Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Got the flounder net out Friday, despite excellent weather and tides it was very weedy for some reason and I only got 3. Was nice tho.

Go the flounder dog
Maybe a stormy at sea a few days ago and dislodged the weed to fill ya net. I set a mullet net in the Foxton river a while ago, but there was a heap of weed and crap washing down from a big rain up river and caught nothing but weed.

Sunday session ...
Barometer off the scale...hitting highs like a champion...out early southerly puffing...tried a quick drop on carrot patch , sharked to death .....so drifted down the coast ..ran over some sign that looked good ...next few hours was epic ...largest cod went 53.5 cm ...john dory was a close second ...pannie brim .. couple of turkeys to close. Couple of very solid runs on stray line one hook up dropped one diffenatly cotta. But what a day with family.

Sorry shit photos salty fingers killing fish and baiting hooks

Awesome
Bloody good size cod and a Johnny how good.

A winter bonus on a boys day out ( Mum at work)

Happy days.

Well looks like my floundering days are over Thanks to Sage and Nash.
Thinking about converting Tinny Punt into a flounder spotlighting gunship but would need keen/reliable crew.
Anyone want to buy a flounder boat?

Teach them to fish for them with a line, the smallest hook you can find and a sweet corn kernel for bait. A can of cream style sweet corn for burly. That’d be fun as for the young one.

Mate tell him the old man on the forum says yes the eat canned corn and also canned peas. Had hours of fun doing it as a young fella up the top of the top end of the Whangamata harbour as the tide turned and was coming in if I am remembering correctly) A can of whole kernel (Bait) and another can of cream style (Burly) is a cheap way of fishing as a kid. We used light line and a small sprat hook with no sinker ( so it followed the burley). Doesn’t need to be flash as a hand line will do but a kids light sprat rod is good as well.

Well naturally I was out this morning, using my brand new slung 6.5 inch mesh net.
A bit of inclement weather sure puts off most of the punters.
The only other netter about today is a local who keeps a bloody close eye on me and my catches from his lounge.
He said Im only pretty new at this because I have only been netting this estuary and looking at it out of my window for the last 45 years but I have never seen any Dolphins in here in that time.
Anyway he got 20 running 5.5"mesh and I got six running 6.5" mesh...
The bigger fish have gone deep to spawn.

You and me both bro, might even give it another go tomorrow

Bit bloody windy this morning and a tad wet.


I was the only one out on this side, got 7 and dropped a couple more out of the net.
