Softbait Fishing

Attention Firth Fisho's

Posted by softbaittuition on 29 Dec 2008

Well, with the holiday's underway our softbaiting trips are frantic. The Firth of Thames in full of solid Snapper, Kahawai and Kingies. The most consistant being the shallows towards Piako and off Thames Pak&Save in 5 to 7 metres of water or Orere point and around and in the Waikawau Mussel farms. If you are on holiday the mussel farms early morning or late evening will produce results in the 6 to 10 pound range. The best part at present are the large school's of Kahawai and kingies. Just look for the birds and some solid midday action can be had at present by chasing this sign.Click here to read more

DON’T SELL BARTER OR TRADE YOUR CATCH

Posted by fisherchick on 02 Dec 2008

Certainly the print and radio items have been giving us all plenty of information of things we can do to cut costs. One talk back show had many suggestions from callers including one from a caller talking about the benefits of bartering which enabled those who were lacking “hard currency” to obtain goods and services.Click here to read more
