Diving

I have had 2 dives in the last 2 weeks and its not warm but there are plenty of crays around. Each dive produced 6 nice bucks, All of the female crays are still very much in berry (eggs) and will be for a while yet. I am counting down the days until scallop season opens a week and a half away, yum I cant wait. 

TERAKIHI

The last week or so the weather has been great and so has the Terakihi fishing with large numbers of big fish (1 to 2kg) being caught. The fish seem to be near any sort of rock structure from 50m to 150m. On Saturday one of the old favourite spots produced 70 Terakihi, 5 golden snapper, 2 john dory in 72m of water out the back of Motiti Is the area has alot of small rocky reefs that all hold fish during certain seasons.
