Haha - don't ya hate that

Always the way.
Catching a snapper around here really is a lottery. You can fish all the 'hotspots' endlessly and not get any, and then some tourist with no clues at all will fluke one right next to you. Pure luck.

Fishing really does require a good sense of humour at times.

Fluke? Yeah right!

You just need to know the territory. Use the right hooks and bait for the area. Have a feel for where the reefs are. If you just plonk a 5/0 hook with a bonito bait 15m into the waves........good luck to you.

Re: snapper at Te awanga

I normally fish by the river mouth casting on the edge off the reef

Lots of mussels in there, supposedly good moki territory as well. I've fished in there using all manner of baits (including mussel) but never caught anything at all.
Around the corner off the point is another spot if the surfies aren't there.

40cm is legal size, just over the kg mark. Nice to eat up to 50cm
