Thread: good haul from wairarapa

went out for a fish yesterday since the forecast was for light winds upto 5knts. we got out there to find a 25knt wind that was ment to raise to 50knts according to another group who had just talked to the coastguard. we decided to head out anyway but no go very far. we managed a good haul of blue cod, some upto 45cm long. a few terries and a dozen fucking barracuta after about an hour and a half we called it quits.

Great haul there

On the bite eh! Nice work. Common to get b/cod up there then???

Common??? The excess gets sent to the south

theyre so common they become a pain the arse when trying to get anything else. tried about 5-10m off the bottom to get a few more terries to only get more blue cod. no that im complaining tho theyre great to eat

Where are you launching from?

went out again today for a swim, did ok with the paua and moki but not a bug in sight.

tora/te awiti, or ngawi depending on the wind. each is as good as the other.

It's a ruggered Coast down that way, have hauled some Paua from White Rock? And done a bit of fishing down Ocean Beach, Lake Ferry, Ngawi and Ning Nong Bay in my younger years, and Castlepoint

yeah i love it down here the further south you go the better it gets. ocean beach is a bloody nice spot to throw a line in its one of my favourites the diving is pretty good to crays galore.

Remember the steep road in and cooking PAUA and Crays on a piece of corrugated iron one day. Are any of the baches left there now?

yeah still lots of batches there, nice doc campground too. often see guys fishing in the little bay when coming back thru from a hunt
