Bowentown Bar flat as
Bowentown harbour - it doesn't get any betterMy youngest son Jordan and I took the 4 hour drive up the coast to Bowentown Waihi. One road was still closed due to flooding and there were numerous slips on the way. The Tauranga Harbour was flat and calm but a wee bit dirty.
Tuesday Jordan and I had a fish in the harbour and managed to catch a couple of small legal snapper and a whole lot of stingrays, Jordan was happy fresh fish for tea.
Wednesday we went out over the bar which was flat calm, we dropped anchor in 20 metres of water and managed to catch Kahawai and Trevally all which were released, we then went out to the 40 metre mark and put the lures out and managed to catch 2 Skippie's and 4 albacore tuna (fresh bait for the Nauti girls contest on Saturday).
Thursday we hitched a ride on a brand new Rayglass 2800 for the day, a bit of luxury compared to Gazebo we went out to the 40 metre mark for a troll and landed 12 Albies and Skippie's for the bait freezer and dropped a long line a couple of times ending up with a dozen or so snapper, Gurnard and Trevally. we also caught a few Kahawai for the smoker. the sea was flat as all day a big change from fishing out of Gisborne.
Friday we took the day off from fishing and took Jordan for a sight see around the area.
