Pete is still out at sea doing pretty well at the moment. Last week's report is still pretty much where it's at, but here are a few quick updates from on the water today.

The Moki are still running hot in Palliser Bay, and are moving further afield to other places such as Wainui, and the Fitzroy Bays.

Hapuka fishing is really going well off the west coast in around 150 - 170 metres.

Makara and the back of Mana are also fishing well, and check out the 200 - 240 metre zones around Fishermans for puka.

We will have a full report next time around so catch you soon.

Cheers

Pete
