ParticipantDespite the fairly cold conditions I went snapper fishing, the water was a bit chilly but my spot was sheltered from the cold breeze. The fishing was fairly slow, with a pannie being caught just after dark, when it was properly dark I caught this fellow. Knew he was good size, although not that big. Walked out at low tide which was a little after 10pm.

ParticipantClimbed over the rocks and fished spot M from 7pm to 10pm. The sea was very calm, making the scramble along the cliff edge much less fun then usual. The fishing was slow, only caught a single wrasse. After dark saw all kinds of interesting creatures in the rock pools. Also spotted a couple of marble trout lazing in the shallows of a gut. There was nothing in my berely trail.
Did have lots of fun climbing over the rocky coastlines while waiting for a bite. Going to photograph myself standing on a rock pinnacle next time I got out there. Did see one penguin on my trip back to the car.

Participanthave had no internet connection all week,went moki fishing last week,got a strike an jumped up thinking it was a moki,my phone flew out of my pocket an landed in the briney…needless to say that was the end of that..i use my phone as a modem to my laptop..worst part was it just turned out to be a banded wrass.man it hit hard..they are usually dogfish like.put in about 30 hours chasing ele’s last week with only a small female rig and a dogfish to show for my effort…none of the locals have been catching either…shit start to the season..i think all this cold weather is the culprit..and crab population is out of control…big stacks of ele for sale at new world today though and the trawlers are busy…

ParticipantAnyone know much about Rig fishing in the Tasman/Nelson area?
I’m moving to the Tasman district in 3 weeks and had a look at some of the channels there a couple of months ago and they looked perfect for Rig but have never heard of any caught there.had a quick look at a beach near Timaru on the way home today but the easterly was strong and water was filthy so didn’t bother fishing.

ParticipantI believe they do occur there, but have no first hand experience. Maybe PM hardy, he has a mate which does quite a bit of surfcasting in and around Nelson.

ParticipantFished Kaikoura North Saturday arvo and First thing Sunday …. the bird workups were the biggest Ive seen them in ages ….fish boiling up on the surface etc
I kept clear of the creeks to avoid the Kahawai – trying for carrots …..
Fishing was not good tho .. 1 crab , 1 kahawai , 1 red cod , 1 skate , 1 seven giller , 2 school sharks , 1 carpet shark and 8 of those things nobodys like to hear about lol …
Used braid off the beach for the first time , was very interesting ….18/11/2012 at 9:14 pm #21941yellowfin
ParticipantA group of us fished Kaikoura on the weekend. Decent fishing on Friday but quiet on Saturday. The only gurnard caught was from a kayak. A pregnant 45lb school shark was caught, the guy wanted to keep it so we released about 20 baby sharks from it, I think they all swam off OK.

Participantonly 3 dogs along birdlings the other night,no elephants yet..looks like this season is going to be a shitty one in canterbury.went mullet fishing off the rocks on saturday,was having a blast catching the numerous mullet in my berley trail,then they went shy and headed out deeper….whats going on here…i looked down and saw what i thought was a moki swimming around but then realised i was looking at the tail of a sevengiller…it then turned and came to the rocks edge to check me out…they have turned up the exact same time they do every year…same with the rig…so one must assume there is something else going on other than weather with the eles….what do you guy’s think????hey fishforpot, i have spooled all my reels with braid this year but havn’t fished kaikoura with it yet..did you have any probs with abrasion or bust offs??
