The stretch of water just to the north of that boundary line was alive with fish on Saturday evening. A huge work up of Kingfish chasing, I presume, small Kahawhai, all within easy casting distance. With all those rods out there will be little chance of fishing a small live bait in the hope of catching a big Kahawhai or a tussle with a Kingie.

Curious why do you think there will be little chance of catching a livey?

Re: Kahawai Comp in Napier

I didn't say there will be little chance of catching a livey, I said there will be little chance of fishing a livey with all those rods out in a competition. If there is a good angler turnout, they will be fishing close together, not really a good idea to have a livey swimming over or under other angler's lines.

Slidebait, you can control it within 2-3 metres of your line. Last 3 kahawai comps I have done this, and taken a fair few prizes doing it..........

Sorry misread. Id use a sliding live bait and have done in past comps too for winning fish. Save having to wind in half chewed pilly baits all day. Looks like i may be sitting this one out unless a large meteor hits our shop in the next coupla days

If its anything like yesterday, your pillie baits will last all of 5min.

Paddle crabs are rampant along there at present. Floats didn't slow them down at all

Sliding liveys are the way to go. Now try one under a balloon and see whet happens though. You will get to know your neighbors quickly that way.
