Had 2 whales not far away. Flukes were huge but unsure of what type they were.
Some deer even.

Mate caught a rather large Gurnard, and we had heaps of Jock Stewarts, some big blue cod, a Bluenose and spotty dogs, kahawai and a huge greyboy.
Was enjoying the day too much to take many pics. And they would likely give my spots away.
Got all the way to the Cascade river and back to Jacksons on one 20l caddy with heaps of running around I between.

Did you eat the greyboy? I think I caught one last time I was out but wasn't too sure so I threw it back in, it was a big one as well.

Big grey boys eat well.....just treat em like any shark and head and gut/tail immediately and get on ice till you can fillet and steak(if big)

No we let it go. They are good eating but I have only tried smaller ones.
Rig are plentiful here so greyboys dont usually find their way to my plate.

Looks like a good day there Dave.

We are off to White Island tonight for the weekend, forecast is 10 knot variables all weekend. Kingi hunt on!!

Good luck. Pretty sure we seen some kingis as well. Have been told they have been caught where we were but only found that out today so my hunch they were kingi might be right.

I dont have the gear but will get some as a south west land Kingi would be tops.

Was out today between Motiti and Plate. 7 good snapps, 3 Terakihi, 2 giant gurnard and a golden snapper for 2.5hrs.

Caught some beauties, terakihi, trevally, a mako and my favorite snapper best being about 12lbs.
Good day with the boy and old fella.

Well myself and a forum member went bait soaking today, weather was what the weather was...but the fishing was average out of okiwi up to Delaware where the snapper were last week apperntly...red cod, horse kawahai and spikies...down the coast tried a variety of depths and spots.

Water temp well up finally got a legal blue cod then the forum member chucked ( dropped it over the side) it back whilst measuring it. Eat tucker had a brew or three of tea, grabbed a feed of mussels. Home

Never seen a green penguin before but today we shared some time with one.. interesting wee creatures burbing and farting then after a bit the lose concionius in the front of your boat, though they do respond to "mate you have a fish on with enthusiasm" ...

Cheers to the forum member for a great day out and my daughter for her paitence! A hard days fishing but a fantastic memory all the same.
