    A nice wee fish with my Son today, weather was good with just a big lazy swell putting some surf up on the bar and rocks.
    Picked a spot and deployed the salmon burly,Son had caught 5 or 6 fish before I could even get my gear rigged and in the water..."right its time you took your own bloody fish off!"
    Lots of small kahawai, blue cod and a small snap....we soon had our limit of 4 good sized blue cod and moved off to avoid catching anymore and target gurnard which was a bit slower fishing as the tide slowed off but we ended up with a few good feeds and home early.

    Yep....follow everyone elses wheel marks to minimize damage to the estuary.

    Launching and retrieving is best done at or near low tide and full tide....in the middle requires getting your vehicle in the water.

    Once in the channel getting in and out is impossible at the bottom of big tides.

    On small tides (yesterday was a 1.4m low) you can get out on the bottom of tide just and launch into the channel for about 1.5hours each side.
    On big tides you need to be at least two hours after low to get back in...2.5 is better.
    Be wary of big tides and a northerly swell if you will be coming back in on a outgoing tide, it stands up really nasty with the current running out over the bar.

    Best to head out just after low tide in daylight the first time to learn the channel.
    Happy to meet up and lead you out.

    Wanted to take Dad for a proper fish today but he wasn't keen on a big mission.
    So instead I put the net out and he came along for a ride to pick it up.
    5 flounder and surprisingly little weed and rubbish.

    I am no expert but I think it is a hectors (spelling?) dolphin.
    About 2/3rds the size of the "normal" dolphin.
