The kingfish are still in good numbers out towards CapeBrett and down towards Waiwiri rock south of the cape.  The .71 metre rock is a bit hit and misscurrently.  One day you can get goodkingis and the next, zero, even though you can see them there.

Then it’s a waiting game for the bite to came on.  The same goes for the snapper if youpersevere you will get a bite.

With boat traffic increasing over the summer months a bitof fishing etiquette is needed with several upset people complaining about thedistance other boats will come and drop their anchor.

Here’s a few pointers to stop you innocently riling upyour fellow fishos JIn general if you are inside the centre foul they will have a stray-line outthe back, so don’t come up the back in their trail.

Instead cruise in quietly from the side and anchorparallel with them.

This week it should be good to hit the shallow stuff allaround the islands.  There are lots offish around.

If you’re looking to stock up on live baits to chaseanything from snapper to marlin, you’ll generally find they are out in 30 metreszone just south of the centre foul. There are big slimeys and jack mackerel that make great baits, so maybeuse a heavier sabiki and a heavy sinker to reduce tangles once they areon.  

Remember to avoid touching your baits at all if you canhelp it, just pop the back of a table knife up under the hook and plop theminto the tank.

Be safe, tight lines
