It was either sharks or juvinile snapper and cod or nothing.
I have never caught so many baby snapper...20-28cm snapper.....they seem to have taken over the spots we used to catch Terakihi years ago.
I sopos thats good?
15y ago you would never catch undersize snapper.

Managed a feed of gurnard and cod but hard work.

It's just good to be out isn't it?! My story from yesterday...

My mate had an issue with his sounder, so he canned the trip and took the boat in to town to get it fixed. He called me a little bit later when I was half way up one of the local "mountains" to say that it was sorted and get back to the boat ramp ASAP, so I ran down!

On the way back to the boat ramp, his trailer made a good attempt at breaking in two. Two load bearing bolts had sheared in half. They were stainless steel. It is my understanding that stainless steel bolts should not be used for this purpose.

We got out and had a very small window to fish as I had to get to work in the afternoon. Lots of snapper around taking softbaits, jigs and bait. Fish in great condition and good size, average 55cm. We caught as many as we needed in a couple of hours.

Trailer repair at the ramp after fishing.

No photos, there wasn't time!
