    Here's a goodie a mate scored jigging last weekend in Waihora (Taupo)
    That's kg, not lbs..



    We scored a heap including several over 2.1kg in the same area about two weeks before that.

    Dunno about your scales but I trust his (and him)

    The fish condition is massively improved in Taupo compared to say three years ago, let alone 6-8. The reason was obvious when you netted them- they were just spewing smelt

    Parked up at what I thought was too deep, 70m, just wanted to test the wind drift but though I would toss the line in, as it hit the bottom I hooked up. First drop of the day!

    I've all next week off and the weather looks pretty shit to go bush. A trip to Taupo looks worth the effort. That's a cracker of a fish.
