    why go all the way up there when you can catch these off the local beach????

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    ????????? Hoki or further south?

    I do tons of surfcasting at home and around the coast Aaron and I have never caught a snapper. My old man grew up on the coast and reckoned thats all they used to get.

    Jammy bastard, or are ya yankin my chain?

    Goin to the sounds coz I love the place. Even tho I am a crappy fisherman I still have a better chance of a snap up there
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    Snapper rig and advice for Kenepuru area

    Had a couple outings since we been here.
    No snaps just a few kawhia the kids caught. Dad is useless apparently!
    Very windy for the last couple days.
    Hoping to head out and meet up with Sneeze tomorrow sometime.
    Hopefully we get into some Snaps soon.

    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
    Fishing ... Hunting its all good
