Where's that Spud? My mate planned to get out this morning, but canned it at the last minute because of the wind. I did the same this evening. It was flat in the harbour, but I didn't fancy the harbour entrance on the ski.

Tauranga, was flat as all day with hardly a breath of wing, shot out to the Astrolabe reef, full tap the whole way.
Was going off out there, dolphins, seals and gannets smashing in from every direction, fishing was hard work though.
4 decent snapper with the biggest 10lbs so pretty good day!

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

Rough as out of Tauranga again today, Found @Gibos tarakihi spot. :PAttachment 93950Attachment 93951
Beeman those fish you dropped off went down a treat Yum.
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 !
