Hi Coach, where can I find some details on the Rob Fort fishing social? I'm keen to try out a couple of comps, not because I have any chance of winning anything but just looks like a great way to meet like minded people. Really like the sound of a comp with a bigger sustainability focus. Cheers Bea...

"Rob Forts fishing Social" this year we are looking at removing longest snapper altogether and replacing it with "best mixed bag" taking away the emphasis altogether of large snapper and testing the anglers overall fishing skills.

I have a lower limit of 35cm, and an upper of 55cm. Even if they are showing no signs of life, I have a lead weight with a hook that drops them quickly to the sea floor. one yank on the rope and they are left there to hopefully swim again.

Yip, thats the one been going for a few years now.

Nice work! I see you are a Marlins Fan. I run Randwick park community centre and have the younger age group boys from marlins running around. You should come up with us to Papa Aroha for their fishing comp in November.

Thanks guys awesome advice will try them on the way out to Rangitoto this weekend.

Has any one got thoughts on a good trolling lure for kahawai and snapper while paddling out to the grounds?

Hi there all, am heading over to Whangamata for a quick reccy on Friday with a view of having a fish in the evening. Can anyone tell me the layout of the place and the best place to head out please.

Okay so after several months out of action the scene was set for my first paddle out into the waters off Orere point. Having a back and forward discussion with Yukikaze we decided that with positive forum responses the drag from the city of the future (Hamilton) might be worth it. We both arrive at ...

Looks like an awesome haul. I am off up to Orere in the morning after a few months off the water, hopefully be able to get a feed. what softies did you use?

Thanks everyone, will get out there saturday morning and see what I can bring home!

Hey guys and girls, I am thinking of fishing around Orere in the next couple of days, any suggestions on where to launch from and where to go? Cheers all.

Sorry guys I will be working.

Hey guys

Are we still having a club day over at Kereta and Wilsons bay on the 28th?

Sorry guys would love to turn up to my first meeting, but I start work at 6pm.

Sorry we missed catching up Jeffro, the day was pretty much a dud, although others had done pretty well the day before.

No problem with the wind this morning, apparently the fish decided to have a day off! Went out with yukikaze and spent most of the morning prospecting with softbaits but no takers, not one. Yukikaze was using squid baits and slow jigs and faired only slightly better, he had to put one or two back so...

Yeh going to miss out on that one, will be working.

Hey guys, anyone fished Wilsons bay/Kereta lately? Have not fished there before, but worth a speculator on monday.

Anybody had any luck over at Kereta/wilsons bay lately? Yukikaze and I are looking to head in that direction for a morning fish on monday.
