Hey everyone I'm going to be going for a all night fish on Friday, with my little brother for my first attempt at catching a snapper. I'm quite new to all of this species and would love to have any advice on spots and rigs baits for a successful trip. as I don't have as much time on my hands anymore due to my engineering apprenticeship. I'm in the hawkes bay by the way.

Read the posts over the last 3-4 weeks mate that will give you a bit of an idea of where they're biting.

From there Google maps is your friend.

Thursday through sunday looks ideal. Try to be setup by 5pm and fish through in to dark 9pm ish. Clifton reef is producing a few Schoalies too. Pillies, occy, and cray. Gud luck.

I've always wondered how to get to that reef? You can't drive up through the motor camp so do you park up outside It and walk or better access on 4 wheeler?

Hi I fished Te Awanga last Night from 7pm till 11.30pm sea was flat and clean the stream is flowing only about 10 metres away from limestone rocks where ya park. Burley throwen into stream current worked well. 1 Snap 35cm 4 Ky and 3 red cod. After donating a few rigs to the reef I figured out a short cast of 40 mtrs got best bites. Got snapper on fresh skinned ky strip just on darkness pulley rig no bling. Have fun Friday..

Also get yourself a couple of clip on glow sticks and attach to your rod tip to make it easier to see if you are getting bites at night time

you and I are in the same boat mate I fished from sunset till sun up and not a damn thing not even a bite so feeling the brunt of my all nighter at the moment should have taken a sleeping bag to have a kip on the beach during low tide.

Hi Charlie I went to the north end for a go should have gone to the other end kicking myself for not doing that in the first place but it probably would not have made any difference though have a funny feeeling full moon would have played a part in it as it was that bright last night I hardly used my headlamp.
