a tough day at the office but the fish that were there, were very scrappy. Two awsome couples on the boat and all caught fish and had their arms streched. A free jumping marlin gave a great display around the reef through out the reef doin 5 to 7 jumps each time...he wasn't interested in my skip bait offering unfortunatly.  JD from franz joseph enjoys a nice king in the morning

Canadian Sue had a great day and managed some top fish

Tim persisted with the jigging and got the rythm and caught some nice fish

Two father/sun teams on the boat out of tairua.

Bens rewarded with great aldi king

There have been some nice trevs about and ben hooks into a beauty

stunning fish for Sean,

uiltHe worked hard all day on the jig and was rewarded well

A lumpy day on the water today with single angler Kahn from melbourne. When you hire the boat for yourself you sure do catch alot of kings and Kaan landed 25-30 fish..."just what he needed" he said.  a nice shot of angler and fish

alot of fish ing the 15-18 kg mark but im picking this one got to 20kg

There are some monster trevs still stealing lollies and this has to be the biggest yet

Aussie John was back for another dose of kingfish - very addictive he rekons..."thinking about immigrating". Live baits were scarce but with only three onboard the lads still managed a top day.  john with his fish of the day

Rob fished hard all day and was rewarded with many kings and a sore body...kingies do that kind of thing.

Pete got quite ill but after a rest came right to knock off a few kings

The forecast changed dramatically so we were able to sneak in a last day on the water before a weeks worth of easterlie setteled in. I was joined by Dave and his team for a day at the pins.  Dave gets off to a great start with this fine fish

Huat from malaysia was just stoked to nail a few kings in the mid teens...."You want big fish u come to epic"...he chuckled

He was very passionate about his fish, they really mean alot to him

and Uncle Johnny topped the day off with a superb fish from the pah 5 - just in the nic of time as there were a few shark bites in his back and a few seconds later the mako was looking for his dinner around the boat.

A very sick sam made it thru the day landing 12 kings, this one a beaut
