When you’re not out fishing you’ve gotta have something to do in your spare time. Looking back at the latest catches threads from the last few years I can find out what species are likely to be around at what times of the year. Looking at getting back out fishing later this month maybe a trip to kaikoura or just up to the Pier, should be some kahawai showing up soon.
