Tauranga, was flat as all day with hardly a breath of wing, shot out to the Astrolabe reef, full tap the whole way.Quote:

4 decent snapper with the biggest 10lbs so pretty good day!

That would explain it then! Thought I was being a bit daft!

Mate was out of Whakas yest. Truly a millpond. He was back in with the limit quite early
Was going to go out yesterday but the warrant for the trailer was out, my fault. Took it in yesterday and now have to replace the springs and back led lights. Might as well do the bearings whilst I've got the wheels off I guess. Just dream of fishing at sea instead. They now have a ramp fee at the beach and the Council guys come roundabout 4 times a day to check tickets, WOF and regos.
I came home a few days early to head up to the hydro canals fishing with a good friend.
Big rainbows were spawning so we threw back three at 22lb, 23, and 27lbs.
Got my personal best at 22lbs but had no qualms about letting it go on and breed for the future.
Only two salmon of note - 8 and 10lbs but my first ever on a soft bait so that was interesting.
Anyone headed to the Toby Shoot in November should have a look at a side trip to Twizel and / or Tekapo.
There are also wallabies on public land in that area !

I have the week previous to Toby shoot off work and will be on the wet coast , I think I booked the Monday after Toby shoot as a travel/recovery day so might be able to squeeze something in in there?....or maybe come over from the coast a day early? or take more leave but Id prefer not to.Quote:

A lot of video on You Tube have good tips.
Beautiful area even if the fishing is not on. The wind can be testing - all the canals are very exposed - no place to hide !

Anyone surf casting yet?
Sea was rough today over the coast, we didn’t catch anything although I got the gear sorted and enjoyed the sun and am now super keen to hit those September snappers.

Probably more like end nov for pannies off the beach here....the odd bigger one does get caught earlier but pretty hit and miss.
I was casting yesterday too Danny ;)

We went up hunters. Got on the beers for the night. No sweel up there�� heap of small kahawai, no kings :( bit early?
Down the bay , had some great tips ..pity weather saw us hunting shelter! Dropped the hook line in at 22 ft (8 meters) on a whisper. Fished northern entrance and couple of Ks down the coast tried everything 100 ft + to 30 ft big swell, small cod everywhere it was bloody frustrating! Spear fishing was out as the swell rolled on any handy haunts! Wind kicked in turning a sloppy day very unpleasant!
Dog turned green so did Lis so we pulled the hook line in a building sea, we were rewarded with a couple of fat carrots for tea plus a massive Chinaman, no spikies which was a massive win! We headed for the ramp along with every boat on the area must have being a sight with a line of fizz boats following each other through the swell ...everyone home safe, a very freindly bunch very few fish amoungst us!
Made for a quick fillet and boat clean up , so beers opened and enjoyed in the afternoon sun!
Still better than workin tho ay ;)Quote:

Horses for courses, I have a basic understanding of how the magic pixies get from the key to the spark plug or the battery to the sounder but finding a fault I could probably do maybe if I am lucky but generally would rather get the experts in and know its sorted.;)Quote:
