ParticipantTook the The fiery ginga to a little spot I sometime fish in Tennyson inlet on Sunday, was a long day. Picked him up around 7:30, and started fishing shortly after 10am. The weather was mixed, warm morning which turned to rain, and after we were soaked it slowly cleared to a perfect evening. The fishing was rather slow, with only Kahawai, Mackerel, Barracouta, Mullet and a few Snapper being caught right on dark. I had live baits out most of the time, one got spooked quite badly by something which created a bow wave but that little else happened.
Think I would do a few shore based kingie missions while waiting to recover from my various health aliments which have been preventing me from kayaking.

[i:dfwc8rsh]The first kahawai.[/i:dfwc8rsh]
This pesky bird wasted a lot of fishing time while I released it.
Two fish landed!
I was driving along the highway north of Kaikoura recently when I spotted a huge work-up right on the breaker-line just across the road. For once I had a rod close at hand. I stopped and grabbed the rod before running across the road to the beach, trying to thread the line up through the guides at the same time – more or less. There were birds everywhere. I haven’t seen such an enormous work-up right on the beach for years. The sea was almost flat calm.
First cast landed a good kahawai; second cast landed a dam bird. The ungrateful bugger kept trying to peck me as I untied and released him (or her).
Third cast; another kahawai. This one got off.
On the forth cast I landed a second kahawai.
The school was moving northwards up the coast at a good walking pace so that was it. Enormous fun!05/01/2014 at 5:31 am #24395yellowfin

Participantmaori fishing calender said bad .Tides were coming in and weather was looking ok so went out anyway.When I arrived a guy was pulling in a 15 odd pounder shark so was looking hopeful.
Had a tail wind so could cast 80-90 m .First cast got a greyboy then 4 more then a small rig and a first while surfcasting got a flounder.
Kept 1 20 pound greyboy (skinned and frozen ) and the flounder ,breakfast today. - AuthorPosts
