25.08.13 spring is near

Since the last blog I have been out 3 times. The first time was late July, we went out wide to look for Hapuka (grouper) and found none so on the way home we stopped at a spot we call Rope saw sign and dropped the anchor, we both caught a Tarekihi and then the snapper kicked in, 2 at a time at times, they were hungry, as soon as the sinker hit the bottom we hooked up with most fish in the 2 kg range, it took less than an hour to get the limit of 20 snapper.
The next time was in early August we headed out wide again to look for Hapuka and only found sharks, we stopped at Gables on the way home and were on to snapper straight away, we shifted on the anchor and were into Tarekihi sadly the tax collectors turned up (barracuda) and took toll on our gear, we ended up with 4 snapper and 24 tarekihi.
Yesterday we went out and went straight to rope saw sign and again dropped the anchor and again we were straight in to the snapper it took an hour to get our limit of 20, nothing big' all around a kilo. with the wind around 18 plus knots and a metre plus swell we pulled the pick and headed home to be all cleaned up by 2pm. The days are getting warmer with spring looking a month early "yay".
