    Should be good after the rain, saw a good fish landed from the pipe yesterday as we went by on the boat. My Mates are staying over there for a few days, they got a 6lber tonight jigging, said the wind dropped off.

    They had a bloody good day then ah !!!!

    I caught up with my Dad today he showed me a photo from his mate who landed two of those bluefin out off Waihau last weekend.

    First one hit the shotgun, next one they all saw come up and hit a lure 6m behind the boat. Two on at once

    That shit is what my dreams are made of. You lucky buggers

    Yeah its a very cool fishery and yes very lucky to get amongst it. I saw the first one we dropped at the boat hit the lure, was epic! Both of ours took the long riggers
