feburary, just wanted to poet the pic, its easy to say ya got a 22pounder from the beach but without a photo, words sometimes don't mean much, fishing is still good up here, probly be good for afew more weeks but the temps are dropping rapidly.
havnt even managed a gurnad yet this season?
where have all the gurnad gone?

A guy caught a 23lb'er at whakamahia (Wairoa beach) right off the car park. Dad works in one of the local fishing shops said a few guys hes talked to have got a few snapper over 20lbs. I went with my uncle only managed a Kahawai.

awesome, havnt heard of any biggies that way recently, usually word gets around surfcasting msg boards etc.
mitve been a wairoa local?

Still getting those bigger ocean run Kahawai(blue backs) snapper seem to have down sized with a big 1 only 1.5 kg down to just legal length .Kahawai fat with row though ,getting the freezer stocked up with smoking fish.
