full bag again eh, nice one Doc

I did NN during the week, evening mish to change of light, bait burley sesh off taka cliffs, stacks of snaps mid 20s to 34, kept 2 around 40
Reckon sliders & softies would have been better

Have fished here every 10-14 days since last trip report, pretty much more of the same results Started to drop off almost 3 weeks ago in numbers Try 1 last time before they head out to the deep till next season, small tides & had to be back by 530 or slog it thru thick smelly mud.... no thanks Strai...

I have the rhino rack thingy from the link above quick to assemble & pack away, easy as to load the yak up. I find my reload is awkward to pick up & place on the roof rack in one continuous movement I'm guessing my shoulder strain has come from either doing that or wrong habit in paddling https://i....

no expert here, but found NN best to fish with sliders & softbaits. the only thing I personally do not like is the strong currents at times Baits under the taka cliffs or at least between the 2 green markers https://webapp.navionics.com/#boating@12&key=jhs_Fu%7Dyi%60%40 NN has a pretty good communit...

The Manukau is a short drive from my place & I want to explore it a bit more as Ive heard of some good fishing year round if you can get on to them, obviously info from boat owners Most fisher folk I have met talk up about big tide flows heavy sinkers & patchy fishing I have paddled out from Cornwal...

Went out of Laingholm this morning (8:30) in the thick fog, looking for a new spot x for winter Gurnard fishing, never caught any in the yak Tried the shallows in the bay (Titirangi side) before the channel, lots of splashes around, not much current, little bites turning into very small kahawai whic...

Good report mate

Have you tried the shallows around east & west bastion reefs close to bean rock ? those shallows look quite fishy

SitDown

Nice haul there mate

Hey ummmmm, wheres Tiro at ?

Far out man, that's a huge paddle for a day out.... at least you got a good feed out of it That cook up looks dam good too Theres some big current around rough rock towards north head & no13, personally, I reckon theres more current in the Rangi than out west on the Manukau where I go Have found goo...

if its the expanding foam like I think it is, be careful we used to foam up custom made stainless fridges, they would bow out the sides even when stiffened up with 4 x 2's & angle iron also check if the foam is compatible with the pod plastic, you don't want the foam to eat away at it I use 3 frozen...

9lb fish is a goodie, especially on that 2500 reel
Might have to give this trolling thing a go
Like you say, may as well be fishing while you're paddling

Looking at getting something like this
I see these do not have a clear piece over the screen of the fishfinder... the dried salt issue seems alot less than without a visor
Still happy with it ?

Went to a few fishing outlets that sell ff / gps units, nope, cant be fixed or not interested in finding help for said stuffed unit Even Lowrance doesn't fix them, if they do, they are sent to Mexico with no guarantee Equal Electronics Ltd, http://www.efrontier.co.nz/ of Te Atatu here in west aucks ...

nice bag limit there doc
good to see NN is still doing it
sliders ?

For me, 10kt off shore wind is good for paddling around for a fish in water up to 15m You can get away with higher winds of almost any wind direction in the shallows of a tidal estuary. In deeper water with a running tide, this would be asking for trouble Learn & understand your regular fishing loca...

Got out there today, NE 15kt winds, shallow water, a bit rough on the eastern side of the reef, white caps further away from where I anchored... rocked around for 10mins in the gusty wind chop... some wet arse, truly safe for the conditions but more annoying, so paddled to a calmer western side... a...
