Interesting thing is if @Sarvo can't get em in the inner sounds what does that mean? Do they just not go there anymore? Id be interested in peoples thoughts.

It is an interesting question alright......
Has the inner sounds ever been a great snapper fishing area?...yes I know they have always been caught and traditionally some very large specimens are caught but even back in the 60s-70s Tasman bay was far more prolific than the sounds.
Some good fish were caught up til new year on Marlborough fishing groups but I havent followed much since.

A mate of mine was beach seining the sounds for snapper in the 80s...tho I think that was more outer sounds...will pick whats left of his brains when I next catch up with him.

New waka. Cool little beast. Been a bit of swell so no spearing but have been trying the wishing sticks in the harbour. Managed a few feeds and has the added advantage of being able to drink beers while fishing....

Dog also approves

F14 beach launch frewza. Running a 40 suzi 2 banger. Goes all good. No real mods so far, will use it for a bit then work out what I want to change/improve.

Better than workin tho ?

8am. Cam and I got our two boys out this morning for an outing. It was an idyllic calm morning, one that looked to be the ideal day to be on the water, Cam had talked of heading out and chasing Snapper while the flounder net did its work, but the forecast told stories of wind and choppyness so after the flounder net was deployed we went for a cruise and elected to park up on a remote and deserted beach for a bit as the tide came in, the boys did what boys do dug holes threw stuff, ate stuff. The older boys watched the water and the stingrays coming and going near the shoreline while we gas bagged and waited for a bit of water to come in. Comments were made speculating about the flounder net getting hammered by the rays.
Cam had loaded his sea biscuit in the Tinny Punt and he spent an hour or so towing the boys around in the channel, we only had one body overboard off the biscuit, but what a way to spend the morning. We eventually loaded up and trundled back up the channel to recover the flounder net. One flounder, followed by a stingray, bugger. Then a few more flounder and a couple more stingrays filled the net so a quick retrieve and we were away. 8 eaters and 3-4 Rays so not a huge haul but more than enough for a couple of beaut feeds.
No fish photos but heaps of the boys playing on the sea biscuit.
Thanks for the trip out Cam.

Sounds like a great day out. Nets and longlines are great, it's like a lucky dip to see what you get when your hauling them in.
