March Wharf Fishing

Sunday 20th March 2016

I went for an afternoon fish off the McKenzie Bay wharf out in Whangarei heads. There were heaps of bait fish around and I caught lots of good size jack mackerel for bait and the smoker. I put one on as a livey as there were heaps of kingies around but they just weren't interested. I got a sea-going kahawai on the livey but couldn't hook a king. Plenty of piper around too. I caught small blue mackerel which is actually a type of little tuna. Some under size snapper mostly between 23 and 28 centimetres. It was a grim and rainy day. It's on these sort of days the piper really bite hard. Definitely still good fishing in the harbour.
