Labour weekend is the first contest of the season, the contest was delayed a day due to bad weather. Sunday morning we got up at the crack of dawn 5.30 and headed to the ramp, the sea was calm and the swell slight, we headed off to our secret spot (Hams rock) we burlied up for 2 hours and caught nothing, with our confidence dropping we went for a look around the area as the sea was beautiful, not finding anything worth fishing on we headed out to tinman where we caught a dozen tarakihi and a pup hapuka, on the way home we stopped at gables and caught a small snapper.... nothing to weigh but we had a feed.
Monday we got up before the crack of dawn and headed to the ramp at 4.30, the sea was flat as, we threw out our game plan and headed deep to biastows for a drift fish in 200 metres of water, we managed to catch 2 hapuka 7.5 and 8.6kg, 2 small bluenose (beautiful eating) and 2 small gem fish (great smoked). With the sea breeze picking up we headed to south rocks where we added a small snapper to the bin, by now the sea breeze was in full force so it was time to go , again nothing to weigh in but it was our best deep drift fish so far.
