We caught a few skipjack in 25m yesterday, in as close as the kahawai in the green water. Water temp still up around 20 degrees

It was a "Classic" day out in Taranaki yesterday. Let's hope for days like this on the 24th and 25th

Early Bird entry cuts off tomorrow!!

Pretty good fishing here at the moment too!! This snapper measured 93cm caught on Saturday.

Early bird entry closes on 8th March, less than a week away now

It was a great day on the water today with some big km's paddled in the glassy conditions. Everyone landed a tuna which was cool especially for the guys new to tuna fishing. Congrats to Leyton for heaviest fish of the day and Adrian second place taking home the prizes courtesy of Canoe and Kayak Tar...

No worries I have got plenty, I will take some to the club day at the port this Sunday

Hi have a number of foam pool noodles to give away, let me know if you want any. I have around 20 and are in good condition.

Avoid high tide at Middleton bay it can get a bit tricky at high on the ramp there with a lot of water moving around.

Bastards . If you are on Facebook chuck a post on the kayak fishing pages get the word around. That is one of the best things about Facecrack

Watch some early Matt Watson shows, he is good at showing how to strayline. Usually two hooks and a small running ball sinker, half hitch at the end of the bait and let the sinker sit back on that. Whole pillies or big slabs of bait if you want big snapper, like a whole fillet of a fresh small kahaw...

Circle hooks and put the hook through the back of the mack at a 45 degree angle like the big angry fish guys do for kingfish. Should hook in the jaw then just keep steady pressure on. Keep trying different ways but it looks like most are using circles now

The kingfish was caught on my gurnard set up a Shimano TR200 with a small piece of bait, was a real b...
