Howdy All The kingi fishing continues here in New Zealand. Our jigging trips are producing some awesome sessions with fifty plus kingis in a day, most released to fight another day. The biggest from last week was 23kg, a good sized fish taken jigging as kingis will do everything they can to bust you in the reef below. {%image_id=5167%} We spotted a window in the weather last week and went out wide to look for a 'trifecta' - kingfish, hapuku (a very nice tasting NZ fish) and snapper in the same day. We started off with a good jigging session with thirty hard fighting kingis and once the arms got sore everyone was very relieved to go and have a rest and drift for some hapuku. Ten minutes in and the traditional bouncing of the rod tip suggested a 'puka had come for a look at our whole squid bait 80m below. Sure enough the rod doubled over on a nice fish. {%image_id=5168%} Finally we rounded off the day drifting with softbaits for some nice string pulling snapper. Beautiful winter conditions, great fishing and beautiful scenery - what more can you ask for! All the best Carl http://www.epicadventures.co.nz {%image_id=5015%}
