Kawhia / Raglan
fishing report
June 26, 2020
There’s plenty happening out there this week. The easterly winds have been pretty fresh, but very fishable as there’s not so much swell. We have been fishing in around the forty-seven to fifty-five metre zone south of the bar leads, and getting some very nice snapper, and plenty of gurnard. There’s a lot of folks that prefer gurnard to snapper for the table, so getting a few good sized grunters on board is a welcome addition to the catch.
We’ve had some of our clients catching up to a dozen of these tasty morsels as well as nearly limiting on the snapper.
Spiny dogs have been a problem occasionally, generally out deep deeper than fifty to sixty metres, so to avoid this we have been trying in a bit closer. The thirty metre mark has been showing plenty of bird life and turning up a good mixed bag of fish.
We’ve also had reports of good sized snapper right in close with a little berley and fishing stray lines.
Cheers
Rob
