Probably my favourite tide for fishing is the outgoing currently.  As soon as the tide changes, the fishing slows, but still can remain steady enough to get a feed.

We still have ideal tidal conditions next week, so the results should be the same, fingers crossed.

By-catch hasn’t been much this week, the odd shark (greys and spiney) with very little gurnard and kahawai. A few kingfish are still on the prowl also.

All our fishing has been happening in the fifty metres zone between Albatross Point and Harihari.

Just head out to the fifty line and then travel roughly along that till you find fish on the sounder.

There have been a lot of tern birds working the surface and the snapper are generally not too far away from these fellas.

I will try and get a sounder pic for my next report.

On the weather front, there’s a bit of swell over the weekend, but during the week it is looking mint, and we will be heading out there if you are keen.

Cheers

Rob
