The setline had one snapper, 5 gurnard, couple big kawhawai and some spiky dogfish.
Another 2 boats fishing the 30m mark got 17 snapper on a setline , and one got 8, with a couple 10lbers on rods

Good on ya @deer243

She's a bloody healthy fishery all right. We are super lucky there.

I really wish they would lower the longline limit per boat from 2 down to 1 tho. We just dont need two!!

Long may it continue ah

It was choked with very very good bugs! Took 5 had silted up badly so safety first exited the second entrance. No snapper on hook line no spikes either so pretty much a draw, handful of cod then the heat turned on so we headed home.
Daughter came down so out this morning slayed another feed of cod a few carrots from the hook line (cheers VC) for your knowledge. Head in clean up pack up home. Attachment 100993

Yeah I'm just jealous. They were not around when I caught most of my Bluenose and as you probably know winding them up from 400m gets old pretty fast

Taking some crab and squid for a swim

There is a lot of Top of the South fishing knowledge floating around this thread , so can I pick everyones brains for a minute .
I’m going to treat myself to a new Reel setup this Christmas and will be wanting to purchase it from somewhere in Nelson .
What Reel/line combo would you guys reccomend to get for boat fishing in the Marlborough Sounds for general use , chasing Cod / Snapper / Gurnard etc .
Budget of $400 max $300 would be better .
Also reccomendations of where to buy from in Nelson area ?

Go and see the guys at Big Blue, down by the port. They are good buggers and know the fishing in the area
