Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Was out with my family at the carrot patch catching a few decent sizes gurnards and a hundred spikeys which were driving me nuts ,was about to call it a day when I pulled that up

Bloody hell , you guys have had a bloody epic run, seen my son and his mate catch gropher this time of the year on the northern side of French pass , they got two similar size to that .very very cool to know that they remain shallow ..I'm hoping to see some in the reserve in the next 10 years !

Traced fish, rolled the hook at the boat, yip big kingi

Went out off mahia this long weekend, was an absolute glory run out deep filling the bin in a couple of hours. New PB blue cod too

Oz snaps guess who gets the big one ..

At least I'm consistent


The rest of the catch ,Taylor,Jewish,flathead


Tried live baiting for cobia with a silver travally but it's late in the season and we lucked out

Dad called up "whatdayaupto?" "not much" "the sea is flatarse here at cablebay how bout you take me fishing?"
So hooked the boat on and off to launch at dellaware.
We absolutely slayed the red cod with some real trophy fish in the mix
Did get limit of blues 35cm-40cm which was a nice surprise seeing as we were miles from any structure and a couple of feeds of gurnard.
Didnt take any picks.
oh and I left it to late to get back in and had to fill the gumboots and walk the boat for 50m or so to get in.

Was out there yesterday but didn't see a red cod (thankfully). Some nice blues and a heap of terikihi. Even caught one on a jig before a big snake stole it.

Ok. We were in close at 15-20m. Never thought I would catch Terikihi in such shallow water.

In close is the only place I have ever got them in any numbers in tasman bay ....5-20m off the end of points or structure with current near the coast.

Also lots of these little blue sailor jellyfish.

Another hard day at the office. Lucky I don't have a job to fill my days in.
35 meters off Albatross today. Very easy fishing.

Nice fish but mate there is something about those shorts that is disturbing me. I think it is the pink.

Shot out from mot this morning before work.



Didn't have a whole lot of time but left the Long line down for an hour at 10m mark, it picked up one small snapper. I managed 2 gurnard on the rod in that time.



Just enough for tea !!
