New Article – A Bit of a Blue

Life’s true characters can be hard to find, but Blue out on the deep blue is a ton of laughs.

Night Fishing For Trout

It is Not For the Faint Hearted – But the Rewards of night fishing in terms of bigger fish can be worth it.
There is a lot to learn about fishing at night and some of the lessons can be harsh – as I found out. Read about it in Night Moves 1.
But once the lessons have been learned, night fishing is worth the cold, and the dark. See how in Night Moves II

Tuna Cubing Has Place in Other Fishing

Cubing for tuna has been a well established practice outside New Zealand, and in the last couple of years has begun to be used with great effect here.
The principle is very simple – cut up baits such as pilchards, sprats or piper into three or four pieces – cut up fillets of skipjack, kahawai etc. into cubes.
Then start feeding out the cubes over the stern. As one disappears from sight toss in another. Once the trail is established put a hook in a cube and feed it out under freespool so the hooked cube sinks at the same rate as the free-sinking cubes. If the bait reaches the bottom untouched, wind in and start again.
While this is going on it is essential that the cube trail is maintained constantly – even while playing and landing a fish.
This technique works well for most of our fish, snapper, trevally, terakihi, etc. It is also one technique that increases the chances of catching fish that usually take live-baits, such as kingfish.
