hapuka
Submitted by buxcey on Fri, 2010-12-24 16:20
We ventured out into the wild blue the other day to a spot we had previously
landed double headers of hapuka,but on this trip we only managed one of around 5 kilos
Although i could still see fish on the sounder we couldnt manage to get anymore
Do they only feed on tide changes?etc etc
or has anyone had similar experiences,any info would be great
as driving thirty odd mile and not returning with alot can be a real bummer

good question bruce.
the other day it was fairly quiet early but fired up quickly and from 10:30 till 12;30 it was good. Ill have to check what the tides were doing but to me it really doesnt make a whole lot of diff as you fish it when you can and i cant see myself venturing out there at night.

tides difinately
tides play a huge part in the deepwater fishing, i was fishing the same ground yesterday as southcity was the day before, 20m high schools of fish but no takers, hour before and hour after high tide is best, and normally three drifts and bagged out
