and massive bluefin tuna being caught off the east coast โ Waihau and already some big barrels out off eastern Coromandel.
Winter hibernation by humans is just that, the fish are ready and waiting out in the local Hauraki gulf, and the fishing has been very rewarding whether casting tasty looking little softbaits and microjigs in amongst the mussel farms or simply drifting out over open areas. Prime winter-conditioned snapper are ready and wating to be caught โ with a simple, easy and highly effective method working well lately especially when the snapper are tentative/soft on the winter bite โ watch in todayโs Espresso Report video from onboard (Catch Fishing Facebook page).
Chase the dragon out in 40m+ (workups), stealth cast inner areas or simply drift with the technique shown and the winter chilly bin will be a snapper bin. Out of the gulf, those deeper drops have been very productive for bluenose and hapuka, when the wind drops so should those big rigs for big, incredibly good eating, fish.
WATCH the technique and simple method thatโs working well in todayโs Espresso Report VIDEO, have a quick look โ and see the real deal snapper strike of a microjig! And enjoy some wonderful fishing.
