Hey KingiFiddler
Thanks for the welcome, and man I wish I lived up that way, the fishing seems to be so much better?
I like chasing Kingies, mostly with Yellow eyed Mullet, but have kinda given up in the last two weeks as the water temp has dropped to around 14 deg.
I live in Kaiapoi, so close to the Waimakiriri mouth, which, when the river is running clean allows for some really good fun on the Kahawai front.
Haven't managed to bag a sea run salmon yet though, not for a lack of trying. Coast line is too shallow where we live to swim live bait properly from the shore so mostly out on a boat when looking for Kingi's.
If you ever get down this way, we should go throw a line together, I'd love to pick your brain on some local knowledge as rock and surf fishing here is a little different from where I grew up on the Kwazulu-Natal North coast in South Africa.
Keep well and tight lines.
