Even over the past few days of very wintry squalls, some good fishing has been found along the inner Auckland reaches, with snapper, kahawai and squid on the list, evenings have been the go. With strong average wind speeds, and much higher gust speeds, there’s a definite South Islander type of ‘briskness’ to the air, hail hits, and ultra and sudden stillness, but only teasingly, fleetingly between heavy squalls,  and with tidal flow strong – landbased or kayak with an offshore over the shoulder wind sounds a good fishing plan.

Squid missions with a possible ‘by-catch’ of snapper is becoming an even more popular pastime, and suddenly you have many friends keen to get hold of any extra squid, or calling in friendly favours. Full moon hype is high on the agenda, look out next week! Could be the right time to get out and get into the Spring thing 😉 – next week it’s Spring!

Bring it on!

Cheers, Captain Espresso.
