sure ain't a ghost town at midday. People and boats everywhere.

Another good morning on the water and my mate and his lad loved it which was cool to see.

One thing that was exceptional today was the viz.....unreal you could see the mussel lines half way to the bottom from standing in the boat. It would be 'off the chain' spearfishing !!

Snapper went 13 & 15 pd & were greatly appreciated
