Fancy seeing you here MB!
Another hit out chasing spring snapper, this time with VC and his Dad, out of Nelson to a spot x , that seemed to be everyone’s spot x with about 8 boats covering half a k. Tide in full flood big moon and thankfully very few spikes , a variety of fish Kahawai , rig , couple of pannies , snakes ( aka Jacindas...long skinny slimy with big teeth that tax the shit out of you). Even a seahorse hanging on to the float line of the hook line.
Fished the flood , then everything went dead as the tide ran out ..tried a couple of spots more Kahawai and more Kahawai. The tide ebbed and a massive flood of milky water entered the bay from the estuary , turning all the green water to milky brown right across the whole Tasman.
Fished closer to home marking massive schools of fish ...more Kahawai stuffed full of squat lobster(krill) and 6 inch long anchovies. Ended with one carrot a handful of brim and a few fat as mud Kahawai destined for the smoker...
Fantastic day yarning laughing untangling re rigging blokeing it up. As all ways cheers VC and your dad.
Summer is coming hot a hell even with a steady southerly wind. Hope VC will post a few photos ...
@stingray there would have been one more boat covering that 1/2 a km as that was where we were heading too.
Decided to stop at about 12m as was a bit concerned for my young crew on the return journey if the conditions deteriorated.
Fishing was much the same as you. Heaps of kahawai stuffed full of squat lobster and anchovies. Quite a few small snaps (all released) and one nice big rig on the set line.
Ended up having to put the scuppers down on the way home as plenty of splash over the bow. The youngest (4yrs) developed his own technique to combat the splash, much to the amusement of his brother and me [emoji23]

Pretty wet by the time we got back to the carpark. On the plus side there was plenty of room for anyone else wanting to give it a try. [emoji6] Parking is never a premium over here.

Might be worth remembering for you nelson fellas when it goes batshit crazy over there in a week or two !!
The boys wanted to have dinner at the beach tonight so we have just been back down there. It looks so much nicer now but I guess it always does looking at the back of the waves [emoji41]

Even though the target species didn't make it into our bin today, i know they ARE there. We will be back at it at the next available opportunity.
Still a capital O for Orsum !! Love that shit [emoji106]

A few of these around....only one larger model tho.
Attachment 152784
Thousands of these around....sounder stacked 15m thick at times......we could easily have caught our limit of 60 if so inclined but just kept a few for the smoker.

Seahorse looks like he may be carrying bubbas
Plenty going on today with the rest of the family so not much time for fishing but did manage to get the boys out for a little fish this morning.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1299f7deeb.jpg
Conditions better than last week but water clarity down. Its mud in the inlet ! A few more boats out but bugger all really.
Dropped the long line, fished for 1hr and picked it up. Heaps of action on the rods, loads of small brim. Kahawai still there but seemed only to be full of anchovies not krill this week.
Ended up with 2 snaps (1 each to the LL and rods) 1 nice gurnard and plenty of kahawai.

Sorted out the next few nights dinner and one for the freezer so well worth it and plenty of fun too [emoji106]

Out of okiwi today 40 meter mark straight out. Trying conditions ..very little flood in the tidal movement.. sharks again a problem ..grey boy as well ..blue cod in the mud at 40 meters. Desperate times ended up baiting up hooks with squat lobsters ..worked some what four carrots and 3 keepable cod .
Water out wide was blue and clean ...seas built to an uncomfortable level pulled the and hook line...had a very large critter on hook line went through back bone. One large skate number of spikes 4 very large carpet sharks. ..in to the harbour fishing the round down on the old scallop beds ...bugger me...rounded out the day as the rain set in again

@kukuwai, krill at 40, no bait shoals, only one very large Kawhai.. stray line 4 snakes before giving up..glad pannies are about no idea where the mythical tasman bay snapper are..running late ? Or just full?
Nice fish @stingray [emoji106]
Massive schools of kahawai in close still, their guts are chocka with anchovies.
Interestingly both the snapper we got today had absolutely nothing in their stomachs. Were both males and full of milt [emoji848]

Young folk back from day at French pass, weather a lot better up that side than we had ...couldn’t land cod due to the inner sounds seasonal closure ..jigged the pass boated 4 Kīngi one very legal rest shorts. Fished sand bank on the southern side ..small to keeper brim two at a time in 7 meters. Mussel barge heading up Admiralty bay with dead whale tied on along side.
First summerish net for flounder in Raglan harbour was a success ...... damn tasty !!!!

Out early this morning with the boys. Good sea conditions to begin with. Heaps of wood about and some of them are massive so it pays to wait until you can see !!
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...16536f96dc.jpg
However it was the 3rd weekend in a row with the tide ripping towards the wind. So fishing with the rods was tough going.
Heaps of boats, they just kept coming out from every direction. About 9 the south wester hit and sent everyone scatting for home.
We had a couple of set lines to collect on the way in which produced some nice fish.
Ended up helping out heaps of folk get there boats back on the trailer at the launching area. A lot of people were really struggling in those conditions. One time you are happy to have a small boat [emoji41]
Fish were fat and full of crabs...
