JIMBOB Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I saw the forcast today and just had to go out for a try headed straight for the needles along with about 30 other boats and it was busy from the start!............... 2 congers, 35lbs and one about 20, then a lost fish from a screemer! maybe a bass!? then a plump cod of 13lbs Then as the tide build the dredded red weed started. really bad by mid flood and cost me two lost fish! so we moved inshore and Dropped down to a lump of a conger! I got to test out my new kenzaki rod! I like it 53lbs would be good if someone catches him tommorw! then one more cod of 10lbs Great start to the season!

JIMBOB Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Thanks guys .........you thinking of doing a night cod session ? I have stayed into darkness a couple of times late in the year, but it needs to be a spot on forcast. But as ive found out coming in at night to christchurch in autumn on still nights you get fog banks somtimes freezing fog. no thanks!

mike02380 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hi Jimbob - it was me who waved from the other raider late afternoon, I fished inshore and managed a 12lb cod and plenty of whiting on baited feathers over slack.
