Easter means predictable chaos and many people frantically going slow on roads at times, with weather and fishing a similar scene. Fishing will be very interesting with a full moon on Sunday expect some great fun fishing the skipjack in the outer gulf, and bigger varieties out even further is still on the cards. The tidal current is increasing but still with a nice medium flow, and with a change in air temperature downwards and the water temps are following sooner or later, many fish should be even more keen to feed. So really it’s just the curve ball that the big bright moon influence may throw over the next few days. Toss a coin, and go fishing to find out if you were right 😊. Good inner channel fishing first thing, good drift fishing the open areas for snapper over most of the gulf, tag onto some of the workups that have been popping up in 45m the last week or so, sometimes you’ll simply have a whale of a time, troll for a skipjack out between Little Barrier and the top of Coromandel, and jig a kingfish or two to. There should be some epic fishing tales to be told after this long weekend, enjoy making yours.
A great kick off to the Waikato Fishing Club’s Big 4 pre-Tournament get together and presentation earlier this week, rewarding in many ways, 2 way sharing of fishing ideas, a great night out, and the predicted foul weather – wasn’t!
The Hutchwilco Boat Show’s happy announcement of re-commencement in May, yay! An exciting prospect and one that will no doubt be well attended. Good news.
