I guess that the overall total of fish makes day one a success. It didnt seem like it on the beaches though where a few barracouta, less numbers of kahawai and one gurnard was all that could be caught. Rods bent at some beaches but it was spiney dogfish, hoards of them and none over a metre and big enough to weigh in.

Next one falls on Labour Weekend so guess that will be postponed when the club captain realises. If not it may be the big snapper comp of the year for the club. Some big moochers will be about at places like Mohaka, Whakaki, Blacks and Mahanga Beaches.
Lets hope for good weather this time
