Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Out of Raglan on Sunday

Nice fish

I havent had a rod in my hand for a while but have been floundering a bit.

Spent a while with the surf caster in hand today, upper SI west coast.

Got plenty of kahawai, mostly released but kept 1 for tea.

Still waiting on the first west coast beach caught snapper, its getting closer tho

Never ceases to amaze me just how much weed a net can catch in a matter of minutes.

Much flounder/weed? Seen people there doing it a few times but they only got a couple when I have seen them.

not that I could see as we walked across to the western side, wandered out and the across the outlet then down the beach and back across the eastern side, few rays though i counted 6-7 coming up the mouth (their fins were breaking the surface)

They catch some BIG stingrays too.when I launched oneday two drags ended releaseing rays.

Out wide tomorrow with my regular fishing buddy* on his boat. We’ll do some deep drops for bluenose/hapuka/broadbill, then troll back for marlin.

In all honesty, I get more of a buzz from casting softies at snapper in the shallows from my ski, but you can’t turn opportunities like this down.



*I shot four rabbits at his place tonight, so got some brownie points.

As seen on TV .. @Shearer down at F/pass chucking poppers off the rocks chasing kings ..met me at Okiwi good Friday mid day ...out to VCs spot to dig some carrots
@Shearer on the bait ..the line of death 3 hooks ..two carrots at a time


result



Rest ..just cool photos



Huge horse kaiwhai 60 plus a sharked burley pot ...then 20+ years in the making ..I get a snapper under a school of feeding kaiwhai..... On a fucking lure .. @Shearer take a bow you win ...

Finally what are these ...blue bottles have long tenticles these are just flat we buggers ...juvies?

More to follow but huge cheers to shearer for his humor. What afternoon of absolute memorises

I chucked the flounder net out Sunday evening...got some nasty gumboot chafing from wading along the net clearing weed.
