Went to a spot on the wairau which normally holds a few fish. Fished with a Rapala for maybe 10 minutes before losing it to a Snag 
Back to car and rigged on my secret weapon, few casts later had my first strike but failed to hook up, that was followed 4-5 casts later by a small sea run which spat the hook during a aerial display, few more casts and another strike which did not hold then managed to snag and lose it 
Running low on my favorite spinner, hope I can track more down 
. In bigger waters I rarely get out fished while using it. Was getting a bit dark so packed up on drove home.
