The mouth of the Tukituki River was the place to be today if you wanted some kahawai fun.

Thousands of kahawai invaded the rivermouth and estuary area. I enjoyed chcking out the tackle in use it was a good mix. I only wished I had my fly rod handy.

Kahawai came and went for the hour we were there and as they came ashore the coughed uo pilchards and anchovies.

I took time off the camera to catch one myself.

The snapper don't know where the car park is!

Sounds like it would have been a good place to have a bait net too. Pity other spots around Napier weren't as spectacular this weekend. The lice were the only things out in force last night from what I saw.
