just had a couple of nice searuns from the mak, biggest 4.5lb…..but I lost my rod and reel…just fekking dropped it…gone..just gone…so if anyone fishes out a abu rod and reel setup from below the mak bridges…i’ll buy ya a beer for it back!!

Had a couple of salmon on canals last Friday, then a salmon from be more and two good trout from aviemore on weekend. Heaps of fish cruising the margins in aviemore, water was v clear.

Had a wander up the waimak past the motorbike track area this afternoon, a few fishy looking bits of water, but no fish for my efforts. The water is pretty coloured, started on fly switched to rapalas, no joy, good day not to be at work though

awesome KY fella…wish I could catch one!

that was bloody decent of you SS, a vague idea would have been great! But that is excellent, used to fish for perch in the UK so will be something of a blast from the past for me! Used to always look for reed beds etc, which is where i headed first off before mutt went for a swim! Will give it a chance for the algae to clear before going back…[Read more]

went to have a look for a perch on forsyth today, which turned into a disaster as the dog jumped into what looked like scum, but think was algae bloom…which is not good for dogs..abandoned trip….all looked really shallow though on the road side..might need a few tips Mr Sharkslayer is you would be so kind. Dog is still alive so maybe was…[Read more]

plenty of fish around this morning at mak rocks, most from where Kaiapoi river joins, some from boats. A lovely fish 20lb+ from the rocks. Some bloke lost a nice fish when his line snapped, best thing was the girlie strop he threw afterwards, legend!

just back from a few days in Waikawa, a few small snapper kicking around, but quiet on the kahawai front

any KY around the mak mouth?

had a couple of hours at Mac rocks, bugger all happening.

I know in the Uk, a spoon was often used, just moved across the seabed, often with a bit of bait attached, the fish go for the movement….or so goes the theory…could be worth a try.

great moki SS.

Just back from Birdlings, less said about the fishing the better, but Birdlings, you are a gentleman for the lift back, and your moki…YUM. Thanks. Look forward to seeing you down there again.

didnt see much happening down at the mak mouth this arvo

are there any KY down the Mak mouth today? cheers

Great pic of the old trout…not a bad brownie either

had an amble down the South Branch this morning, forgot my polaroids which made spotting difficult, caught nothing but spooked one half decent fish, a number of small fish around further upstream.

Have heard there are big Perch in there, and some trout where the river flows in

only ever fished it once near where it goes into Ellesmere, didnt see any fish at all, looks better upstream, but never given it a go. Liam, where about were you getting the carp?

went down to Mak mouth first light this morning, did not see any salmon caught. A few KY around.
