alot more casting and shorter bite times but when they do eat it's all on! like an hour of a fish a cast then nothing till the next period, always seem to be around the last 2hrs before low. also seem to get bigger fish, and I wonder if they are territorial as well because the fly fishing guys down in tga are catching tagged kings 3 or 4 times

Smart Marine are running a seminar on top water fishing on 5 Sept in Tauranga. Maybe just a big sails pitch but maybe not.

Mean man, been fishing that stretch in a dinghy a bit recently, always seems to be something around. The end under the lights can be productive at night too

Something I wanted to do with you, but I’m afraid I may of left my run a bit late

Only just saw that post Boz. I do it most mornings if you are still able
