There's a great bunch of people out here at Kapiti always waving as you past them on the boat, really cool community has been built up here. They have some great tips aswell, i'm really looking forward to getting into some KingFish action, which would be great. I actually caught one at the beginning of the year from the beach area, I didn't think you would catch them there so i played it more like a Kahawai. Wasn't till i got it to the boat that i saw the yellow tail and was amazed i got it to the boat with such light tackle. It was undersized, i think around the 65 or 70 cm mark.... yeah the snapper don't fight a huge amount - well the smaller ones, however you get a large snapper and its quite a different story.... I really enjoy the Kahawai on the lighter tackle.... I was actually thinking the other day about the health of our flounder population up this way. I remeber when we were kids and we went out surfing you would step on a flounder almost every second step and I mentioned this to my other brother who surfs out here still and he said he hasn't stepped on one in years... I just wonder if the drag netting is taking its toll? or maybe the river systems aren't the health they use to be... anyway we had a nice dinner tonight of fresh Snapper! :-) Yeah the website will be taking on a different form soon, i'm going to convert it into more of a information website with blogs and a forum on it, plus some other cool features - a bit of fun Petone? yeah i haven’t explored much past Pukerua Bay, still been very new to sea fishing.

You fellas are really becoming consistent with your fishing off the Kapiti coast. I work at Burnsco marine in Petone and here lots of good things about this bit of coastline! I'm excited about coming up and wetting a line there. The small school Snapper are great eating and fun to catch on light tackle! I will be in touch when i do plan to come up and fish there, and maybe if you guys are available we could go out there for a action packed day catching lots of good fish. I have a small 13 foot boat with a 18 hp motor that would be good for fishing up there. Keep up the great work with the website and the fishing story's! Tight lines Well done again.
