I can't believe how damn cheap that is for what is effectively a copy of the Prowler Ultra 4.3

My thoughts too. Be interesting to hear if it's any good.

Nice one

Big snapper can be an pain in the arse if you don't want to catch them though. Northland problems!

Nice trip report

After many hours of trolling lures for kingfish from kayaks and other vessels, I've come to the conclusion that I can't quite paddle fast enough to get the kingies interested in Rapala-type lures. Happy to hear different opinions though.

we are probably in for the shittiest, changeable month of the calendar.

Same here, despite the higher water temperatures. I hate the spring winds (and winter of course). Having said that, fish are always biting in Northland.

Thanks. Love Bream Bay once the water hots up! Last summer, I tried to catch snapper on as many different types of lure as possible in that area. They were smashing everything including trolled hard body lures and stick baits

How'd you go Fishfood? Are the fish in the sandy shallows already?

Well done

Damn, that's tidy lespresso! If someone was to breed a Viking Reload with a Predator PDL, I'd be saying take my money!

I use SwellMap as a starting point, then cross check with Windy, especially if it's a bit borderline. Have to say that Windy is generally more accurate.

Cool trip

Good question. My Humminbird 597 is hanging on despite a few close calls. Love that unit. If you find a model where the electrical connectors are integrated in to the mount, please share. I think Humminbird really missed a trick by scrapping that design.

How do you know it's summer in Auckland?

The rain is warm!

Just to add to the discussion, this is my hook remover, it has an iki spike built in to the handle. I used to use the spike all the time, but I prefer a knife now. Better handle and the wider blade is more forgiving of a slightly inaccurate iki. As I said in my previous post, the hook remover is awe...

I carry a few things on/in my PFD: - Braid snips - Hook sharpener - Hook remover (great for barracouta and other undesirables) - Long nose pliers (no split ring thingie) - Safety knife It sounds like a lot of junk to carry, but it all gets tucked away and I wouldn't be without any of it. As for spli...

Unless I'm mistaken, we fished together in Auckland quite a few years ago. Things have obviously changed for both of us since then. I've been in Northland since Auckland. Everything they say about fishing in the north is true! Funnily enough, I had a job offer in Timaru last year. It was a good job,...
