    There is a small group of guys who target kings from shore with the fly over golden bay way, very seasonal and spot specific but they get a few legal fish on.

    Saltwater fly based in Tauranga specialise in fly fishing for kings. Far better hook up rate than even a livey they say

    Their videos are awesome. They look for rays and the kingis are following them.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Heavy is good. Action is determined y head shape * retrieve speed. 6-1 is good. Weight can be adjusted by internal ballast and position. Hook size , shape, weight and position also affect performance, as does trace weight, flexibility, attachment method, position and length.

    We do that here a bit later in the season, we call them ray riders they wait for the ray to spook fish and pounce! Lots of flounder in their guts.

    The main thing I have against trout fishing is you have to pay those fish and game wankers for a licence.
    Well @7mmwsm you clearly haven't eaten south island high country trout
    Caught and cooked fresh
    Floured and fryed in butter
    Absolutely fantastic

    I especially like to catch and cook the first of the day in the lake or river side.
    Carry the jet boil and frypan
    Then a cup of jet boil coffee
    Life is good

    Actually even better is a fire in the beach and planked trout fillets.
    Find some flatish drift wood and whittle some sharp pegs to hold the skin down on the plank.
    Place by fire where its just to hot for your hand.
    Eat off the plank when cooked

    Great way to warm up when winter lake fishing

    @7mmwsm.
    Trout fishing is an art form, modt especially in clean crisp rivers. Grin @Gibo. Yes, some sea critters will eat trout sized baits but interestingly an analysis done on Marlin gut content revealed 90+% of their food was around pilchard sized; much like the trout diet comprising very small insects and nymphs.
    Like trout, sea fish taken from very clean water generally are best eating.
    Tight lines guys
