2013 sping/summer surf catches.

Word!..o well next one will be bigger..out of interest was it a male or female and what size hool?..looks like a female but hard to see from photo.

Cleaver use of photoshop there duckman!

I’ve been out I just post it on Facebook or keep it to myself now days

I have not been to go Surfcasting lately, mostly been out paddling my kayaks or taking photos. Done a little fishing at the local river mouths for Kahawai, and put very little effort into a Moki fish one night (Saw a little blue penguin in the surf zone, so spent much of the evening watching it instead, hoping for a photo).

My Kayak trips are not normally serious fishing attempts so do not normally report on them unless something interesting happens.

Nice moki sevengillz..well done..are they your first?

Fished one of my Snapper spots last night until 11:15pm, fishing was quite slow with a good size Pannie after dark and a couple of small eagle rays which got my hopes up for a few moments. Then I grabbed a few hours sleep and went for a Kayak in the morning but bed was to comfy and I was still tired when I launched so missed the prime change of light. Had a nice paddle but nothing took my lures.

Part of the reason I was so tired in the morning is because after I finished fishing, I spent quite a while taking photos… was a very clear night with no moon in sight an I wanted to make the most of it.
