PROVEN RIGS!

QUALITY RIGS FOR ALL PURPOSES...

“Awesome rig, I love it. I find I’m easily

casting 20m further than my mates with it”,
said Mario Herbert, after catching this
snapper surfcasting in Napier. He was using
a Black Magic Longreach ‘Lumo’ rig.

A joint effort - this excellent 17lb snapper was
reeled in off Raglan by Daniel and Thomas
Geddes. They were using a Black Magic ‘Firefly 7/0’
Snapper Whacker. Impressive snapper boys!

Fishing in Rangaunu Bay and using squid for bait on a Black Magic
‘KL 5/0 Pinky’ Snatcher® rig is a recipe for success for Rupert Gates.
This snapper went 22lb and he said, “the Snapper Snatcher rigs always
seem to bring in the bigger and better fish, great hooks and I’ve never
had a knot come un-done.”

A Black Magic
Squidly rig was used
by Scott Parry from
Fishing & Adventure
to catch this
amazing ling fish
down in Fiordland.
The action can be
viewed on TVNZ1
On Demand.

Andrew Davies caught this nice 21kg kingy off Matitia,
Waiheke and said, “the 5/0 Tiger Snapper Snacks® have
been working a treat all summer. I fought this kingfish for 10-15

minutes as a mate had hooked a smaller one at the same time
so it was mayhem on the boat. We also got some nice John
Dory’s on the same rigs.”

Editorial March 2019 / Issue 230
Charles Dickens began his famous novel, A Tale Of Two Cities
with the phrase… “It was the best of times, it was the worst of
times”. January has been a bit like that when it comes to one
my favourite fishing haunts.
I caught my first trout on the Mataura River, it’s

considered the to be New Zealand’s premier brown
trout fly fishery and has an international reputation
as well. I fish its length frequently, from the Fortrose
estuary where it enters the sea to its headwaters
almost within sight of Lake Wakatipu. Silver
searun brown trout are full of energy and superb
to eat, while the wily upland browns will test the
most accomplished fly fisher. But it’s not the trout
that have delivered the greatest satisfaction this
summer, it’s been what are to Southlanders more
occasional visitors, the kahawai. I know that most
of you won’t understand me getting a little excited
about the presence of kahawai but in Southland
they are bit like hot summer days, you enjoy them
while you can, knowing that soon enough they’ll
be gone again. They are superb sport for young
and old alike on light spinning gear such as we
use to battle the searunners. We have enjoyed the
kahawai’s presence immensely, so on the Mataura
at Fortrose this summer it’s been a case of… it was
the best of times.
Until a few days ago that was. While upstream
on the river, a little below the township of Mataura,
while casting mayfly imitations to casually rising
browns I began to realise that all was not well with
the river, it looked sick, it had turned a muddy
green. After continuing upstream I encountered
a discharge of what appeared to be a blue-green
algal bloom from the town’s sewage oxidation
ponds. Probably a cyanobacterial bloom, a toxic

hazard to animals and humans. And there in the
bright green discharge plume was a brown trout
rising to take emerging mayflies. I almost cried. It’s
not the first time this has happened or continued
to happen on this iconic river this summer, Gore
has created similar problems with its sewage
discharge as well. My heart broke, I realised that this

summer on the Mataura… it was the worst of times.
Although a report was made and the incident is
being investigated, while samples are analysed, the
discharges continue. It reminds us of the battle to
conserve, repair and care for the fisheries we have,
both fresh and saltwater, which lies ahead of us.
Much of the content we have for you in this
issue reflects the best of times, standout moments,
special times and unexpected treasures. Andrew
Randal has related the adventure which saw his
son secure a 30 lb snapper, the catch so far of his
short lifetime. Alex Wallace shares the detail of an
outing with a mate and the children which, upon
reflection was really a best of times outing. Dan
Govier and a friend enjoyed a brief holiday and
success in Golden Bay as well. Scott Cushman
tells a story without words in his photo essay, his
collection of images give the impression of a great
time. Jeremy Viall, Michael Somerville and Mad
Harry add to the list of the best of times stories,

unexpected treasures and memorable moments.
Pete McGregor has put together a couple of ‘worst
of times’ stories in The Ones That Got Away, there
was upset, uncomfortable silences and implied
blame, he’s just telling it like it is sometimes. Most
of what remains for you to discover within are the
articles that are sharing expertise, experience and
knowledge to help you avoid the worst of times
scenario and move you towards the likelihood of
the best. Adrian Bell has some sage advice about
being prepared and Rob Fort chips in with some,
‘how to’ if it’s John dory you’re after. Naomi Peterson
has a comprehensive run down on broadbill
swordfish and how to go about targeting them
while Pete McGregor has added something for
those looking ahead to chasing bluefin tuna in 2019.
We do hope you’ve enjoyed some of the best of
times over summer and that they continue for you.

News
Industrial Fishing Depletes the Bay Of Empty
The governance of our
marine fisheries is under
increasing scrutiny because
maintaining highly productive
ecosystems has given way
to transactional advocacy
targeting every possible fish
that can be justified. Local
depletion and inter-tidal reefs
stripped bare sees coastal
communities and Kaitiaki
[guardians] crying out for
effective restraints. Clearly the
current system is not working,
and this is affecting us all.
Depleted fisheries
and degrading inshore
environments have an

impact on all fishers’ catch,
the enjoyment we get from
walking along a beach swirling
with life, and the legacy we
leave for our next generations.
In the Bay of Plenty,
Kaitiaki have been striving
for acknowledgement and
protections of their special
places and values associated
with the marine life that
surrounds Motiti Island. After

an arduous court process,
the Regional Council is now
obliged to develop controls
that will impact on fishing
on several reefs around
Motiti Island. While the legal
process is incomplete, this
does highlight the complexity
of achieving any meaningful
change to managing our
inshore marine environment.
As a nation, we have
enabled 50 years of industrial
exploitation of our fisheries
in search of export dollars.
The bulk harvesting methods
used have had an enduring,

damaging impact on the
benthic [seabed] environment.
The once-thriving regional
fishing towns have all but
disappeared, replaced by the
Quota Management System,
and remote landlords renting
quota to fishers working for a
minor share of returns.
The Bay has become so
depleted that it is commonly
referred to now as the “Bay of
Empty”. This is a crying shame,

given the productivity of the
past. Some of this history
was presented during the
Rena wreck proceedings,
where experts talked about
the steady decline of the
local hapuku fishery. They
presented newspaper
accounts documenting early
gamefishing feats, and even
earlier Maori trading of fish,
and catch data.
Many of the hard decisions
required to restore abundance
have been avoided by
successive ministers, yet when

we look out our windows,
the evidence is clear to see.
Trawling is still the dominant
fishing method and masses
of scallops continue to be
dredged from the seabed.
If we are serious about
addressing the impacts of
50 years of bottom contact
fishing in the Bay of Plenty,
we need to do more than just
give lip service to maintaining
the very habitat that our fish
depend upon to survive and

LegaSea is a public outreach
initiative of the New Zealand
Sport Fishing Council. The
Council has an experienced

The 2019 Surtees/Yamaha Grand Prize Is Now A ‘Quarter-Million’ Package

The most valuable “must-bewon” Grand Prize in history just
got even better, it’s now worth
more than a quarter of a million
dollars.
The $250,000 plus Surtees/
Yamaha Grand Prize will
be given away at this year’s
Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat
Show, at the ASB Showgrounds
on May 16-19. All those buying
tickets to the show, either
at the gate or online, will be
10 | NZ Bay Fisher

eligible to enter the Grand Prize
draw, with those buying their
tickets online getting a second,

bonus entry.
The prize package,
which features a Surtees
750 Open Cabin Game
Fisher, twin Yamaha 150hp
4-stroke outboards and the
revolutionary new Yamaha
Helm Master boat control
system, has now been
enhanced with the addition

of a $18,500 Hosking custom
tandem braked trailer, a $17,000
Garmin electronics package, a
$7500 Balex Auto Boat Loader
and a $4000 plus Lone Star
drum winch package.
The Hosking trailer has
been specially designed and
built for the Surtees/Yamaha
Grand Prize and will come
complete with a Trailparts
Credo multi-volt, wireless brake
controller. This will allow the

Grand Prize winner to simply
“plug in and go”, using any
vehicle with a 3500kg towing
capacity, without having to
install a hard-wired brake

controller. The trailer, valued
at $18,500, will also feature
multi-rollers, a self-centring
roller combination and a 15:1
winch. Rated to 3500kg, the
trailer will come complete with
Treadway light commercial
tyres and fantastic looking
alloy rims. The trailer will
also feature a Balex Auto Boat
Loader, worth an additional
$7500, to make launching and
retrieving a breeze, even when
singlehanded in unpleasant
conditions.
Helping the Surtees/Yamaha
Grand Prize winner safely
navigate to their favourite
fishing and cruising grounds,
is a very impressive Garmin
electronics package. Valued
at over $17,000, it includes
Garmin’s simple to use, intuitive,
twin 12 inch GPSMap multifunction displays with GPS and
chart-plotter. There is also a
Garmin GMR24 high definition
48 nm radar featuring bird

identify objects on shore,
at sea and at night. The
dual CHIRP sonar and 1kW
transducer will identify fish
in depths up to 600m and
enable the operator to see
the seafloor at up to 800m.
The Garmin VHF 115i marine
radio is a 25W unit capable
of communicating “over the
horizon”. A commercial grade
unit, it is also super tough
and includes digital selective
calling (DSC). A chart card and
all the necessary cables, an
NMEA2000 starter kit and
connections are also included.
The Surtees/Yamaha Grand
Prize will also include a Lone
Star GX3 Drum Winch package,
including rope and chain.
Valued at more than $4000,
the GX3 features a 1500w

News
A Good News Story
We don’t generally consider
engagements to be the kind
of news we would publish.
However, there are times the
circumstances surrounding
an engagement are unique,
quirky, clever and involve
the sort of creative effort
that is sure to make most
people smile. Sometimes we
discover blokes who fish are
incurable romantics. We’d love
to share such a proposal and
engagement with you.
Leighton Empson and
Brookie Lee, his partner of
three years, are dairy farmers,
contract milkers managing a
farm and herd of 250 cows.
Brookie also works as a herd
tester. They’re also mad
keen fishers. The fishing
interest began at about the

same time as the interest in
each other began to develop.
One of their outings early in
the relationship was when
Leighton took Brookie on a
fishing trip, she’d never really
fished before. They fished out
of Raglan and Brookie’s catch
of the day was a 15 lb snapper,
not bad for a first catch.
Showing a keen interest in
both Leighton and fishing, the
trips continued. Next capture
for Brookie was a 15 kg kingi
and in time she caught her first
gamefish, a striped marlin of
103 kg. Brookie was hooked,
on fishing and on Leighton.
The couple have a modest but
well equipped Mako Savage
trailer boat and it became clear
that their shared interest in
game fishing was becoming a
shared passion.
Leighton knew Brookie was
a keeper, probably because

she was inclined to buy him
fishing gear including new
game lures… and because they

shared quite a few interests
and worked well together. The
lure Brookie gave Leighton
for Christmas might have
been a hint or the confidence
booster he needed. Inscribed
within was the message,
“Without you I would be lost
at sea — wifey.” Leighton
thought it was about time to
buy Brookie a game lure for
a change. So, in January he
contacted Gary Stone at DTF
Lures and commissioned
a very special custom lure.
The head contained a special
message and the skirt colours
were Brookie’s favourite colour
combination.
On the 27th of January on
a game fishing outing, the
second day of two in fact,
Leighton set the spread and
shortly after asked Brookie
to bring in one in particular
to check, he suggested it
didn’t look like it was running
correctly. As the lure was
being inspected by Brookie
she discovered the lure had

a message for her within it,
“Brookie will you marry me?”
As she turned to Leighton she
discovered him on his knee
on the cockpit floor, ready to
make a proposal of marriage,
while the autopilot kept them
steaming. It would have been
much easier in a flatter sea,
Leighton says.
He held no ring in his hand
though. His suggestion was
that Brookie should check the
leader and make sure that was
all OK… and there it was, an
engagement ring also threaded

WORDS AND PHOTOS:
ANDREW RANDALL
The condition of this fish
was truly remarkable. It was
nothing like I had ever seen.
91cm and over 13 kgs.

I started my fishing journey when I was around six years old. I
would head down to the river with my siblings, and we would
spend hours terrorizing the local sprat population. Occasionally
we would run into bigger fish, having numerous battles with
large kahawai that would test our light tackle to the limits.
From there I progressed to fishing off the rocks, and it wasn’t
long before I was introduced to kingfish and New Zealand’s
most famous fish of all, “Pagrus Auratus,” or as we know it, the
humble snapper.

F

or anybody who targets snapper, breaking
the 20-pound mark is almost always an
aspiration. For me it took around 15 years
before I was able to achieve this goal. Not
that I didn’t have plenty of chances, but I had
to learn the hard way with
dodgy knots, broken traces
and pulled hooks, all leaving
me completely devastated.
When it finally happened, I was
so sure I had hooked a stingray

that I fought the fish in a very
unconventional manner. After an initial
howling run, it didn’t really do much, so
I tightened up the drag and pretty much
winched it in. It wasn’t until I saw the outline
of a huge snapper that the panic set in —
fortunately my mate was on hand with the gaff
to secure my trophy. Even though this fish was in
very poor post-spawn condition, it weighed in

at an incredible 26.45 lbs, in large part due to its
amazing length of 94 centimetres.
When I think about it, most of my journey has
been trial and error, as I never really had people
around me who could impart their wisdom, and
we definitely didn’t have access to the internet,
that endless source of information on how to
catch your dream fish. I would have to say that I
learnt through pain. Maybe not the best way, but
boy you learn quickly. When it comes to my own
children, they have been lucky enough to have
had an old man who has done the hard yards
and has paved the way for them to catch some
pretty cool fish.
All my four children have caught snapper, but
it is my third child Manawa (aka “the snapper
slayer”) who certainly takes the cake with
some pretty impressive fish on his resume. His
first really solid fish was caught on a beautiful
autumn morning at my all-time favourite fishing

www.bayfisher.co.nz | 15


spot. It is not a traditional snapper haunt, but I
have caught a huge number of kingfish there,
including my personal best of 40 kilograms. The
spot has a current that can absolutely crank
and even though we have caught snapper to six
kilograms, Mana was able to land a great fish of
eight kilograms (18 lbs), at the tender age of ten.
His second fish went a tad bigger when we were
fishing in spring at another favourite spot that
can only be accessed with an inflatable. It was a
very early start and Mana decided mid-morning
that he would have a snooze and let Dad man
the rod for a while. No sooner had he woken up
and I had handed the rod back to him, than the
reel started to scream. All the way through the
fight, we were adamant that it was a kingfish. But
as it came to the surface, we saw the coppery
flash of a big snapper. This one weighed in at 8.5
kilograms, very close to 19 lbs.
But as far as recent catches go, it is my baby, tenyear-old Salem-Mahia who has produced what
can only be described as a fish of a lifetime. Saley
has caught the bug, and been fishing regularly
with me for the last year. We started him off
on kahawai and then I took him around the
coast to see if we could get him onto a kingfish.
It was only ten minutes into the trip when he

landed his first fish of around 10 kilograms. As
the weather started to cool over winter and
the spring months approached, we began to
turn our attention to snapper. Saley caught
some nice fish to four kilograms in early spring
and even managed to out fish the old man on
successive trips.

It was in mid-December that I was beginning
to get itchy feet, and wanted to target kingfish
again for both the food and the fight. It was back
up to spot x with Salem-Mahia and my friend
Tim. Conditions looked superb and I decided to
concentrate predominantly on stick baiting. On
the first morning, we managed to raise several
fish to 15 kilograms but were unable to entice a
bite. It was back to my favourite kingfish ledge,
and the goal was to fish into dusk. Once again
it looked great but things were pretty dead. It
is amazing how a spot can look so epic and yet
the fishing be so slow. I had been using berley
pretty heavily and all we had managed to attract
was a huge stingray that was cruising around
looking for a free feed. Salem was mesmerised
and was so keen to hook the stingray, but even
though he was using the old broom stick with a
bait runner and 100-pound braid, I was not at all
keen. Mr Ray looked to have been in excess of
100 kilograms.

We were running low on bait so I cut an extralarge blue maomao straight down the middle
long ways with a single 8/0 BKK heavy circle
hook positioned at the top of the tail. Saley was
mucking around practicing his casting, not
listening to Dad’s instructions by throwing his
bait in close proximity of My Ray. He cast again
basically right at his feet, so I headed off to grab
some tackle. And then I heard the screams.
Tim (who was standing next to Salem at the
time) started yelling at me to come back as the
reel screamed in protest and Salem was pulled
forward nearly going for a swim. Tim grabbed the

back of his life jacket and I arrived to see Salem
struggling under the strain of a big fish. Blimmen
Mr Ray…
I think at this point it is important that I
mention the rule that I have with my kids when

it comes to big fish. The rule is that if they hook
a fish that they cannot control, I will generally
take the rod off them for safety reasons. The
fact that I was not present when Salem hooked
the fish was a huge factor in allowing him to
stay on the rod. Even though we always use life
jackets, keeping safe on the rocks is always more
important than any fish we hook.
Once I was standing by his side I just gave him
encouragement and watched as he battled back
and forth with the huge fish. It was after about the
seven-minute mark that my first shred of doubt
came as to whether he had hooked the mighty
My Ray. Even though there were still some solid
runs, my boy was starting to make some progress
and was gaining some line. There was no way
he would have been able to gain line on such a
big ray so early in the fight with his current drag
setting. And my suspicions were confirmed
when the bright sun reflected the shape of a big
snapper down in the depths. I knew it was a good
fish, but nothing prepared me for what popped
to the surface within three metres of the ledge.
After fishing for over 40 years, I have seen some
seriously big snapper, but I was in complete
shock to see a snapper in such great condition.
Panic stations set in pretty quick as I asked for the
gaff, but after Salem’s initial strike, Tim was not
too keen to let go of his life jacket. The net I had

It doesn’t get much
better than this,
seeing your son catch
the fish of a lifetime.
Truly blessed.

bought was designed for kingfish up to around
12 kilograms. My first attempt saw an epic fail,
as I could barely get the net over the snapper’s
head. I took my time, and managed to just get
the snapper in the net, but as I lifted the fish,
the netting tore under the weight of the fish. I
managed to wrestle it in, and as we lifted it onto
the rocks, there were cheers and hugs all round.
Having caught snapper to over 26 lbs myself, I
knew this fish was comfortably bigger. It looked

like it had eaten a horse and was in incredible
pre-spawn condition. Poor Salem’s arms nearly
dropped off as I proceeded to take photo after
photo to do the fish justice. There was never a
question about whether we’d release the fish or
not. We generally keep enough fish for a feed
and only start releasing once we have our fill.
The fish measured in at 91cm, 3 cm shorter than
my trophy, but with its incredible condition, felt
it could have challenged the famous 30-pound
mark. It weighed in at a little more than 13
kilograms (30 lbs) on the scales we had brought,
but looking back I should have taken it to
Waihau Bay for an official weigh in.
I was truly in shock with what had just taken
place. I tried to explain to my son what he had
just achieved, but he only got it in part. Catching
a 20 pound snapper is a huge accomplishment
in anyone’s book but for a ten-year-old boy to
hook, fight and land a 30 pound fish off the rocks
was extraordinary. When I look back, I have to
say it was a very unique catch. He was the same
age as his brother when he got his big snapper.
Just like my trophy, we thought it was a stingray
until we had seen the fish. And as I mentioned
earlier, it would have been likely that I would
have taken the rod off him for safety reasons
if I was there when he first hooked the beast.
For him to catch it was so much more special
and memorable than if it had been me. We are

not really sure if it is some sort of record for the
largest snapper caught by a ten-year-old off the
rocks. I would be interested if anyone knows of
one bigger.
Finally, I have never been one to think about
sending a fish off to a taxidermist. I have caught
and released a lot of big snapper and I have
always been more interested in just taking a
photo and eating what I keep. But the more
I thought about it, the more it made sense. I
always look after my fish and put the fish straight
on salt ice once I get back to the car. It is not
everyday that your son catches such a trophy
fish. Most will not see a fish this size in their
lifetime. Keeping the memory alive seemed
a great way to not only honour the catch, but
also to have a family heirloom for generations
to come. A quick call to Rob Fort and the fish
was wrapped in a wet towel, rubbish bag and
put on a flat board in the freezer for ultimate
preservation until it could be sent off later in the
year for Rob to work his magic.
I know I keep saying it but even as I write this
I am still in shock. After fishing for a very long
time and catching some amazing fish along the
way to be with my son and see him catch a fish
like this was an incredible experience. Fishing
can, at any time, blow you away with a surprise
that will be imprinted in your memory for ever.
Fishing fortune is no respecter of persons and

it doesn’t matter how much experience you
have it can knock you on your butt at any time.
You just never know when it will happen. I have
learnt over the years that the best thing you can
do is just get out there and get a rod set up and a
line in the water. There is no perfect time — just
time on the water. Now get out there…

STICKBAITS
& POPPERS
REVIEWER: ANDREW RANDALL

When the editor asked me to do a
review on some stickbaits, I knew I
was venturing into a fishing genre
that I was not normally accustomed
to. You see, I am pretty old-school.
When targeting pelagics off the rocks,
I normally use bait — dead baits, live
baits and even skipping baits across
the surface. But over the last few years,
I haven’t been able to ignore the surge
in both range and popularity of topwater lures. They have taken the New
Zealand fishing scene by storm and
have been extremely effective on our
resident kingfish.

Product: Ocean Born Stickbaits and Poppers
20 | NZ Bay Fisher


B

lack Magic have recently
introduced a line of
poppers and stickbaits
designed by world-wide
fishing legend, Patrick Sebile,
under the A Band of Anglers
brand. Sebile has travelled
the world to work out what
works and what doesn’t, and
has come up with a new line
of lures called Ocean Born.
I was sent three different
types of lures. A 90 gram
Green Mackerel sinking flying
pencil, an 80 gram Lime Glow
Chartreuse sinking flying
popper and finally, a 126 gram
Lime Glow Chartreuse superlong-distance flying pencil.
My thought on first seeing the
lures was that they are quite
different than any
others I had seen
before. One thing

that stands out is
that they are designed
for maximum cast-ability.
They incorporate side-wings,
low air-friction ribs and angled
tail-wings that further reduce
the effect of air flow during the
cast. That is why they are called
the “Flying Series.” And the
proof is in the pudding,
where I would say
they are the
best casting
lure I have
used. They are a very wellbalanced and compact lure,
making them not only very
easy to cast, but also allowing
them to travel through the air
at break-neck speed. I was able
to get crazy distance on these
lures, which is a real bonus. As
it says on the packet, this allows
you to “catch fish that others
can’t reach.”
A lure that casts well is one

thing, but it’s
quite another thing to observe
its action in the water. These
lures come with a standard 4 or

6x treble hook. I always replace
the split rings and hooks on
any lure that I receive with
high-end hardware. This also
allows me to try something
different, mixing things up with
singles rather than trebles,
and to assess any changes, for
better or worse, on the action
of the lure. The same low
air-friction ribs that reduce air
resistance also improve water
turbulence. And the side wings
give the lure more lift and
action. The key with any lure is
to work out what action works
best. There are many different
techniques, like walking the
dog, skipping the lure along the
surface or slowly swimming
it underneath the surface.
These can be achieved by
changing the retrieve speed
or cadence. It took me a while
to figure it out, but once I did,
I was impressed by the action
of the lure.
Fitting in a trip was a bit of a

mission as work

got in the way, but a window
opened up three days before
the full moon along my
favourite section of coast. The
goal was to target kingfish, so
I got the stick bait set up out
straight away. I made use of my
MC Works Raging Bull PE5-8
rod with a Stella 10000 reel, as
I knew that where I was fishing
requires a heavy drag to skull
drag the kingfish away from the
rocks. And it didn’t take long
for the lure to work its magic.
It was only my first cast, when
a small kingfish jumped clean
out of the water and attacked
the flying pencil lure. Wow, that
was quick. Throughout the day
we managed a heap of kingfish
ranging from 50-105 cm as well
as numerous kahawai. It ended
up being a very productive day.
Overall, I would rate these
lures very highly, considering
they are in the low to medium
price range as far as stickbaits
and poppers go. If you are
looking for something that
is compact, casts well and

catches fish, try the Ocean Born
flying series.

It was an immaculate day out on the Manukau. A brisk
westerly breeze meant crossing the bar was a no go, but
tucked in under the leeward shores of Mako Point there was
barely a ripple upon the water. As the kids gathered around
to inspect the mottled camouflage of a marble-fish, I spotted
a large eagle ray flapping slowly past us in the tide. He was
in no hurry to get anywhere and lined up on the gunnels, the
young faces were a picture as they marveled at its graceful
flight down-tide. With the summer sun on our backs and a
boat load of enthusiastic young fishers onboard, this was
shaping up to be a great day out for all.

F

or many people, me included, fishing is
enjoyed as a release from the pressures of
a busy life — the daily burden of bringing
home the bacon, and the day to day chores
around the home — and even, as an escape
from the family. I’m guilty, just as others are,
of enjoying a few stolen hours away from the
wife and kids — even though my two young

girls will often beg me to take them along
when I’m prepping my gear the night before a
trip. In reality, your vessel, environment and
circumstances will dictate the practicalities of
whether a family trip is appropriate. I’ve had
too many trips ruined by cold, argumentative or
sea-sick kids, and so I now know when it’s good
to take them out to sea — and when it’s best to
say no.
This trip, however, we had planned thoroughly.

22 | NZ Bay Fisher

There are so many variables to cater for that
you never truly know if the day will unfold as
expected, but the best you can do is account
for all but the most unexpected circumstances.
Fortunately, this was not to be one of those
days when things went awry. Nothing was lost
overboard, nobody poked anyone else in the eye
and not a single regurgitated sausage roll was
spewed upon the decks. And I’ll take that as a
victory for the two dads who game-planned the
whole event!
After our close encounter with the majestic
eagle ray, the kids were amping to get wet
themselves. Pre-clad in togs since 7:00 AM, the
swim was, for them the focal point of our day.
Much as I extolled the rush of adrenaline and
excitement when battling a kingfish, the little

guys were never swayed from the anticipated

climax of their trip — the chance to jump
overboard and swim to the beach. So, before the
excitement boiled over, we headed around the
headland to Orua Bay and claimed a 30 m stretch
of empty white sand beach for ourselves. While
the eastern coast of the Owhitu peninsula does
in many ways resemble the Coromandel (though
still within sight of the Sky Tower on the distant
horizon), there are very few people who have
discovered its charms. The beaches are quiet,
empty and spectacularly scenic. With white
sand, warm waters and fringed by Pohutukawa,
they are the quintessential kiwi beaches, but
minus the crowds.
While the kids splashed around, dug holes
and prepared sand balls for an impeding attack
upon our vessel, we reminded them that we still
held all their stores of food and were their only
means of transport back to civilization — and
so the impending mutiny was avoided without
unnecessary bloodshed.

As much as we enjoyed the downtime, the
tide was high and that meant just an hour or so
until the it began to rip through the Manukau
Heads. As the tide awoke, so too did the packs of
kingfish that roam the channels and these were

our quarry for the afternoon. Of course, the odds
on one of our youngsters battling and landing
a supercharged kingi were slim, but they could
certainly partake in the livebaiting mission. We
needed a few spry young kahawai for the tank,
and a rich berley trail is usually an effective
invitation that beckons them. We set the slick
oozing from the pot and sat down to await the
fish. It was a slow day for diners and, with very
little action, we managed to scrape together just
three healthy specimens. Two kahawai and a
lone mullet, jagged from a school that ventured
too close for their own good.
Time and tide wait for no one, so with a crew
again close to mutiny, we hauled anchor and
set off for our next adventure, the search for the
elusive kingfish. It’s been a productive year for
kings on the Manukau. Whether folk are better
versed in how to catch them, or whether their
numbers have increased, I don’t know, but there
do seem to be more being caught than ever. Most
of the fish fall into the 8-12 kg category, which
is not huge by any standards, but they sure put
up one hell of a fight. A few of the bigger fish are

there also. A friend had caught a 25 kg specimen
on a live mullet, at the very spot we were to fish,

so there was always the chance of hooking up to
a horse.
The westerly wind had really picked up by
early afternoon, and the flood of water from the
out-going tide was churning the sea into steep
peaks. We bumped our way slowly forward into
the wind, with salt spray blowing across the
deck and soaking the gang, who enjoyed every
second of the fairground ride. Fortunately, our
destination was somewhat less choppy, and
upon arrival, we set to readying the troops for
action. The sea anchor was deployed, to slow
our drift and down went two of the precious
livebaits, out into the flowing tide. I’ve learnt
that it’s never just the fish that need feeding.
If you keep the nippers nibbling as well, you’ll
have far fewer complaints.

We didn’t have to wait long for the kingfish to
show themselves. I’d opted to fish the mullet,
and within a few minutes, I had a healthy run
on the bait. Kingfish are smash and grabbers.
They hit the bait hard and then bolt off with the
baitfish still in their jaws. As line peels off the
spool, the instinct is to strike hard, but you have
to control your urges and feed the fish more line
to be sure they have time to swallow their prey.

Mullet, especially, are quite the mouthful and we
have learned to keep the reel in free-spool and
then count slowly to ten before even thinking
to engage the gears and set the hooks. On this
occasion the ruse worked perfectly, and as the
rod loaded up under the strain of a weighty foe, I
braced myself to hold on and enjoy the ride.
As with most of the muddy Manukau Harbour,
there is little rock or reef structure to concern
yourself with. You don’t need to muscle a fish into
submission. Instead it’s a case of loosening off the
drag a little and savouring the thrill of every run.
This particular fish was a lively competitor and
took me for a walk from one side of the boat to
the other. The children were loving the struggle
almost as much as I was. They’d seen and caught
snapper before, but this was the first time they’d
witnessed a proper kingi tussle. Lined up in a
row against the sides, they all leaned over to
catch the first glimpse of colour as the fish slowly

appeared from the depths. But the fight was far
from over yet. A few more dives for freedom
before churning the surface into a boil of foaming
spray was enough to send the kids scuttling back
to the sanctuary of the cabin. Grabbing the fish
by the tail, I triumphantly hauled it aboard, and
