So what's happening with the Fishing

The fishing has been great and we are having a good success rate.However, there are days when the fish are busy with their spawning and the bite times are short lived. It can be frustrating at times when the sounder shows some great sign and the fish are not interested in what is being offered. I have had those days and yet on the next day in the same spots they will be firing. Having said that, we have had only a few days where my patience was tested , fortunately on the rest of the days we had a very high success rate. Check the young lad out in the picture who landed this nice kingfish on the 1st of jan. What a way to start the year ! he was over the moon and with just a 15 pound line he had to work hard for his money. Well done ! I don't have to tell you the power of a kingfish - You fully are aware of that and its everyones dream to land that big one .

The fish are moving in and close to the harbour bridge and we have picked up some nice fish there. But it is still a bit patchy and a touch and go situation. The fides run quick and getting your line down could pose a huge challenge.

The Rangitoto channel and the Motuihe channel are also producing some great results. Again the tides could pose a bit of a mission in the Motuihe channel.

Remember if you fish with the tide and the wind in the same direction you have a better chance of landing some good fish.

Out in the middle ground and the Noises ,the haystack and the Rakino channels are producing some nice snapper as well. The kingfish have started to move in close and its not uncommon to see them just under the boat hammering the bait fish.

What's working at the moment?
Fresh is always best. Pilchards and squid are still proving to be awesome bait. When a school of good fish are running then a nice yellow tail can be lethal.
On the kingfish trips, live baiting and surface trawing poppers have proved effective.

Our Sponsors:
It has been really busy for us all and that goes with our likely sponsors as well. We are still in the process of getting a fishing and tackle shop as our sponsors where you could look forward to some great deals when it comes to fishing and tackle equipment. There will also be numerous prizes that we will be giving away or won with a very small entry requirement. So we will keep you posted of all thats going on.

Here's a bit of humour to lighten you up !

A man is out fishing in his row boat when suddenly a passing speed boat raises huge waves and the man's oars falls overboard!

He is stranded out in the middle of the lake!

After about two hours, he sees another row boat going by with a man and two women in it!

The first man yells, "Hey buddy, can I borrow one of your oars?"

The other man yells back, "They're not whores ... they're my sisters

Kind Regards
