Can't be a bad as winding up a heavy rig with a couple 15kg Bluenose on from 450m.

I have caught GTs on small gear.
I also don't think the ones down our way are much over 100cm

Electric reels are the answer from that deep. Hauled up some ling from 4-500 odd metres. Electric reel made it very easy.

Was out today between Motiti and Plate. 7 good snapps, 3 Terakihi, 2 giant gurnard and a golden snapper for 2.5hrs.

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.

Did you eat the greyboy? I think I caught one last time I was out but wasn't too sure so I threw it back in, it was a big one as well.

Big grey boys eat well.....just treat em like any shark and head and gut/tail immediately and get on ice till you can fillet and steak(if big)

No we let it go. They are good eating but I have only tried smaller ones.
Rig are plentiful here so greyboys dont usually find their way to my plate.

Caught some beauties, terakihi, trevally, a mako and my favorite snapper best being about 12lbs.
Good day with the boy and old fella.

Well myself and a forum member went bait soaking today, weather was what the weather was...but the fishing was average out of okiwi up to Delaware where the snapper were last week apperntly...red cod, horse kawahai and spikies...down the coast tried a variety of depths and spots.

Water temp well up finally got a legal blue cod then the forum member chucked ( dropped it over the side) it back whilst measuring it. Eat tucker had a brew or three of tea, grabbed a feed of mussels. Home

Never seen a green penguin before but today we shared some time with one.. interesting wee creatures burbing and farting then after a bit the lose concionius in the front of your boat, though they do respond to "mate you have a fish on with enthusiasm" ...

Cheers to the forum member for a great day out and my daughter for her paitence! A hard days fishing but a fantastic memory all the same.

The gunnels is a bloody stupid place to put your fish measuring device anyway

Thanks for yet another great day out, despite all the above

I did try to convince the skipper that I was merely trying to ensure that he would have the chance to recatch it when it HUGE

Well I finally got @deer243 out for a fish this morning.
Conditions were fantastic but the fishing was tough.



Lots of baby grey boys and not much else at the prime time of day and tide prompted a change of depth, finally a nice fat snapper on the strayline and a big gurnard boated but then we run out of tide and the shit fish turned up.

Saved by the longline we come in to escape the heat with 6 fat snaps(bloody lost one at the boat it snapped the trace ) and a few gurnard.

Coming in "the cut"
