Posted by fisherchick on 20 Dec 2008

DON’T SELL BARTER OR TRADE YOUR CATCH

Posted by fisherchick on 02 Dec 2008

The summer period generally sees a noticeable increase in the numbers of recreational fishers out fishing. Most of you will have been aware of media items on the tough economic times we are currently experiencing. 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

Extreme Fishing at Waihau

Posted by admin on 02 Dec 2008

Mark from Extreme Sportfishing reports: "I just got back from a few days in Waihau Bay. Fishing was pretty tough but we still managed to get some real good kingis, including one over 25kg and another around 22. These fish were as tough an adversary as I have seen in a long time and was surprised that they were not bigger. We also got a few around 18 to 19 kg and plenty of rats as well. One thing of note was the huge number of barracouta down there that were ready to destroy any jig that come near them, have to say I was happy this charter group brought all of their jigs with them!"
