TAURANGA FISHING REPORT 18th March 2017

FISHING REPORT 18th March 2017

Hauraki FM, Radio Sport, News Talk ZB.

Not much fishing going on last weekend with Cyclone Cook bringing a decent swell that really stirred the coast up. The last couple of days though have seen more boats on the water with good coastal results on snapper and plenty of kahawai around also all inside of 20m on both the Matakana and Papamoa beaches. Nice Kingies to 15kg taken from the Astrolabe Reef and smaller kingies in the 10-12kg range falling to both live baits and jigs off Schnoor Rocks.

Offshore the recent rain has discoloured the water a bit but with good temperature and still plenty of skippies off Tauranga in the 70-80m range it’s still well worth chasing marlin. No game fish results over the past few days but we would expect more action over the coming days as we see more boats on the water.

Coming up at the Club we have the month long GFAB Trailers Broadbill Challenge. This kicks off on the 1st May and is proudly supported by Decoro, NZ Bayfisher Magazine and Stoney Creek. You can enter any time in May, and to find out more on how to fish this event call into the Club or visit us on www.tsfc.co.nz
