Don’t you have a subscription to his intel service?

Unfortunately no. Some would say I'm polarizing. He didn't feel the attraction
I still respect him. I'm a relative newbie around here.

My OnlyFans Fishing Channel is not cheap.

Goldielox coming your way Jon

I started it so it's fair, I'll cough one up

 

[Rain City]

Why hasn't anyone posted a fish yet! I can't believe I'm not out there.

 

[Sea Chaser]

Boat didn’t leave the driveway unfortunately. Still feeling like a bag of *****. Good luck out there

Just dropped lines at the bell. Beautiful calm water and hooked up in the first five minutes. Happy new year!

Well we hit Entrance this morning, couldn’t resist the flat crossing. Early non stop action produced one 63cm and a bunch of 55ish, then a chunky 79cm at the buzzer, but I guess that doesn’t count for the first fish spoon….

 

[Matthias]

Good day in the sound yesterday! One 65cm and a beauty 14 pounder among a bunch of unders. Prawning in area 29 was also productive.
Spoons and hoochies produced equally for us

I got out yesterday. It was the first calm day in the last while. I dropped traps. Cracked open my new islander I got for Christmas/birthday. First stop Tunstall, no bait, couldn't find bait at waterfall or Grace. When I was at waterfall, guys were leaving for Grace. When I got to Grace I saw a group leave for waterfall. I didn't even get a nibble. I decided to grab the trap early and if I had enough time, try the harbor. Traps were loaded, I was solo and had to put back 20-40 prawns. Then hit up the harbor at 320pm. Fished until 350pm. One rod while I used the other side to sort at clean prawn gear. 2 hit that were unders and one miss in 30 minutes, bait everywhere. So if I was going out today I'd go straight to the freighters. Good day was had.

Fished the harbour yesterday from 11:30 - 2, to hide out from the winds. Started at the W mile marker and got a feisty just undersized fish. Crept into the freighters. Found lots of bait and no fish.

Looped back out to the mile markers and found the fish again between the W mile marker and the bell buoy. No keepers but kept the kids (who are still out of school) entertained.

Ran a chartreuse glow flasher / chartreuse hootchie on one side and the black Pacific Angler flasher / white glow spoon on the other. Spoon got all the fish except the flounder, which was surprising. Depths were anywhere from 145' to 175' on the dropping tide.

The fish are there, now and then a 62 plus will take the line. Great that you had the younger crowd along to enjoy the action.

Braved the elements today with my fishing buddy. Fished from 1st mile marker to the Bell from 10am to 2pm. First fish on just as my Avocado Dream hit the bottom. Caught a total of 19 fish with one keeper all a few feet from the bottom. Avocado Dream pulled in over half of the fish. We were typically in 120 to 150 ft of water. Great day winter fishing. Lots and lots of bait especially from the 2nd market to the Bell.

Great report!

Give that spot a couple months and it'll be lights out. I know they're there, but not worth weeding through all the smalls. I think that's why FM used to call it the nursery (or something like that).
