magooes

Have caught a handfull over the years , all south of banks peninsula .

Thanks for that mili, heading to kaik this weekend so hopefully spear a few there

Hey Milli, Im heading up to nelson after new years with the wife and kids in tow. Staying close to cable bay. Can you suggest a good place to jump off the rocks for a spear ? I am thinking of taking my inflatable up there but not sure if worth the hassle . Any help would be great thanks

Fished just past birdlings this morning from 6am with crabs and prawns ,stayed until 11am and not even a nibble , trawler came past just before we left. There was a couple of doggies and a dead carpet shark lying on beach from night before.

Thanks for that info, Yea just mainly cod. Dont really fish winter but thats about all that is around at this time of year down here.

where have you gone bridlings?????, I enjoy you daily updates

Went to kaikoura for the night on staurday, went for a spear just before sharks tooth in south bay, not many sized butterfish around, but had a large eagle ray swim right under me which was something new . Had another spear by the tunnels today and got 3 large butters. yum yum

Thats the type I use ( opera style).They work fine. I just made the holes larger to allow bigger crabs in. Any type should work . If its slack tide with not much swell there are plenty out there . Either dig a stick into the sand with a long rope attached or tie a bouy to it. I sometimes…[Read more]

[quote="muddypc":2vkl2c9u]I’d also like to know where to get them. Bought some once from a supermarket but at $12+ for the bugger all I got I’d be reluctant to buy em again. Is there anywhere else (read cheaper) you can buy them? Really do need to get a pot and get my own…[/quote:2vkl2c9u]

Just got back from bayleys. fished 7 pm – 11.30. 1 dog fish and a large carpet shark to show for my efforts. The misses caught them both too.

I was down bayleys too this morning , but all I got was a large paddle crab and sore eyes from looking for my keys for a couple of hours!Still didnt find them , had to break into it ( lucky the ignition is so sloppy you can start it with a screw driver.) thanks for the help looking for them birdlings and the two other guys out there.

Yes thanks birdlings.

Hi Birdlings, whats the conditions like out there today? Mite head out tonight for a fish . Cheers

The complete angler use to have it barbados street.

Went for a spearfish at wainui today, got 2 large moki and 1 butterfish, missed another 3 of each so must have got rusty over winter. Vis was shit as usual. Would be worth rock fishing for the moki off the end of the island as there were plenty around.

Is the water very clean at Bayleys? I must be a fairly small swell by now?

About 3 years ago I stopped in his bay to gut some butterfish id speared and he was strutting his fluff up and down the beach with his air rifle trying to scare off some jet skiers. He’s a real nut bar lol

Good effort mili, they look very tasty

Was the water very clear ? not to cold? might head up next weekend for a spearfish if the weather ok. Whereabouts were you spearing?
