So what's happening with the Fishing:
 We have experienced some erratic fishing this year as the snapper are still spawning. The numbers are not that great but when they are on the bite there are some sood size snapper coming thorugh.
We seem to be plagued by large numbers of juveniles that hang around everywhere you go. The bait stealers are there charging for the bait and outbeating the lathargic larger snapper.
We find a good sign on the sounder and chuck in a bait, bang ! one or two nice fish come on board and then the baby army takes over. It is frustratiung at times getting through the smaller snapper. Larger hooks and fresh yellow tail or Kahawai if caught seem to elininate this to a certain extent.
Fishing at dawn ad dusk is also a key and the results are always proven better. Again the wind going in the same direction as the tide is an advantage and can produce some better fish with stray lines.
Hopefully the schooling snapper will visit close to shores sometime soon and the bites and numbers would increase.
At times , Just under the harbour bridge or heading out to the back of Kauri point has been very successful.
Places like motuihe and the hole at matiatia and Rakino have been patchy as well with lots of little snapper around.
 Finding good fish on the finder is the easy part but getting them to take the bait or get on the bite is proving harder. The bite times are quick and furious and short lived. So when they are on the bite get in there , dont waste time setting up your gear or having a beer; crucial time, get in there and have it all ready. It might be worthwhile to have a few traces and gear all set up and ready to go, No time to set this up once they are on.
Here's some photos of the fish that come through once the bite is on.
Fishing Deals and Grab a cheap trip!

What's working at the moment?
Emphasis is on for fresh bait. If you get some yellow tail , Kahawai or mackeral keep it as it worth its value. Nicely presented on the hook could prove a winner especially in getting those big whoppers. Pilchards and squid and soft baits as always are good but with the present large schools of smaller fish - You bait will soon be demolished.
Our Sponsors:
Busy times for us all and I guess we are still working on this aspect. It just might have to wait till the quieter months and plan a strategy for the coming year. Look forward to this though as there will be some great offers available at the best prices possible.

Here's a bit of humour to lighten you up !
Robert Frost and a very keen fisherman both died on the same day and proceeded to the Pearly Gates . St.Peter met them at the gates , telling both that Heaven was overcrowded that day and one of the would have to wait to enter Heaven.
However , The one who would get to enter, would have to pass a test. Which was to compose the best poem, that rhymed with the city of Timbuktu.
Robert Frost being an eminent Bard, thought for a moment, and
recited marvelous prose all rhyming with Timbuktu.
Hearing the poem, St. Peter said, “Mr. Frost you have surely won!”
However, the fisherman, protested to have a chance, to which St. Peter agreed.
After a bit the fisherman recited this poem.
Tim & I a fishing went,
And we spied three women in a tent.
We were not quite sure just what to do.
So I bucked one,
And Tim bucked two.
The Fisherman got in!
Thankyou for your support !
