Thread: fishing in the Marlborough sounds

Hi guys, I am heading to Picton for a week on the 17th for a week of fishing with a mate who has a boat moored in Picton. He hasn't really got a clue about fishing, so was wondering if anyone can give a tip on where is a good place to fish in the Marlborough sounds. He reckons the water has gone a bit green and there are no fish about in Pelorus or around Picton. Does anyone know if it's gone a bit poos or has all the recent boat traffic driven the fish out of the area temporarily ?. I suggested we motor to the edge of the Straight and have a go there but he reckons it gets a bit lumpy there.
He wants to concentrate on hunting, but I'm a bit keener to have a go fishing off a big boat since my one is a bit of a tiddler.
Obviously not after anyone's spots, but just a general idea of the techniques to use in the sounds.
