Geoff Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 A mate & I fished Bate Bay yesterday. The initial plan was to chase Snapper but even with a burley trail & a combination of floating baits & bottom bashing , they did not want to play. Other than a slimy , which we kept for bait , a sweep , the remainder were Maori Wrasse , all of which went back. Decided to try drifting for Flatties. A bit slow to begin but progressively picked up until we had a feed. They remained on the bite with most being 40cm plus. They lived to fight another day.
