Was fishing outside of sound on the way to D’Urville so not that far away from tasman bay as the seagull flies

Hi Shearer interesting to see your success with such a tiny jig i am intrigued - how deep are u fishing these and what line weights?
This summer had little success with 100-180gm jigs but last year...

Crikey a lot of tackle shops don’t have that many in stock !
Cod cuda gurnard snaps and kahawai will love them.
Maybe kingies too - I haven’t caught a legal kingi yet so can’t say yay or nay on...

Thanks for the info.

Yes that works- when I lived in Wellington I learnt the hard way when fishing the south coast where the combination of wind and tide has your anchor rope so taught u could walk down it.

The beauty...

Same I drift fish most of time too. At long last got a boat with an anchor winch but I am paranoid about hooking up to the bottom on rocky areas, so hardly used it lol

Got one on a soft bait once but reckon that was a fluke.
Live baiting for kingies with weight holding the bait on the bottom has produce zero kings but a few JD.
Then there the ones when bait...

Might be worth live baiting in the area you got that one. Such great eating !

Fishing next weekend for me!:thumbsup: taking a few of my work mates down to the bach for the weekend

It's weird to fry, the flesh seems so dense that it is hard to get cooked through - Bro in law fried some up inside the bach and gawd what a stink my wife has never let him forget about the pong. But...
