Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

I actually think dredgeing on certain bottom types is fine maybe even benificial.....the one place left in tasman bay with scollops is was and has been relentlessly dredged and its the only place that still has them in any numbers.

Yip happy with that

Dredged this beauty up outa Tauranga on Sunday. Tagged n released.

Nice fish Beeman and D you deserved it in the seas you had to brave.

What a cracker !!!! looks like a mill pond to , we are biding our time down here the kingy,s turned up in bluff this year...only a matter of time

The day they caught was good the next day it was about 3 meter swell.

Stuck at work today fishing tomorrow

Having a dither about whether to go offshore for game fish, weather certainly looks good enough, or play it safe and go for snapper.

Another 50 points for the club, by catch on a marlin lure.

After a fantastic time last weekend at the top of the south forum fishing trip this morning should have seen me struggling back to the truck with a pack full of veni but best laid plans and all that....slept in then thought I should work on my boats but using them seemed more fun ,especially with a flat sea and no wind.
Waited round for another young fella to be dropped off and we were on the water at midday in the punishing sun and humidity......boys wanted to target big snaps rather than pannies so into the deep we went.
I could have filled 10 firewood trucks and a couple of apple bins with all the debris from 20-30m.... @kukuwai should keep all his rubbish over his side of the bay

Was slow starting at the top of the tide with a few spikys and kahawai and rat kings then finally some snaps turned up.

Young fellas first snap.





Mini me with a weird look on his face.



We did ok considering time of day for a couple hours then it was time to pull the longline in for....lots of spiky dogs...one nice snap and one gurnard....



Boosted it for the bar I thought I was running late with a deck full of spikys.....big tides and shit it was standing up on the bar! Snuck round the worst of it without stuffing the bow in and we were in to deal to spikeys and gut the rest of the fish.

All in all not bad for a couple of hours in the middle of the day.
