Yeah Gurnard are becoming an endangered species. However there are plenty of nice fat schoalies at whakaki. Fish the top 3 hours of incoming up to high. Caught a bin full up to 4.5kg in size. There feeding on all the crap thats bin smashed up recently. Interestingly enough as they do at this time of year there scoffing down whole juvenile puffer fish. A lot of the pelagic tunas gorge themselves on these at this time of year. Water was a greeny color due to the increased runoff of freshwater but was clearing quickly as the swell backed off. Morning high produced best , with mid afternoon a close second and evening light change, could have played tidily winks

, but this will likely change in next coupla days as evening highs co-incide with light change. Goodluck Mike

I fished from 6pm till 11.30pm at whakaki carpark, for 8 keeper snapper biggest 2.5kg bite time was 9pm till 9.30ish full of paddle crabs, and surprizing to me also caught 4 kahawai ranging from 1.5kg to 2.5kg at 10pm-10.30pm it was a bright night and awesome conditions

dropped a another better fish maybe a ray or small kingi big runs acouple nods more runs and nothing! and 2 trevally just under a kg, released them
10.45pm the bite completely stopped, not bad filled the bin and had some beersies took the emptyies with us

didn't see any rubbish left behind by others so good to see people respecting the beach,

2 quads came from down the beach, they left right on change of light lol (wrong time to leave the beach in my opinion) they got squat!

I personally love fishing change of light-late and even better when the moonrise coincides with it, seems to work for me anyways

skippy baits were all untouched! pillies did the bizzo,

cheers
