Rockfisher, Jimijig, Jordan, The Hairyone and Andy did the South coast Saturday arvo and into the night, others were expected to show, but alas never appeared. We were greeted with clear sky above and fickle winds from all directions,but nothing which is typical of this area, a very good swell was pumping in which had [...]
After our mish to the south coast with big swells,it was good to settle into some smaller waves and favorable conditions at my local haunt.
Still lots of Spiny Dogs,Red Cod and plenty of little Tope around,the Kahawai are slowly showing themselves as the Whitebait are slowly making their way up Otakis mouth.
Hopefully the northerlies stay [...]
