Very snotty conditions on Sunday!  I gave it a crack, but the weather wasn't getting any better, so I called it a day.  Back to shore at 10 am.  Apologies for not attending the prize-giving; I had an emergency call from the missus to head back urgently.  Turns out it was over nothing.  

I'll be back next year for another crack. Well done to the participants and the winner.

Hehe I didn't even come close Kevin! My best was 30g short of averaqge weight. Well done to forum member Wayno who is the first to ever win it twice! Even scarier, when he won it in 2013 he also won the raffle. Back then it was a 1 litre of rum. Thisyear it was a Shimano rod and reel set with a retail of close to $1000.00!

So good to have Wayno and his mate Barry stay with us, it has become a tradition. 

Ironically where we went for the last two hours from 1.00pn was about 300m from where Wayno was fishing. He said he didn't catch any fish after midday. It was our best spot!

We caught 7 gurnard, two snapper and 4 kahawai. Wayno & Barry got 24 gurnard!  What a great result. Winning fish was 1.18kg

Bugger, the only way we can swap tickets is like for like and while a couple have come up they have been club member tickets. Hope you get your motor sorted, shouldn't be a biggie. Next year!]]> Fri, 05 Jun 2026 18:56:16 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=140130&PID=1845073&title=2026-grunter-hunter#1845073 <![CDATA[2026 Grunter Hunter : smudge wrote: Telecaster...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=140130&PID=1845072&title=2026-grunter-hunter#1845072 Author: Telecaster

I hought i had a ticket for you but it fell through. There is still hope! Not much, but yeah...

Don't worry about it, I ran my motor out of fuel last weekend (line was pinched under the tank) and it must have sucked some crap thru the filter, wouldn't idle and hard to start. So the carb is currently off the engine and my brother is going to strip and clean it for me, so no boating for me this weekend! Hope the comp goes well.

Thanks Guys. I'll have another go as soon as the weather and work miss-align. I have Kahawai and Mullet.  ]]> Thu, 04 Jun 2026 20:58:47 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=140130&PID=1845067&title=2026-grunter-hunter#1845067 <![CDATA[2026 Grunter Hunter : Telecaster wrote:I&#039;ve...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=140130&PID=1845066&title=2026-grunter-hunter#1845066 Author: smudge

I use skipjack or kahawai that's been in the freezer for a shile. Mullet works well also. I haven't had much luck with squid but off the west coast it seems to work as well as any. I have no idea why.]]> Thu, 04 Jun 2026 06:25:19 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=140130&PID=1845061&title=2026-grunter-hunter#1845061
