Like being in a shopping mall, very clear and very little happening. The only guy I saw doing well was super gluing salmon pellets onto his hook...:wtfsmilie:
I will leave it to the masses and go through the winter period. I did hook something but it dropped off after 3-4 seconds.
I think the fish are that hassled with constant lures, flies, softbaits etc that they just turn there nose up at 99% of the stuff presented to them.

Are you going to show off the next biggest one.... the one that you used a shark hook and someone else’s giant hands to hold it

Two small rainbows of the Pohangina tonight, the water was perfect crystal clear and quite a few fish about. They were however spooked easily, spotted a decent sized fish in one of the pools but it wouldn't take anything I put in front of it.

the good wife and I took tea and sat by lake drowning worms for an hour n half last night...didnt need to catch any just needed to "go fishing" saw 4 trout going past with finger in the air and has 3 foot long eel on my line when wound in.....politely released it to fight another day.

Been having a lot of luck on the tassie devil lately.Attachment 102746Attachment 102747Attachment 102748Attachment 102749Attachment 102750Attachment 102751Attachment 102752

Those spin max or known as Obession in another brand work bloody well, tassie have always been great too.

we rig our tassies the same way or use a snap swivel between the hook and lure when trolling in the boat.

Manawatu River has turned into a weed infested waterway with water temperature hitting 25 degrees

Yeah rock snot everywhere at the moment

Lost another tassie devil to a willow so tried the black majic spinmax.
