A few more fish to show...
Here are a few more fish I thought I might share. Better than the poor efforts from last week LOL! Not recent captures though. First is a few snapper caught off square top island in NZ, all caught on mackeral baits.
These are few more snapper caught in a similar area but this time from a boat about 50 metres from shore.
A crab caught as bait for smoothhound and gurnard. Caught at night in shallow water with a torch and hands!!
Two baby smoothhound were released after gutting th mother fish. Didn't know they were there until opened up the fish. They both swam off strong.
Finally a blue cod caught in about 120m of water off Kaikoura in NZ from a boat.

Bag limits
Do they have bag limits in NZ for snapper, or is there so many they dont need it.

Loads of places to get pinks
Loads of places to get pinks from shore mate, I caught a lot of good fish from `the shore. They do have bag limits, it depends on where you are as to what the limit is. They are good over there with their limits the majority of people stick to them which is good.

I went back with the wife
I went back with the wife recently and went fishing in the harbour off Whangarei and we landed 21 snapper in about 3 hours (nothing massive biggest woudl have been 3-4kg). I think the back limit varies but my wife is maori and her family said the bag limit is 28.
