Locked and loaded, locked down but not out! Now there is no excuse, time to get organised 100% for having the time of your life again soon, catching fish in familiar and new places along with a few friends faces thoroughly enjoying the chosen genre of fishing. Opportunities knock in different ways, sometimes loud sometimes soft, may as well make use of a few days or more to get organised for a classic fishinโ mission whether the next time permissible, or a summer holiday style coming up.
Watching gannets hound small schools of baitfish dotted along the Auckland North Shore coastline most days this week, out around Rakino, Noises and Tiri area has been an encouraging sight, right up to and after a blaring warning on the cellphone. The sea temperature seems to have toned down its drop and perhaps bottomed out, so fingers crossed for an upwards swing signalling some full-on spring fishing. Although this change usually means the 4 seasons in one day i.e. possibly more crowded house from not being able to go out as much as planned.

And yes again this stunning winters morning, sea birds are happily awaiting feeding time casually arriving and sitting around chatting out off the local coastline, binoculars only just required. The white noise of human traffic has dropped noticeably making bird noise clearly audible across the water. The fish will have to wait a little for some human presence, but as with many things, itโll pass, and weโll be ready. We live in a wonderful time of choice, how you want to catch fish is the question, not if. Whether youโre into softbaits, slow pitch, micro jigs, jigging, top water, trolling and many more โ the real choice is yours. Enjoy.
