    Any decent snapper I have caught or seen in my region the teeth are all worn down to nubs.

    It's variable from fish to fish. I can't see any pattern based on geography or time of year. The fish in the photo was a predator, it followed the jig up from the sea bed at 50 metres and nailed it at 30 metres. I was watching it on the fishfinder!

    I reckon its just a young fat fish. He will be into the shellfish no doubt, just hasnt been doing it long enough to damage the points

    And the reason I say young is that the pecs are still quite short

    Hook in to Whangamata and give the locals shit Gibo.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Took Dad out for a fish yesterday in my boat prospecting for a snapper,its still too early yet up this end of the bay but had to have a look.
    Dropped a longline in 16m and 33m.
    Cod fished in the same spot as last time with the boy.....same same the passenger side of the boat caught most of the fish and we must have cleaned out the big ones last time as we struggled to get 3 decent ones and moved off to check lines.
    16m a couple of really good sized gurnard one cod eaten in half and 5 or 6 spiky dogs.
    33m , one gurnard eaten, one sand shark,23 spiky dogs I know the snapper are there....maybe not in numbers yet but when the sharks are so numerous and hard on the feed there is no chance for a snapper to get your bait.
    Gurnard fished but was really hard going.....no tide to take out burly and no wind at all to drift. Literally a 2 ounce sinker on the line ankored the boat.
    We got a feed for the family each but was slow going.....totally forgot to take any pictures.


    Today got the other boat out and put the net out.

    Well we went down as far as bottle point , bait schools on the sounder on the way down , dolphins and birds killing a shoal...couldn't get the old man to to stop for a Jig .....Farrrk ...down to brim , terakhei mark ..sounder was showing fish, rigged small hooks two terakhie then big fat blue cod ...way off the structure

    headed over to bottle point , dropped on a bait school ...coutta , snakes and southern sail fish ..moved more bait more of the same..up the coast to a carrot patch huge spikies ..biggest went 5 ft long along with a handful of carrots ...

    Wonderful weather wonderful company ....the fishing will come ...I hope my catching comes along with it ...managed shit fish all day...plus an empty tackle box as the snakes took great care of all of my shiny stuff!
