Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Temp today was 15c on sounder.
Leftovers of the marine heatwave.
Warmer than average temperature hanging around in the top of the south and also Invercargill north to Dunedin.

Was a great first day off work.

Out with Dad today,from Nelson to burn some 500hr carbon out apparently.
Same spot as yesterday @stingray blue cod were small in yesterday's spot.....went 6-7m left and got our limit a couple min.
Longline deployed....all squid bait I am sure we have had this discussion multiple times before.

Burly up,catch some really good gurnard on the rods...tide ran out(small tides) picked up longline for not one single gurnard gutted fish and steamed home.
Was a nice day on the water with no early start and nice weather.


Seen some Russian subs on the way in.

you mean AUV survey units

You nelson boy need to be banned from posting !!!!

Packin rods...

Yip up aswell going start loading the boat.

Left you guys alone all weekend and no posts.
Weather was good most places.

4 measly snappers for our half day trip.a feed..good to be out in the boat and clock up some hours.not many boats out in the hauraki yesterday.

Packed 38 rods and still found a couple to use for a quick salmon fish

Down to okiwi this morning , before my fishing buddy got back fishing !

Gentlemen hours due to the tide , set forth with high hopes and enthusiasm!

South easterly blown over the top of the hill do we hugged the coast..tried a few spots without much joy.

Ran out of paintence, geared up and over the side t the split rock, twas a ghost town.
Spot two in shallow produced a keeper and a handy buck.
Still half a tank left and no pressure to get a result dived a area I haven't bothered with for 15 odd years ....down and around and around..and damn near crashed into a nice cray, poor bugger was in a easy spot and I took em.

A bit later I had my head in a cave and a bloody cray came screaming past my face ...I darn near wet my suit ..he must have being out on the top of the rock or something..no idea where he came from.

But he scurried away and was gone , swam round the rock and hello my beauty..a bit of a battle and a very nice cray in the sack ...the cold was chewing into me and I was thinking of warm cloths but one more set of feelers caught my attention and I sacked another victim.

Saw a few more smalls a couple of beeried females one huge huge red Moki.

The cold bit and I was done. VC as always right there to to pick me up. Bloody legend !

Pod of dolphins came charging into the rocks couldn't se what they were hunting but was amazing to watch them.. fishing was a bust ..one cod for tea

Boat washed fire on and a beer in hand

I would remove the hooks. This has caused me trouble in the past.

yum Crayfish, well done fellas. Looks bloody nice and clear and cold. We had a swim down at cable bay today, bit fresh without a wetsuit but water was clear. Mid winter swim with the family.

See a few Snapper are still out in the bay to.

Love seeing dolphins working the ocean, I have had a few surfs on the south coast of WA where we have been surrounded by dolphins chasing schools of Australian salmon, amazing experience to be in the water with them.

Do you guys have the inner ears pain when you dive below 5m, or maybe 6m? It `s like someone use chopstick to poke into your ears kind of pain.
