A couple of pix from this weekends excursion.

Sunset - waiting for the bender..

40 minutes arguing the point with this bugger. Damn hard to get one of these out of the water in the dark when you're on your own

Rays have tough jaws..

Sunrise - still waiting for the bite.....

Finally got these two in a space of 5 minutes at about 7am.

A parting shot on the way home.

Nice Pics mate. Went with Mike for a fish up whakaki last nite. Was complete opposite from a few nights earlier. Too flat. But nice all the same. Need a good southerly to churn it up and bust some kai up. Anyone hear how the Wairoa comp went at Whakakmahi? Had to work yet again

Yeah it was pretty dead at Mohaka - except for the Rays and Topes during the night.
I managed to stop catching Tope sharks by not using Skipjack. Thats all they were after.

Lots of baitfish in the surf this morning, could see them jumping all over the place. Nothing big enough to eat my Live baits though, they might have been a bit big.

Got this eagle ray at 5am as well.

Re: Mohaka

No such thing as too bigga live bait there. They were catching piper in the surf toward the mouth this morning but just catching Kahawai. Several big splashes sighted tho. Put some liveys out at whakaki the other day all i caught were Kahawai and got Sharked on another. A lot of small pilchards or anchovies skittering around tho, getting smashed by the odd cruising Kahawai. Did see one kingfish when i first arrived but typically never had gear set up at that spot

. Did you get much river weed at Mohaka?. A lot running out of the mouth at present.

I bit of river weed at low tide but it cleared as the tide came in.
I wasn't all the way down at the mouth (those spots were already occupied) I was directly opposite the river where that big buried log is.

Nice pics. I was annoyed that I couldn't make it, but it looks like I didn't miss out on anything to big...
