About AMac
Biography:
Currently living in Auckland as this is where my work has taken me, but my heart resides in Pelorus Sound! So fortunate that mum and dad built a Bach there in 1972 which my wife and I now own and our extended family all enjoy. Boat only access means mine is in a shed in Havelock so have taken up Yak fishing up here with moderate success so far. Not an enormously experienced hunter, 8 times to Stewart Island, a bit in southern alps and Marlborough - Lived in Wellington for 12 years and did well in the Rimutaka's an Ruahines. Getting out much from Auckland not quite as easy. Enjoy reloading and heading to the range as always meet good guys to have a yarn with.
Location:
Auckland
Interests:
Hunting, Boat and Kayak Fishing, Scuba Diving, cooking - Running to keep old legs fit.
Occupation:
GM of a Property Development and Modular Construction Company.

    All good. One from the archives. At this point in time, I was ONLY using inchikus, so they work! https://i.ibb.co/3s4NZcQ/1715522105.jpg

    AMac liked post by MB On thread : Slow Jigging snapper
    Slow jigging and vertical soft baiting is how I catch most of my fish. Honestly, I don't think the lure design matters that much. Colour maybe important, but I'm not totally convinced. That said, I...
