Great Weekend for Hapuka

I went on the Karikari Fire Party Fishing Competition. We came home with 7 of 10 snapper were good keepers.

Our friends went out for hapuka and went fishing off Berghan’s Rise where our friend and local Nick Ryan ( commonly known as Ryno) and our prty caught several good sized hapuka. It is best to fish for them on the top or the bottom of the smallest tides as there is less current.  As we fish for hapuka in 120-130m of water braid gear has no stretch and all bites are felt by the fisherman.

So keep October in mind for great hapuka fishing - and your first swim of the season!

Dolphins are back & the fish are huge!

On Thursday a pod of dolphins lazily swam across the Doubtless Bay leaping out of the water and playing together. We are so lucky to have seen them! Then I went out in our kayak and caught a 15 POUND SNAPPER! Topped off a great holiday!
