Fishing in the Atomix 420

Another very cold day on the water with Brad today.

Drove around looking for some work-ups… but we were either too late or too early as we passed heaps on Gannets sitting on the water and no fish apart from a very quick boil-up with Brad getting a small Kahawai.

Went to my spot but there was a boat right on it! That’s the trouble with GPS’s.. someone sees you catching fish and marks it and goes back another day!

Did manage to jig a few Gurnard and some good sized Kahawai… apart from the cold was a great day out

Atomix Boat 420

What a fantastic Monday through Friday.. NO wind and flat calm seas. I think all winter so far the week days are the best for fishing!.. then comes the weekend and it starts to pack up!

Went fishing this morning. Cold as with ice all over the car. Just went Jigging only… the weather pattern changed today to East/South light winds and the schools of Kahawai were nowhere to be found!

After 37 miles from Karewa Island to Papamoa did not see one bird or school of fish. Even my never fail Phil’s spot had nothing showing on the sounder! It’s hard going jigging to nothing! At least the sea was flat BUT the lght wind was cold as! along with traveling in an open boat! Change of weather pattern put the fish down?
