A windy day greeted the mixed group from Auckland for todays Mechanical Jigging charter. We started with some Mechanical Jigging training in behind Cape Brett out of the wind but never got onto the fish – the strong winds made it too difficult to get out to the wider pinacles. After a short while I made the descision to go to plan B and anchored up out of the wind where we put down some live baits, and deads baits, and soft baits. The live baits one with one plucked from the hook after a brief loading of the rod and Rosemary skipper landing the fish of the day – this nice 25 pound kingy. James Armitage and his mate proved to me a short time later that Jerk Shads do work – though I am still a 6 inch grub fan in terms of soft baiting in the Bay Of Islands.
In the end I feel it was a pretty good trip given the 20 knot winds which were expected to gust 35knots from the nor west
