    Anybody know what knot Black Magic use to secure their snooded hooks to the dropper in their ledger rigs?
    I am sure it is different to the burnsco/wharehouse other cheap ones and is the only one I havent had simply pull out not break while connected to a bloody good fish

    True but fisherman I was doing work for today said he would not tow a net in the bay as there was too much risk of catching a big bag of snapper, he does have 3 ton of Snapper quota but was saving that for the snapper bycatch fishing for flats.
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Once again yes that is a good thing but also a bad thing, Typed out a lenghty reply but this thread is for fishing not politics so deleted and found a fishing pic instead.

    And he waits no more .....VC and his young bloke swung by chucked me in their truck, told me to. Get in shut up and hang on! We were off ..dawn saw us soaking hook lines one shallow as and the other deep as ( my pick ) ..we set to soaking baits with the skipper putting on a shit hot spot. The young fella and I enjoyed the burley washing our side of the boat seeing small but take able brim( snapper) some carrots and frustranily undersize cod ..

    The tide eased so we pulled the hook lines , the deep spot saw much success with a heap of much sought after and treasured spikies some real trophy fish amoungst them, so we pulled the shallow line as well to harvest a handful of solid carrots.

    To finish the day the cold wind eased , the sun came out and the tide started running out and again VC put us on a hot spot the young bloke bloke set to slaying terakihie more of these delicious little fish than I have seen in years ..not only that but he hooked onto the carrots . Nailing double headers he was on fire , whist dad and myself set to thininng the southern sail fish population. VC wisely took my advice to take advantage of the current and breeze in the same direction and sent his hand tied strayline rigs into the jaws of these wonderful sport fish!

    Eventually we were being plagued by tiny terakehie just stripping our tiny baits and our burley ran out so we ran home with a feed of fresh delicious fish, nothing huge but a wonderful feed. A wonderful day amazing company as always and a some turf to look over when I slide back into a wet suit! What a wonderful life what a amazing day ! Thanks to VC and his lad you guys know how to make a man feel welcome !! Cheers

    My br-in-law in Nelson does just that- frequently limits out inside the Boulder Bank on snapper.

    Yep was stoked to get some terakihe. Litterally the first ones I have caught in years. The last one I think that came aboard my boat the penguin threw overboard the first time I took him out.
    @Shearer I have been getting a few snaps on jigs(tho they work even better baited as well) but still yet to catch one on a soft bait.

    Having given them a pretty bloody good go now I think I can safely say the claim that soft baits out catch all other baits is total compleate and utter bulshit.
    Yea they will catch fish but not as good as real bait or even a jig.

    They’re coming in close feeding on anything to fatten up before heading off spawning - crabs off the beach. Heading surf casting tonight and tomorrow night off Matata/ Pikowai/ Thornton with my boy. His birthday treat (and mine)
