Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

My Wanganui Sweet Spot -
We used to live in Palmy and along with other places we would fish out of the Wanganui River mouth – a light NE wind with an outgoing anticyclone worked well
Before the days of GPS sounders – we used markers off the local coast and back to the ranges – pretty rough to mark a spot but it sometimes worked well and there were heaps of cod around
I recall one day finding a slimy mould covered buoy floating on the surface – so I picked it up and rolled up the line and grapple – we then put the rods over and all hell broke loose – big blues and plenty of them – but in those days no GPS to record it
But we found our sweet spot around 1999 when we were fishing off the Wanganui coast – and we had a sounder to record the coordinates
I have an old Wanganui friend who fished out of the Wanganui River for most of his life – I gave him these coordinates and he also enjoyed the results for many years – I called him a few days back and found he has sold his boat and now just fishes off the beach with a drone – he left his sounder in the boat with all his sweet spots – so there may be others who now know my spot – it is listed as my name “F…… O.. Cod spot”
I left Palmy about 16 years ago so never went back to fish out through Wanganui River mouth
From memory this spot is about 10km out and a bit north of Wanganui – picture of an old friend from Palmy pulling up the cod this day in fabulous conditions
So here is my sweet spot - I hope someone can try it out and enjoy it like we did!
