    Frenchpass, back beach Nelson , westcoast as sounds like snapper are in. Kaikoura off the beaches ..hell if you can make Nelson I could swing a day off and either surfcast or take the boat out.

    Bruce Bay or any river mouth close by, it's only a days drive from where you are
    Beautiful place , wind swept beach, place to sit and clear the head.

    Cheers. The Mrs said go get us some fish, so I did! Her normal line is no more bloody fish! To be honest, at this time of year in Northland, you'd have to really try to NOT catch snapper.

    Nice one.
    How are you fishing the microjigs?
    What sort of depth and bottom?
    I fish up north a bit out of Tauranga Bay. Usually target snapper over shallow foul at the change of light with softies.

    Fish microjigs up to 30g just like softies. Casting forward on the drift. Usually 8 - 20 metres, sometimes 30 metres if I'm not drifting too fast, or too lazy to change jigs. Always over sand, foul is asking for trouble.

    Bring it to the forum trip.
    Funny season this year....my side of the bay has been terrible fishing.
    Mid feb and im sitting with an incoming tide and burly going out over the bar in front of rabbit/Monaco and not one single bite.....usually at this time of year the chilly bin would be full of pannies in an hour.

    At least its good to see not much wind on the water. The firefighters will be happy.

    I heard of several good tuna catches from yesterday out off awaroa about the 40m mark.

    Also people are still picking up snapper off the back of adele island at about 30 odd meters.

    I'm working today otherwise i would be definitely towing lures !!

    You can keep your tuna.
    Its nice fresh chilled with soy and wasabi so thats one fish.....what to do with the rest? Lotta fuel to catch bait imo.
