Pretty thin in our waters these days. Used to get onto them and it would be two at a time for a few hours. Saturday we got 3 over about 4 hours.
Yea they used to be the reliable winter catch here but I cant remember the last time I even caught one!Quote:

Plenty of Tarakihi around here. :P Attachment 91645 @Gibo stop looking for bills. :D
They aint the biggest, but the sweetest tasting, get a limit in a couple of hours. :cool:
Well the waters we call the middle ground from Tga heading out to Motiti sure aren’t what they used to be
Its ok when his area is overfished we will just say it is all good here bro :thumbsup:Quote:
