Anything happening up North Island? Heading up in early July for a week.
I have heard that there is some fish showing up locally. Some big fatties coming off Duval Pt last weekend, couple over 30 anyways. I have not really put in anytime yet this summer, busy with cottage crap. Start this weekend so will have more to report.
Nope-- bottom fishing and salmon fishing is still very good-- Just be prepared to hunt.
Any helpful hints? Blown off the water today.
Lol Dave will be practically drooling by now!!Piles of Chinook at Duval and Castle the last few days and a crazy amount of coho just showed up at Daphne. Huge coho to, average about 10lbs, they are here early but no complaints here. Don't have to run anywhere right now as the fish are local. Wind is suppose to come down tonight so tomorrow should be go time.
Just follow the guides they love it
Actually, you're way better off following your fish sense and your bottom contour lines. Leave the guides alone. They don't love it or need it (and only crackers and scissor bills follow other boats)
And anyway, what's cooler then finding a pocket of springs all by your lonesome self?
Absolutely- my old partner said to me once -don't bother following anybody-we know as much or more than most!! Look for the signs-check your journals 'ask questions' LISTENI can answer that! NOTHING better!!!
