    Tried for cod and watch a commercial cod potter do the same, we lucked out just shorts and more shorts from shallow to deep, back to the pass jigged some more , still nothing! Pulled hook lines bit of luck with a pannie and reasonable 7 lb fish.

    Headed up coast dived VC's new hot spot fished out a handful of very nice crays, still a couple of softies about along with some still to shead. Tried for cod again same same shorts. Hit carrot patch snagged a couple tide ran out sharks turned up and chew the hell of my burley pot. Tide pushed sharks stayed ..home time!

    Bit of a side note, saw well over 100 gannets feeding and resting up the coast, the would have covered over a k of water, ran up and marked a huge school of bait about 15 foot deep and 100 of meters around, nothing pushing them to the surface but the were holding below the surface even whist being bombed by the gannets. Drifted over it no kaiwhai kings couta hitting lines no snapper below either! Maybe everyone was stuffed full ? Interesting to see all the same!

    Thanks again VC for the humour and yarns and sharing ideas and knowledge big ups mate!

    Went out from Manu Bay this morning.
    Was a bit choppy so we couldn't get out as far as we would have liked to.
    Was pretty slow fishing by Raglan standards but ended up with a good feed.
    Highlight was Oliver catching his PB. We were drifting though a work up of kahawai and Gannets.
    7 kgs it weighed in at. 15 and a half pound in old money.����

    Girlfriend and myself are off to blenhiem early in the morning for a serious rig and moki fish.
    Just been down the beach and within 15 mins nearly fulled a bucket of paddle crabs. Might be too much bait lol but with a few prawns as well see how the 3 surfcasters go.
    Pictures tomorrow night!

    Nice fish.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Well, it was a mint day. No much wind, got hot and could of sat on the beach all day. Fishing wasnt the best thou, prob the least action ive seen there.
    Girlfriend first caught a Red Cod, then a hour later the middle rod screamed off and hooked a rig.Ended up double hookup, prob around the same size but she lost her one and i landed mine.

    Quite a while later the rod got pulled out of the holder, line peeling of it. Handed to the GF and she landed the second rig. Got a skate and that was about it.

    Worst its been there but two rig and one lost still was ok, got a feed and the day was mint!
    Released a dozen young rig from the two..All swim away ok so that was good.

    I’m starting to get agitated now. All the good weather has coincided with me being at work. Even the wife is saying you NEED to go fishing. Very envious of all your photos!

    Its the start of the snapper season here and the fish are fat as... and I just had shoulder surgery so I am going to know it all to well in a few weeks time!

    Kawhia today. 50 meters off Albatross. Pretty easy fishing. Thirty in about two hours on less than a bag of pilchards.
    Would have let this guy go but dragging them up from fifty meters pops them.
    @7mmwsm, ya can't fool me. That ain't 50 metres off Albatross.

    Damn this warm weather is getting to me, might have to get the yaks on the water.
