Anyone suggest some good land based fishing in south island? Bored shitless (mrs still overseas) and have a couple days off still might jump in the truck and go where the wind takes me
A short video of my fishing trip the other day. Snapper caught on microjigs, soft baits and trolled hard body lures.

Bruce Bay or any river mouth close by, it's only a days drive from where you are
Beautiful place , wind swept beach, place to sit and clear the head.
Nice video there @MightyBoosh good little haule:thumbsup:
Nice one.
How are you fishing the microjigs?
What sort of depth and bottom?
I fish up north a bit out of Tauranga Bay. Usually target snapper over shallow foul at the change of light with softies.
Fish microjigs up to 30g just like softies. Casting forward on the drift. Usually 8 - 20 metres, sometimes 30 metres if I'm not drifting too fast, or too lazy to change jigs. Always over sand, foul is asking for trouble.
Big moochers in the shallow foul though bro :thumbsup:

Bring it to the forum trip.
Funny season this year....my side of the bay has been terrible fishing.
Mid feb and im sitting with an incoming tide and burly going out over the bar in front of rabbit/Monaco and not one single bite.....usually at this time of year the chilly bin would be full of pannies in an hour.

At least its good to see not much wind on the water. The firefighters will be happy.
I heard of several good tuna catches from yesterday out off awaroa about the 40m mark.
Also people are still picking up snapper off the back of adele island at about 30 odd meters.
I'm working today otherwise i would be definitely towing lures !!

Filled the bin way out wide today so the family will be happy. Awesome weather but it's no help for those fires....

We caught everything but a Kingi and a Snapper today
Barracuda - then 7 Gillers then about 20 thousand Spiky dogs
But we still managed to fill the bin with Gurnard and also 2 very borderline size Blue Cod
Oh and 1 Stingray

Very neat vacuum packing. I like your work.
The vacuum packing is my job - but the cleaning and filleting the Wifi does :thumbsup: Cost me a can of beer today but - suppose she deserved it :-)
She kept the smaller Gurnard whole for herself and filleted the bigger ones for me who hates bones
So 1+1/2 filleted and 1 whole in each pack
26 Gurnard there
I even vacuum the bait now and re-vacuum what comes home again
Delaware this morning,through the high.20.4°c nne swell
Skunked,nada,nothing,nean.
Then duh! No boat washing cause there's a drought.
Hmmm ...we had the best blue cod session on Sunday for at least two years ...very slow to start ...then bang they were on like no tommorrow ...I'm starting to think bite times are very short ...which doesn't help with warm water temps and current with burley because we burnt a 3kg frozen solid one in just on an hour...so you could burn a lot of burley waitng for the snapper to come on the bite!
The cod we choked full of plankton like bulging...guts swollen the works...vis was average as I do believe we are seeing a plankton swarm!
I watched a fella haul 3 good pannies out along rocks road between magazine point and Tahuna beach this morning while I was stuck in traffic :D
We're sorry to inform you Mr Rushy ...you application to emergrate to the other island has being denied! Please try again at a further time!
:thumbsup:
