This time of year you will more likely need to go up to Stephens

If you are there and the current is favorable it would be rude not to have a go.....Id say you still have a good chance of getting some in the pass.....but a better chance at the passage or clay point.

Since I've only got the 1 day I might just commit to going right up to the passage straight off rather than fluffing around in close then, cheers.

Out yesterday evening with @stingray and the import.
Beautifully warm and Windless.


We scraped up a bakers dozen good sized flounder.

I’ve seen two 27lbers off Nelson caught. Mates a legend though. I am not sure if they were packies however but they were way bigger that what these locals leave around these NI waters lol.

Wicked photo of a young fisho enjoying himself!

Lis , my daughter and I went for a cod bash, forecast wonderful but crew short of time. North down the coast , bashed six very respectable cod, had a swim looking over new turf pretty dismal result, tried an old haunt plenty of good country no crays though, seems they have abandoned the place along with the Moki and large cod!

Tried a digging some carrots at 30 meters , small tides with very little current to spread the burley, landed and released 3 horse cod , spikes came on the chew and frustrated me to the point I refused to fish anymore! Line down thump spikey , keep it off the bottom the barstards swam up to swallow your bait!

Pulled the pin early, home ....sun came out for and hour as we washed the boat , dive gear and cleaned the fish. The weather set in to drizzle and cold damp.
Fire and beer time!

Good day at Mayor, koheru on mini softbaits was fun

Definitely not the prettiest critter in the world! The fish looks fine though. Ha ha ha ha

Nice fish @Gibo

Well I got a half decent snapper on a 500gm kingi jig, but no kings. Good to go for a look amongst the 8m boats in the dinghy

From what I heard you did better than most of the 8 meter boats up there, sounds like fishing was very slow.

My good lady has abandoned me for the rest of the week, so contacted the usual suspect told him I had a full tank of air and no commitments...so away we went this evening, found the vis very average but headed to a mark we haven’t checked since we found it. Down by torch light , missed the rock got compass out went east , south , north bloody west ...found one lone cray in a stupid spot ..grabbed the poor we bugger.

Up moved to new turf, sounder promised up and downs , got to the bottom cracks caves and holes wicked ...rolled over the top of a rock feelers ...beauty ..now came the tits up ..keep the light on him an grab him or go in with both hands ..both hands in dim light reckon he saw me coming ...should have spotlighted the bugger and slammed him. Any way he swam sideways into his mate ruining my second option ..so a tits up all round ...swam around great turf so many holes and cracks even a swim through cave ..just no bugs ...into the boat to the delight of VC as chasing my bubbles in marginal light is far from easy.

Rang the boss how’s work looking ...pretty thin , want to take a day? ...yip ..so we’re back into it tomorrow ..hire a couple of tanks and lesson learnt will get a bright bouy and some rope attach it the catch sack so VC can see me in the dark.
