Nice ....thats right at the bottom of the N. Island......I'm obviously not getting my share

Thats brilliant well done mate What do you use for berley?

I've tried to avoid this topic as its really none of my business; other than from a tourists point of view. But Eco-tourism is one of the spin-offs from Marine Parks that your govt. is touting.........so that could affect me 60.....100........even the 250 Hooky said he heard mention on the radio are pretty pathetic numbers and must have the Govt. rubbing their hands with glee. If that is the amount of fishers in the Sydney area prepared to voice there opinion and sacrifice one of their days off, then I suggest you plan for a future with Marine Parks. I realise that you can submit you opinions online and urge you to do so. http://www.mpa.nsw.gov.au/

Hope that you all woke up today feeling like you just had the party of a lifetime

Great suff Crow, that was a good read First report of many.........reverse the score next time

...guess where to. Apparently will be here in NZ tomorrow with some severe weather

For $1500 you cant go wrong .......looks good mate, i'm sure you'll get heaps of enyoyment out of her

...even if the water looked like this??

Awesome catch mate Hope they're still around in another couple of weeks

Just big dolphins Kevvie...and they were feeding, working together.....one was slapping his tail on the surface to scare the baitfish and it was shallow enough so you could see the wake on top where they were zooming under the water to herd them...... Stallo....I'm across the ditch in Auckland Mate Now, I was very frustrated from trying to post pics last night so I just quickly finished the post, but one really cool thing that happened while I was fishing is that this guy who must have been 70 idled up to me in his boat and asked how I was doing.....he was heading in and had caught his limit of 9 snapper and some of good size After letting me see the fish he said I'm sorry I 'm showing off, but I've been fishing this area for 60 years and know where they are........and then proceeded to tell me exactly how to line up landmarks to put me on the spot ........I think next year is gonna be good Kevvie I think from this pic you can see the dolphin nose.......and that house you see there......I only live 100 metres behind that well....maybe not. Before I reduced it you could see its bottle nose...I think

Well apparently I cant post any more pics after this one........ Well i guess I gotta finish without a pic of my 4 snappers nothing big but a great day out Heres a pic of the baby snaps... I'm not sure whats happening with my posting of attachments

Hi guys, worked til midnite last night, then a few beers when I got home so didnt get up till 9am this morning and the weather was so nice that I just had to take a long overdue venture out on the beautiful Waitemata. The water was like a mill pond......Idont get too many days a year like this ( actually the last 3 have been the same).. went out to one of my usual haunts on the edge of our local marine reserve and for the first time ever I recieved a visit from the Department of Conservation ....... They thought I was alittle too close to the edge of the reserve and that my line maty be straying into it ..........what do you think... There was absolutely no action there at all so I decided to move back toward shore to one of my favourite old pozzies. I had purposely not filled my fuel tank thinking that my season was over and then I get weather like this where I could have gone anywhere. I was getting heaps of bites but they were all small and had thrown a couple back when I spotted these guys.... to be continued

Wow, great pics......what a set of teeth

Camera....needed for the report that you are gonna make when you get back

Haha...acyually if you click on most viewed its still there

Congrats on that beauty Cid........and thats really a top pic of her

Rohit, thats great news mate Good things happen to good people....way to go We'll chat on the way to ATB

Congratulations on the PB......thats excellent

Hi Guys, saw these pics at an NZ site and thought you might be interested to see them here. These pics are taken at the Poor Knights Islands which are in a Marine Reserve. From these pics its pretty hard to argue that Reserves dont work.......perhaps just in moderation photo credity to thesnapperwhisperer who was diving at said location These Islands are about 15 miles out from Tutukaka. Remember my last Fishing Report with the Kingy was from Matapouri....the last time I had a fish

Here a link to a quick video clip of an angler maybe too eager to get his Marlin in http://s63.photobucket.com/albums/h132/man...lin_Collide.flv

I see the Kingfish is very close second and I wouldnt be surprised to see it top the Jew Its my personal choice.....and I started this poll because it has been all the Kingi reports posted at Fishraider this season that made me realise what a Great fish it is to catch
