    Out there doing it this morning...alarm went at 330am as I forgot to cancel yesterday's alarm and again at 5am...net deployed near the low and a mate coming into town to help pick it up a few hours later.



    Relaunching a few hours later to go pick up net and I spy a massive native log comeing in on the big tides so we went and lassoed it and towed it to shore then dragged it above high water with a vehicle..... imagine hitting this in the dark or even in your ski boat! Floating maybe 5-10percent above water.




    My net is absolutely poked from last winter and is more holes than net but I'm not fixing it yet while it is still catching more than I need.....25 large ones....one "diamond" or sand flounder....bit of a rarity for me.

    Got our shit together and decide to chase some flounder. Sunday night produced nought, but last night changed spots, on sunset with an incoming tide, got two nice fish, beaut night for it, except for an aggressive stingray that didn’t like us disturbing him!Name:  2A1F4BCB-6809-48E5-A595-6E925B6E99FF.jpeg

    Here is an FYI for some of you local fisherman interested in surf casting...

    As part of the Tasman bay estates subdivision they have been required to build a public walkway. There are some benifits to subdivision i guess




    That's it in the above picture, it will become public as soon as titles are granted which isn't far off.

    Its pretty cool as it cuts down this valley



    And access the beach right in the centre of the tasman bay bluffs.

    I'm pretty sure there might be some good fishing down there from time to time. I for one am definitely gunna give it a crack.

    Access and car parking is off deck road tasman

Well ...well ...well ....let's be brutally honest cluster fuck central came to town...birds going nuts all the way down stopped jigged trolled ...couta and horse kawahi...got to the pass ...current running perfect no devil pools solid lines ...excellent ...did a couple of drifts no joy..but marks on the sounder looking great!

    Then third drift...bang waaahoo hit a devil pool spun boat rods in holders on the back of the boat trying to keep line clear of rods etc etc etc kingi does a solid run bang gone ......drift out into the calm water ...rerig , new trace the works ...this time rods all out of the way ...start drift at 80 ft ..should run out to 140+ couple of drops still in 80 ft caught in a eddie swing us towards the shore get lure just below the boat out from underneath swings a beauty lure disappears into a black hole ...I yell a Lis deep water deep water ...10 seconds of thumb on reel hang on and pray ...got line one two three turns ...run run run bang gone .....a very sad me !

    Third time lucky ..by now my lad and his mates had joined us in another boat at the pass after terriorisg the local crays! Lisa hands me another lure and sees a price tag ( amature mistake) ...now I'm getting the this fishing is expensive look...the other boat hooks up they yelling come close ...not that close bloody hell ...dropped lure ...three winds bang deep water Lis deep water ...all under control boated a nice king ...then the boys light up yelling go over for a look ...huge shark has just snacked on their second king and is holding onto the left overs..they are enjoying every second....me yeah na thanks fellas ...the shark got wise to the fact he was being teased and ghosted away!
