Thread: Surfcasting off Pukehina

We just got back from an afternoon evening fish off Pukehina and had a bit of success. Fishing has been good and the last three times out have netted fish, a couple of nice snapper in the 43 cm range.
Just on the change of light to night I hooked a nice eater (43 CM) and with a few small Kawhai have enough for a good meal. It was a perfect evening the sea was all but flat with little wind and not to cold.
just as we packed up and I wound in my line I realized I had a fish on and and it felt as good as the one I had caught but as he came into the breakers ( what breakers there were)
he got off, damn the one that got away.
Have to go back for another go soon especially when the conditions are like they were today.
