Il show you when you get here, soft baits work anywhere.
Cheers, that would be great. Probably wouldnt be a good idea to have a hook in my one until I manage to get it near the water:DQuote:

So ya can catch them up there? Would a baited opera trap work good enough?

Try the north side of the entrance about 300 yards into the sound about where the large clay looking boldery looking stones on the shore are...you maybe supprised.
why go all the way up there when you can catch these off the local beach????

Piper are certainly great bait.... I also use long strips of mullet with two hooks and the last 3rd of the bait left to float (no hook that low) and split the last 3rd length ways so it moves more in the current.... even kingies love this, stray lined back in to foul.
Fresh Kahawai skinned did me well on Sunday as well with a good hookup rate, no need to scale the fish when skinned and while its fresh it stays on the hook well and no stubborn skin to remove ;)
Dumb question time leathel.
Are your hooks opposing with one free running or are they around the same way?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk.
I snell the hooks together facing the same way, 5-6/0 is the size I use depending on how thick the mullet or Kahawai strip is.. Hook the bottom hook in first... In the Manukau I get a fair few Stingrays with it as well
I use the same rig for pillies with the top hook in the head ...3/4 or whole pillies
Fishdehook.com - Home page - Fishermans Mate Fish Hook Removal Tool
I have a shorter version of that hook tool and its brilliant for removing gut hooked rays...even use it for lip hooked ones as you dont need to bring it in the boat :)
Cheers D I will give that a go. Kids caught some small kawhia.
I need all the help I can get and haven't even had the boat on the plain yet.....lol

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 :P
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 :D
I have it on good authority there is kingis.
I have some of those flasher rigs. Do you bait them?
