Yeh I know. I like them better than snapper. I was giving Stingray shit for his spelling.

Yes they are @Shearer ...big bait shaols ...one was the way down off Okuri light ...dolphins gannets terns and seals had a school of baitfish on the surface...was epic the were killing them ...the baitfish about 20 cm long were jumping out of the water as they were attacked ...the water around us had scales drifting through like glitter ...down at the pass right under the mainland marker another boil up ...would have being a stick chuckers dream ...

Well 300 gram pink lures as per normal ...thing was the kings were very shallow 60 70 ft was where the school was holding we had to tow them to deep water or lose gear ...and hungry and full of fight. They put the hurt on us that's for sure!

And you thought you were having a bad day...

Life just bit him in the arse!

Off early with @deer243 this morning to the abletasman for a fish and try to catch a early snapper.



We were early and had lines and burly in the water at change of light but fishing was hard! Lots of undesirables and few bin fish.
We tryed flasher rigs,straylines, longline,soft baits,slow jigs,micro,jigs,kaburas, sliders, kahawai trolling lures the works.
We tried on the sand we tried on the reefs we tried on the mud we tried deep and shallow and everything in between.

At least the weather was nice.



And I got a txt to pick up some fresh whitebait on the way home

Its bucketing down on the WET coast.

Had a pretty good day all up though.

Scooped up a few little fish this morning.





Then managed to land a few nice kahawai off the beach this afternoon.



Had a mean feed so now just sitting by the fire listening to the rain thumping down.

Happy days

Hunting and the weather have been getting in the way of going fishing of late but with today booked off work and rivers in flood fri/ sat and the wind coming up from midday today I opted to put the flounder net out rather than target snapper with all the fresh in close.

8 really good sized ones.....like early season size.

Spot the river flounder.
