Yeah typical, pray for a bout of westerlys Spring and autumn and NO DEAL, get it in winter and the water temps have dropped off to leave spiney doggz, redcods, coutas. At best you may snare a gurney if your lucky, and the odd moki here in Hawkes Bay that is. Plenty of shark fishing if thats your thing too. Snaps were on after dark, tho i scored a couple a month back at 830am in the morning there too of decent size on the high tide. In all instances pillies were bait of choice. Cray only picked up passing lemons. Would be nice there this weekend. Shame work has other plans for me.
