How'd the comp at Tahaenui go? Hope the Marae did well with the numbers. The fisho's were certainly starting to pile in there when I left that beach at 4pm on Sat for the fatal mistake of heading to Blacks. Did the snapper turned up?

From what I was told by a few local boys, there was a reasonable amount of fish caught, but thats to be expected at Tahanui as is would easerly be the best place to catch fish during the day.

Heviest snapper was around 1.2kg from memory, Almost 20 weighed in or so.

Plenty a kahawai and rays in sharks n gurnard ect....

There is a $4000 comp in Matata this weekend also.

As for the fishing that evening. There was a few snapper caught the evening you left toward blacks beach

. Two anglers I know went to the right to wards tahanui stream sucked the kumara. Blacks has been fishing bloody well, you just need to get down the far end in the right spot.

Went to Whakaki on sunday night, after driving about 4k down the beach, I realised I had no bait cotton, it was ratshit. Ended up catching a kahawai, so didn't really need bait elastic, caught a handfull of gurnard under the cover of the moon, and 6 decent snapper. Lots of little tip overs that come off also.

Good to hear they got a few people there for there fundraiser, the Tahenui locals seem a decent lot really. They told me Blacks had been fishing well right down to the car parks last week so it was worth a try.
Unfortunately I had a run in with my ram and got a sprained ankle so a 3k walk wasnt an option. I was lucky to get down the track at the 2nd carpark really. Hope you get plenty of chances in the next few days as with this new moon phase youll be caning them. Some people get all the luck

So whats a good rig for matata comp this weekend. Just reading latest fishing mag with chad write up with pully rig was thinking that might be worth a go can u use it with dead bait or is better for a live bait. Thanks. any other ideas welcome.

Dead bait mate pully rig is just imp clip at one end with a sliding swivel and somthing on the other end to attach your trace anchovie is the best bait in that area

A hard days fishing beats a good day at work

Re: Manutai Marae Comp

Thanks for the advice. Are the traces very hard to make. I normaly use a ledger rig and want to have a rig that i can change to if 1 dont work.

Re: Manutai Marae Comp

I normaly put a genie clip at the end of my pully rig then you can just make traces with a swivel at the end

Re: Manutai Marae Comp

Thanks will try make 1 up. Got to try new things out
