    About 40yrs ago 3 of us were surfcasting opposite the south car park this time of the year.About 50 people way down at the mouth whitebaiting.We got 4 salmon each in about a hour at most.Salmon about 12 to 14 lb feeding in the area.Had a few whitebaiters looking in our direction.

    I remember the islander boys come up from Dunedin.Row their 12ft dingys across the lagoon to the mouth,north side.Fill the dingys up with kahawi and swim the dingys back to main land on to the trailor.Impressive watching 8 big natives pushing the truckntrails up the muddy ramp.Lot of fish went south in 4 dingys on trailors several times.

    Got our first 1lb this season, only 4 others at the Hoki bar after the rain. Best we have done all week. Blind scooping is hard work. Early night and back out tomorrow.

    I have had a couple of goes on the Moeraki river also known as the blue river up from Haast, did really well on one occasion.

    Yrs ago I caught 8lb at the Waita in one morning at top of lagoon.6 guys had 2 x20litre tins full of bait on each off their 4x4 bikes.There was hardly any freezer space left around Haast.Best they could sell bait to whole sales for
    was $22/kg.Each tin held about 20kgs.I keeped my 8lb and drove back to Queenstown.Yum

    Just about the best opening ever. First lift of the day. Ended up with 12kgs between the wife and myself fishing on two different stands.
