I normaly go right towards the norfork pine area but all the big snapper are normally caught at the school early in the season through early to late october then right after that left is good also towards opoho steam

A hard days fishing beats a good day at work

Any direction is good to be fair. There is a huge hole about 500m to the right, well worth a look.

If you want something different, then blacks is my favorite spot and well worth a visit, head down to the nuhaka river mouth....... Excellent spot. Chur.

Best chance of a snapper will be back around by Hawai or Maraenui this weekend, a meter swell is not to bad and the wind is offshore. On this side it turns south again. usually means the fishing inside of mahia will be difficult and very sloppy. The swell is NE so that the other side will be not to bad.

There has been a few snapper turn up here, but they are still very rare. There is allot more on the other side.

Plenty of big snapper and other stuff caught in front of the car park. If crowded I go right and find some nice holes where the beach gets steeper. If I had a quad bike I might go left to Opoho..

The snapper don't know where the car park is!
Sometimes it is better to travel than to arrive.

Plenty of Redcod there last coupla nights. Pretty crap really. Helped a joker land a 20kg plus tope shark at the school last night. Went prospecting today and put half a dozen big fat Gurnard in the bin so that was a trip saver

. All on fresh Kahawai for bait cast well out. Cant beat the far right hand side for numbers on Snappers, but the carpark is as good as any where for them big buggers. How did you fare last night Chad?. Might return visit early nek week.

Left. Small bait big cast. Looks good this weekend. Get into it. Be pretty jumbly elsewhere.

nice 0ne bro, was hoping to get up there this weekend, but looks like the sea gonna kick up, might havto see what i can find round here.

Re: Whakiki left or right??

Amazing how 24hrs can make such a difference.

One night its gurnard hand over fist, the next shes a slipperly red slope down hill.

I did get busted off on a dodgey leader knot though, and dropped a line screamer, but it was on cray, so most likely a lemon.

Nice to be out, the water WAS outstanding

I take it you mean a heap of red cod? Interesting that alright i'll have a look at a couple of things on the calendar and see if i can come up with anything as it is quite strange how species can move on or change in a 24 hr period
