Better weather, better fishing, better be out there! What a great start to the season over Labour Weekend with hundreds of boats enjoying the Hauraki Gulf including the armada of yachts up and down the coast along with most of those that could – out and about getting into their fishing.
Good activity and some excellent catches of snapper, kahawai, kingfish, John Dory, some gurnard too. A slowing down or tightening of the bite time could be on the cards as the full moon effect comes into force over the next few days. However there is good fishing to be had for sure. The overriding urge to feed is strong right now and there is plenty of bounty waiting.
Workups are on all over the gulf, Firth, east of Flat Rock, Kawau, GT Barrier, Whangaparaoa bay, Colville and open area drift fishing is productive and in close is also good – inner areas like the Noises, Crusoe and the harbour channels have seen some good snapper caught, good early stuff!
Big game hunters are on call โ slender tuna have been caught recreationally BOP, Coromandel Far North and out of Whangarei, bigger predators must be hot on their tail fins.
Thereโs not much more to add to your current fishing fortunes, you know what to do, as you know you canโt catch fish at home. November is traditionally one of the most intense fishing months of the year in the Hauraki Gulf and it starts this weekend. Good fishing and good times directly ahead!
If youโre not sure what lures to use, thatโs easy and save money too, a Catch Value Pack is a hand selected range of well known high performing lures in a waterproof box, for you, your fishing mate or family fishing fanatic to enjoy. So the next time youโre out there, youโre ready, locked and loaded for fishing action and capturing those magic smiles holding a great fish, making memories for a lifetime.
