Snapper Hunting

Just got back from a Surfcasting trip to Hawkes Bay. Had hot sunny weather as they do up there. Sea was beautiful and the fish were biting. 4 of us caught 11 Snapper and 6 Gurnard aswell as a heap of Lemons. Unfortunatley a Southerly came and we headed home early.


We had a bit of gear

Good to see you made it here Mike.

Good fishing Ross. :cool:

Thinking of doing a similar trip myself over Waitangi weekend.

Not much happening Shootm, fishing been getting worse over last month. Fish seem to have gone out wide ,
just wonder if is the crap from the Rina starting to effect the inshore fishery.

Caught a few latex gloves last weekend.

Well done,they are some nice fish:cool:
