yum:cool:
Keep fishing. Smoke a few.
Indeed it was yum, I could have smoked it but that meant waiting another 24 hours while it was being cured for the smoker then another 24 hours for it to be made into smoked fish pie and we were hanging for a feed of fresh fish so baked it was and that is how we are going to do it again with the next kahawai.Quote:

Yup also just need to hit a really good bite time not a poor one lol. Might be heading east coast for an evening fish this coming weekend when there will be a really good bite time so hopefully catch a bit more than one fish.
caught a few snaps and golden snapper behind Motiti isl on Saturday, also had a very productive scolly dive as well
Bloody good work.Quote:

Good work Hunter ,fresh Kahawai that size is great baked or pan fried.
No weed last Thursday at Spot-x ,same result as you.
Up the coast might be a go next weekend.
How do you know there will be a really good bite time?
Actually @Chris I am thinking seriously about heading to Whiritoa this saturday night mate.
@veitnamcam this is how I know if there is a good bite time :P

The all time best way to catch fish is to go fishing.
Pure genius!Quote:

Combined with the old traditional Moari way of working the tides / bite time .
It has been working for me since I tried it last weekend been two years going fishing and coming home empty handed and tired of it, hell I even hooked a fish on a soft bait last weekend fishing from the beach and the guys from fish city tried to laugh me out of the shop when I said what I was going to do.Quote:
