Action is fairly evenly spread between inshore on change of light, and out deeper throughout the main part of the day in the Hauraki Gulf and many other areas as well.

Those monster macks – the foot long ones are hounding baitfish just down from the lighthouse at Tiri, white terns are hugging coastlines all over the show with surface splashing mackerel and their faithful followers too.

Hard to beat the fishing right now, be prepared for the whole spectrum of bite in a day – from oh-so-tentative bites when micros and minimum lure movement is key, to full on charge of the light brigade kind of stuff – which may last a while, or be over in a blink….check out the Espresso Report video on Catch Fishing Facebook page.

Cheers
