A bit late sorry.
As was last year I was on White Pointer with Johnstone, Gnome and Rex the owner. Sadly for us this will be our last trip on her as she has been sold and will be going to Broom in western Australia.
Hot warm and glass
Perfect
A new add on to White Pointer (fish spotting seats on the roof)
Work up of Kahawai (where I jigged my Kingfish)
4 days of waiting
Mid afternoon 50 km's out to sea doesn't get any better
The weather was near perfect for the 4 days with Friday being the stand out with glassy conditions well into the afternoon. Our 4 days fishing was a bit of a distaster this year with us not following our plans and heading off in the wrong direction each day. Friday was our best day with 5 Albacore Tuna caught in the 7-9 kg range not enough for a prize and Saturday I managed to jig a Kingfish at 17.9kg (2kg short of a prize). We did manage 1 strike from a marlin, but he didn't hook up. A 251kg blue Marlin won the contest followed by a 102kg Big eye (tuna double in weight 204kg) both caught by lady anglers, the Big Eye looks like it will be a new New Zealand ladies 37kg record
