Good fish

It's been a while since I posted here, but with covid lockdowns and a young son there hasn't been a lot to report. But Thursday was one for the archives.

I dropped my son off at daycare on the way to the ramp and was on the water shortly after 9am. We whipped across the gulf, making the trip from Mangawhai to Great Barrier Island in a little under an hour and a half.

The diving was great. There was pleasant vis and enough current to keep the fish in the right areas. Between 4 of us, we ended up with a good binful and I managed a couple of solid fish in the late afternoon.

A big day on the water saw us back at the ramp at 7:30pm with a heap of filleting to do.

Two biggest snapper went 10.1kg and 7.3kg

All big baz up in the brokens. Viz was terrible at lil b so got dressed and took pics instead. No scallops were looked for but I know where beds are at both places

Epic thread going on here guys - some impressive fish! Bloody jealous of you guys that live near the east coast. I'm in Taranaki and just don't get too many opportunities to dive here due to the conditions and lack of viz! Hanging out for the waters to clear up shortly and get onto some kingis. Keep your pics coming, enjoying them 👍
