High tide 7-30 pm, fished 4-30pm to 8-45pm, wind SW moderate, sunny
It was one of those afternoons "I am going fishing anyway" Most things were wrong, late afternoon on a sunny day, a bit of a SW wind which can cause longshore drift and dirty water, will I even find a park with all the sun seekers there, and there could be a crowd.
Well, nobody fishing when I arrived so I set up on the RH corner, my favourite spot in most conditions, however there was practically no wind, breaking waves everywhere and at times a fair current north. Over the next hour I caught one very small kahawai from broken water inside the sand bar. Next cast produced a healthy bend in the rod and something heavy out there that pulled back, then nothing, "oh well only a shark" but the hook was still there, and the heavy could have been the 6 oz sand grip sinker and a small fish?
There were now 6 rods apart from my 2, so I abandoned my spot to move down the rock to target a patch of quiet water just past where the current was pulling everyone's lines. First off was a small yellow eye mullet which I kept for a photo and for bait.
Most baits were returning relatively untouched, so were returned to the sea, next a healthy pull produced a good kahawai, kept for smoking.
From then on, a bite and fish every quarter of an hour or so
and I finished with the above plus another trevally and 2 more snapper to feed our crowd of UK relatives who had decended on us for our daughter's wedding
Towards high tide the current slowed and the front of the rock gave plenty of kahawai but only a couple of snapper, though one was much better than my ones.
Not a frantic session but steady untill 8pm when my spot went quiet. Untill next time -
