    Just trickling through here on the Waikato, getting between 250g to a kg a day. No big catches anywhere.

    @veitnamcam and myself got out today, rain wind sun more rain , finally a bit of sun and calm and bugger me whitebait.
    Then rain and wind and sun again and a few more shoals .

    Got some, missed a few at the top of the as they spread out and were very jittery.

    Fantastic company and tasty snags and bacon. A trying but successful day. Nice to be in the river surrounded by friendly folks stopping for a chat and share local knowledge.

    Wow that a fantastic effort!

    Today was a perfect day good tide , still and clear and no bloody rain, got most of the first shoal thought things were looking up , then the smelt ( cucumber fish) ran and ran , couple of stragglers bait wise , between two of us we managed a small Pattie.
