Leaves time for a few more trips to Kaikoura then, maybe there would be some around the wharf or further out. Could always send a balloon out off the wharf or beach in the right conditions with a live kahawai then I’ve got a chance at a kingfish or a blue or other shark. Still would like to catch a blue shark, thresher shark, kingfish, seven giller over 8 foot and a stingray over 150kg from land in the south island.
we tried to catch some kingis but after 2 hours and only barracoutas, we tried bottom bouncing for groper and cod when, half a dozen blue sharks came around so the shark hook was on and bang a 1.5 meter blue shark
