Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Instant action = Happy kids and my girl gets sea sick so a quick trip to catch some pannies was the mission this am.

Little miss "I never catch anything"



Boy boated the first fish a nice gurnard then my soft bait rod set up as a strayline took off....a good size snapper on it but on the light gear I couldnt muscle it in and I had two kids lines and a burly pot all in the way.....I got colour but when it saw the boat it took off under it....10pound braid is no match for a rough propeller

The girl boated a nice brim and then another and another....when you take your kids fishing you dont get to do much fishing yourself as constantly baiting/netting/untangleing lines.

An hour and a bit and we were done with plenty of fish for us and to give to freinds.

Good stuff Mikee
Been a while since I saw a big boof head snap like the top pick.....the bigger fish I have got recently have been smooth head like the bottom pick.

No joy on the mud fish,lake like glass , primo day in all . Ski biscuit got a work out girls are stuffed . Hunting & fishing is hard work

Had a great day in Haast today. Left home at zero dark thirty. Finished cleaning up the fish at 11:30 pm tonite.

Seen a few crested penguins out in the open water.
Had 2 whales not far away. Flukes were huge but unsure of what type they were.
Some deer even.

Mate caught a rather large Gurnard, and we had heaps of Jock Stewarts, some big blue cod, a Bluenose and spotty dogs, kahawai and a huge greyboy.
Was enjoying the day too much to take many pics. And they would likely give my spots away.
Got all the way to the Cascade river and back to Jacksons on one 20l caddy with heaps of running around I between.

Good luck. Pretty sure we seen some kingis as well. Have been told they have been caught where we were but only found that out today so my hunch they were kingi might be right.

I dont have the gear but will get some as a south west land Kingi would be tops.

I have never caught a kingi but bought/ordered some gear today. Will go down again in a couple weeks to give them a nudge.

If you have never had the pleasure of catching one, I think you may be the one getting nudged They sure aint no blue cod
