Nice fat Kahawai from Te Horo this afternoon - smoked fish pie for dinner tomorrow methinks

Nice fat fish and an interesting lure you took it on. I'm surprised nobody has commented.

The thought of a nice fish pie has me salivating. Kahawhai is a vastly underrated table fish, all it takes is a little care with the filleting knife and eating the fish as fresh as possible.

Looks like a lumo head needlefish skirt on that rig to me. Hangler you are bang on the money in terms of Kahawai as a decent table fish I am quite partial to the fillets being floured then fried in butter or smoked but have also had it marinated either way it is a good fish that deserves to be a bit more than just another snapper bait I probably say that as my old man used to feed us whatever fish he caught bar spotties and sprats but he only did stingray once (one of those ugly black longtailed ones) and we all got crook he didn't get the wings off in time and they got the ammonia build up in them have refused to have stingray ever since.

Lumo skirts are standard fare for surfcasters these days Hangler. Rather than being used as a moving lure their job is to make a bait look a bit more attractive with colour and waving tentacles. They can really increase your catch of gurnard and kahawai.

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

Yup, lumo needlefish skirt plus a small float and extra lumo bead to add a bit more life to it. Also trying the breakaway Imp clips, Fastlink clips and Proper Pulley's on my rigs, which I've been impressed with so far.
