Ended up going fishing up near the wall on Friday and I had some good luck got a few nice yellas and then this morning I hooked an absolute monster and it instantly bent out the little assist hooks on my tt switchprawn, still spewing I lost the fish but I don’t think I even had a chance, my bad luck streak had ran out in the end but there’s always just a big fish that gets away I guess 😂

Hey mate, I’ve been camped at glendinning since Tuesday morning and only caught a few Redfin, any tips on what speed to troll, what depth, etc? Because I’ve almost lost all hope, I’ve been trolling a couple size 3 stump jumpers at around 4m and 4kph and as I said have caught barely anything and need a few tips on what to do
@rawlosfishing12 күн бұрын
Hi mate, the bite has been in the mornings for me and all over by lunch time. I've tried to match the hatch and use small redfin / perch or minnow coloured lures. Don't be scared to go as slow as you can and get as close to the bank as possible. The Berkley Twitcher and Rapala Shad Rap lures have been really successful in my trips, for some reason they're taking the smaller lures. I'm hoping to be up there Saturday if you're still there, come say g'day. Orange DMax.

At the moment I go as shallow as I can, I have to downgrade the lure size though to adjust. Reason for the shallows is the warmth, today was two to four metres.

Thank you, we had an amazing trip. I travelled with my own reels, they're Shimano Stradic 6000's which were loaded with 30lb braid. The rods were various Daiwa and Shimano sticks provided by the trip organiser. Don't be scared to fish light, if you start losing too much line the skipper will assist and chase the fish. The locals use reels as small as 2500, 3000.

Hi. a comment from Sweden....I don't know if that river has connection to the sea, but that fish is far more a big Seatrout than a Brown Trout. To many small spots to be a Brown I think. In Sweden we have them both, often in the same rivers. Our Brown is brown with red spots and the Seatrout is just silver when it cames from the sea to spawn. Fantastic fish anyway. :-)

Hi and thankyou for watching, the area we were fishing is in the central part of the south island of New Zealand, no connection to the ocean that I know of. They do have sea run Chinook Salmon in NZ however, I'll do some homework for you.
