Yesterday I drove over to the Bay of Plenty to pick up my trailer, Wow what a difference, basically its a brand new trailer at half the price, I recommend Surtees Trailers if you are looking at re-zincing your trailer, they did a very good job.
I got gazebo back on her trailer and loaded the boat, we headed out at first light to the groper fields 40 km away from the ramp, on the first drop off 60 down to 100 metres we went over a school of fish, we turned around and did a drift over them and a I gave my new jig rod a go, first drop a hit and a nice 10kg Kingfish, 3 more drops and 3 rats (small undersized Kingfish). Note to self try more jigging in the season. We headed out to our deep water rocks and down went the first baits and up came the first of many sharks - bugger. Murray said that we had a earthquake in the night (5.2 - 180km's away) never good for fishing and unbeknown to us at 8am we had another earthquake (4.2 - 20 km's away and only 20km deep) certainly not good for fishing. we headed back inshore to good sign but again struggled to catch fish. We ended up with 1 Kingfish and 2 small snapper and 1 Terakihi, a bit sad but enough to feed us for a couple of days. The quakes caused no damage, just the shaky isles giving us another shudder.
