Cooked or raw prawns work just fine, take off there heads thread like a softbait so the hook point comes out in the tail end and elastic it, throw it out and wait i mean wait longer than you think usually iv been about ready to pull it in when the bait has been hit, and dont throw it out to far just into good water works the best

Went for a fish last night, caught a good rig and lost another in the surf, before the sea lice turned up and essentially ended the fishing.

If you keep eating big feeds like that youre gonna need an outrigger on da harley to lug your immensness around the countryside.And what are the poor people eating?.Who cares!.
Nice job on the cuisine front Firdling.

caught 4 rig at amberley last night, 13lb, 8lb, 5lb and about a 2lb kept the 2 larger ones had a few other hits too

[yellowfin]

Do you cast from the beach or do you wade out a little? I was thinking about going to southbridge tonight but maybe amberley looks the go

[PierMaster]

Just cast from beach, if u live in chch its easy enough to just get your own crabs at brighton or southshore, was dam calm last night at amberley should be much the same tonight

[yellowfin]

yeah I live in chch. Sounds pretty good I think I may head out there then

[yellowfin]

Got a few rig at amberley with ginga and piermaster friday fished lyttelton tonight not much happening just a small conger off the breakwater

[Birdlingsflat]

fished near bayleys this morn..coupla rig heads on the beach from last night..bit of a swell running..every cast caught greyboys..gave up in the end

[fishforpot]

Just smaller ones can we assume Ian ? …. be another month before the bigger fellas are there …..Id sooner eat them than rig …..but thats just me lol

[Birdlingsflat]

yup on a cocktail of prawn/squid..biggest was maybe 3lbs..so we got rig/male eles and small greyboys-hanging around-and schools of small baitfish offshore-the trawlers are getting female eles further out..any day now the decent fish should be here-the trick is to be out there….at the right time

[Birdlingsflat]

and today was the right time-2nd for the season
15lbs-prawn 1st and last cast-windy and choppy-female
