Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Home from bay...hot a hell...southerly dropped off early Saturday and the sea was mint... Friday night saw an intell session and the folks we were questioning had photos of snaps biggest went 68 cm and whales ...3 right up against the coast crusing up towards Nelson ...trying to get videos or photos sent...

After a bit of research they are picking they are pigmy blue whales.

Back to the fishing ...Saturday fishing 35 meters southerly out going pushing tide ...perfect ..straylines set ledger rigs set buerly pumping .................................small cod ....smaller cod 1 k off shore flat mud bottom ...more blue ( mud cod ) ....the slayers from Friday stopped for a yack and some heckling... set up down tide of us ...the same ...we broke first ...headed down the coast to pad rocks ...low tide so hunted a weed bed I've being ken to hunt for and age.....captain killer slay a hand full of butters ..but the donkeys were flighty and ghosted us as soon as they were seen.

Tanked up the slayer dropped him on a new rock ...heaps of fish about no crays. Over to the main land dropped him on a mark that produces ...lots and lots of bubbles round and around more bubbles thought he was picking my rock clean ....a bit later a diver surfaces with a smile a mile wide ....gets in the boat ...mate they were everywhere look at his sack .....few feelers and legs....he is to lost one putting into the sack ahhhhh!

Bombed a reef I've being keen to hunt ..wicked dive ledges at 11 15 20 and bottom at 25 meters holes cracks and fish snagged 3 crays marked a huge cave for next time ...tank was blown and couldn't fish it but surfaced to the slayer who had marked me when I was sitting above it ...very well done mate!

The snapper slayers went from slayers to Zero...nada yesterday and the same today ...they shifted today well up the coast onwards Nelson after their hot spot failed ...guess VC myself got the first day of shit fishing they got the next two ...my call is the snaps are finally spawning hard ...water temps are all over the place ..but the last three days have being massively hot ...cicdias are in full voice and I'm picking summer has finally arrived

Yep summers here alright....grasses burning dry.
Shame I couldn't make it @stingray but the kids gave me a hand today and we put the flounder net out.
Did a lot better than I expected but had a ray as is usual when its this warm and a big rig both successfully released, released 6-7 flounder and come in with 20.

pick size and colour and front or back.
Scroll down to choose style.

I got an XL and it actually was a kiwi sized XL for once.

What a beaut set of flaties ...prime looking fish to! ...big sharks in pass and solid grey boys out at 40 meters ...tiny grey boys at 30 meters along with the odd carrot

That she blows! Launch the long boats! Harpoons at the ready!

Not 100% sure , people are saying they could be pigmy blues

Here is a post for those Nelson flounderers that think they need to completely block a channel with a 60m net in order to catch a feed......and there is a few.

Set a very very holy 40m net this arvo and put the whole thing on dry land with just the ankor in the channel.



Picked it up a short time later for 8 flounder and the net had barely even covered with water.If I had left it there longer there would have been more.

Not bad for 2hrs fishing.



Even avoided the stingrays which I was most happy about

Well not exactly fishing tomorrow. But about to head away to the Philippians for 15 days.

Was looking at taking my boat rod but need to buy a smaller one, as the one I have is too bug for how we are travelling.

Since we are three days on a boat there's no way I'm leaving with out one.

Anyway Ive found what I need.

But in looking I came across this.

I hope thats not the one we booked

I've stayed at home over the last few days despite the stunning weather. Mojo is lacking for some reason, plus the craziness at the boat ramps puts me off. There's some fucking morons out there! Anyway, at 2200 tomight, the urge comes back, so I've spent the last hour getting loaded. What will be will be tomorrow. I've no great desire to catch snapper, but will take a couple to feed us for the week, otherwise. it's all about kingfish and trevally.
