November-early December has proved to be a nice productive time of the year when usually it’s windy and slow. This trip was no different.
I started the night mid papamoa Saturday at 9.30pm and fished there until 12.30am Sunday morning with just 1 Trev at 37cm hitting the sand.
Made the great decision to move to my low tide spot with bait hitting the water at 1.45am . Was a bit slow a first but at 3am it started to fire . Bite time lasted for 1.5 hours with 4 snapper beached .
1 @ 2.56kg , 2 @ 2-2.3kg , 1 @1.7kg
All my 3 heaviest fish had that milky flesh which was ok but no the the greatest.
Lastly I want to say if you are looking at getting a new rod , get a Tica Kazumi Pro.
I love casting it , fighting fish and how light it is . I’m very impressed with how it handles considering how light it is.

Good old Papamoa doing it again. You can’t deny it we definitely live in blessed part of the world. When I got to my spot on the beach I was expecting there to be a lot of NW - W wind but it was non existent really. Fished from 8.30pm - 1am at the first spot which produced 4 nice reds but then went quiet , then moved 1km down the road and fished the slack tide until 2.30am . Being able to wade OTB is where it’s at for me. Picked up 2 more healthy , fat reds . They were both stuffed with crabs. Packed up , fish on ice and in bed by 3.30am.
Location : on papamoa
Rods : Tica Kazumi Pro and Tica Kazumi Galatic
Reels : 2x Okuma 8k loaded with 8kg Sufix tritanium
Bait : pillies and fresh kahawai
Hooks : BKK 4/0 circle

So with this s**t weather hanging around for a bit I decided to go for a fish anyway as there was a slight lull in the wind around 9pm -12am last night. First spot towards pap east I got my 60lb trace snapped in half , which left me wondering. Let around 11.30pm with an empty fish bag. Went down to my go to spot to fish the whole incoming tide. It didn’t disappoint. Caught 2 good keepers ( 51 and 43 cm ) , put back 4 just over legal snaps , good absolutely smoked by at a guess a really good snap ( lots of big head nods and strong runs ) and lost a good red in the surf 10 metres from me 🤬. To top it all off had 4 drunk youth come talk to me at 2am and 1 of them tried to walk off with my big fish . Calmly and politely 😂🤬 I told him to bring it back which he quickly did. Wading in shorts and thermals is so good now water is warm.
Tica Kazumi Pro and Okuma 8k , Tica Galatic and Okuma 8k both with a fish each . Wasabi 5/0 KLT hooking them .
Pillies and occy for bait .

Glad I got to hit the beach last night.
52cm red coming home.
Fished 1st spot for 1.5 hours without a bite. Moved to 2nd spot and pulled in the snapper within 5 minutes of first bait being cast out . Dropped 2 other good rod benders . Occy and chovie mix getting it done

Rod Tip Lights

A great subject for discussion and everyone has an opinion about what’s the best colour , brightest , bang for your buck etc etc .
Is AliExpress the best / cheapest place to buy them ? Or is it Hunt & Fish ?
I was looking over the internet for different options and saw that these ones come in yellow/ green and also pink . Anyone used these colours ?

Well I’ve never been a trend setter or a person that jumps on the latest bandwagon but that has all changed as of now. I was given these by a mate to try out as we are heading to Ohiwa for a week. It’s either going to be a success or I’ll stuff it up completely 😂

Don’t you just hate when you’re wanting to try a new bait ( octopus ) and the only place that I’ve heard that sells it is Whakatane Iceman , get there and he hasn’t had any for weeks . Damn it 🤦‍♂️
