Thread: Snapper rig and advice for Kenepuru area

if fishing is slow and you are getting baits raided 3/0 re-curve flashers are great for the kids... even got some pretty decent snaps etc on those and you can rod holder catch fish with them easy enough...will catch smaller fish though and you want get much time to fish if you are removing hooks...bring in more bait fish too

I usually have a re-curve 4-6/0 flasher in the rod holder and a stray line on the go at once...unless it really slow like last week when I had 4 flasher rigs out and one stray line....and I was the only one on the boat. I got a couple of rays to the boat without a tangle...might have been fun if a kingi hooked up
So much current in the Manukau the Kahawai often don't tangle up too much.

If you have a rocket launcher and you get a small kahawai or mackril in chuck a hook up thru the nose and chop the top of its tail fin off (to keep it up top) flick it out with little drag and put the rod in the launcher out of the way ...might pick up something big...if its not too deep a big snap might even pop up for a munch. Kingi's down there isn't there
