Northern Bay

[Rainbowrunner]

Late post but Ive been busy. . .
Managed a quick run across the bay for a feed of mackerel and estuary cod last week. Was almost impossible to get live bait at the markers due to the mackerel taking the live baits and the bait jigs with it. Maori Cod weren't legal, the Estuary Cod were small but legal so kept a couple and threw the rest back. Finally managed a tuskfish on a fake crab too, cant wait to get a big one. Tried slugs at the beacons on the way back and they worked a treat, gave up after a few fish and sore arms

Awesome Work! Great pics!

WHat is this fake crab lure? Looks great! What size hook do they have? Was the parrot at the beacons too?

Thanks again for sharing your pics :-)

Thanks guys - do you just buy them on line at $18.95 each or is there a local tackle store that does a better deal for a buying several?

Look great!
