Dad was keen to get out this morning having heard plenty of snapper storys of late and @kukuwai had given me some good intelligence on the whereabouts of some closer fish so Dad picked me up on the way past.
Deployed a longline then moved off and burlyed up....it was slow fishing for a start but at least we were not being inundated with shit fish.
Finally one of the straylines took off and a nice snapper was boated.
Dad and Uncle both caught and lost snapper on the flasher rigs (rod holder caught hook not set)
A few gurnard and a xxl kahawai and then another nice snap on the strayline.
A few snakes and sharks showed up and then we were out of burly.
Picked up longline for some nice snaps and obligatory sharks and lost one good snapper as it broke the shitty old trace[emoji849]
It should be fine it was only shallow and hooked corner mouth.

Dropped the silicon tube which took the whole end off it, so used plenty to get a good signal through the hull.
Transducer work ok threw the hull?

Works as long as there are no or very few air bubbles in either the silicone or plastic hull. Same for fibreglass hulls but don't work thru alloy or steel, nor foam core/fibreglassQuote:

Not sure exactly where they were fishing but feel like they may have been south of there, more back towards Delaware.
@stingray may have a better idea of what's happening over those ways.

Okiwi and down that side typically fishes better after they have spawned but there will be a few being caught.Quote:

Another bloody early start this morning to go out with a mate who was itching to catch some snapper.....fished slack water for almost no bites then as the tide finally started to move we got plauged by little mullet.....mate got the sulks and wound his lines in while the last of the burly went out.
I got this on my 10pound strayline set up 2 mins later and he was calling me all sorts of names.[emoji23]

Then the burly ran out and the weather turned to poo as forcast so we picked up longline and mr sulky cheered up no end then headed for home and the filleting.

After not doing well at all local trying to catch rig surfcasting had some success over Blenheim .
Tried a spot couple weeks ago for a night fish and got 3 rig, one good one and about 8 red cod and some carpet sharks. Went back today for a morning fish using crabs(used prawns last time) and got 4 good rig and lost one that took a big run.
Was pretty happy catching seven in the last two trips. They about to drop their young ones, managed to release about 12 from their mothers, all swim away happy so hope they all survive
Flat calm out in the bay this morning.
Heaps of boats out, at one stage I could count 12 from where we were fishing. They were even still coming out when we were heading home.
Pretty quiet on the rods today though. The highlight was the huge pod of dolphins that put on a very acrobatic show for us [emoji3]
Happy to still come home with a feed....

Beeman, being the cheeky bugger that I am I have to say that I didn't know that there was a limit on Dolphins.
I think ur right @Rushy.. No limit. :wtfsmilie:

Most likely I'll be out tomorrow, but there's still a stiff breeze hanging around which doesn't bode well for the morning where I am. Monday definitely looking better :pissed off:
One for @stingray.

Fishing was too good today. 12 fish in 12 casts. Started fishing at 6am, finished at 7am. 10 fish released (shallow water), 2 kept. I even resorted to trolling to try and not catch a snapper, but that didn't work! A lot of effort for 1 hour of fishing!

That's awesome. Snapper on a bibbed minnow.Quote:
