Thanks Itsaboat. Went around there today but nothing much happening. Looking forward to hearing about your upcoming fishing trips. cheers albatross.

I just had a look for the fishing times here on fishingreminder :-)
Looks like the best time on the 1st for shore based fishing in the basin would be from around sunrise until about 10 am.
Or if you're inclined for some night fishing, which is always a good idea when fishing from the shore, try the second minor time starting around 6pm.

Just make sure to check the weather forecast.
I had a complaint from someone recently. He got the fishingreminder email and decided to drive a long distance to some remote fishing spot without checking the weather, just to arrive at the beach in un-fishable stormy nasty conditions.
Afterwards he reckoned that our site sucks big time, LOL.

So a reminder to everyone - the fishing times are based on the solunar theory and don't include the weather forecast.
It's up to everyone else to check the local weather and compare it with the bite times to make a decision as when to head out.
We have a local 7 day weather forecast on the front page, including wind and rain conditions.

Hi Mark Funny how people blame others for their own errors in judgment. Poor you coping it when you’re trying to provide great info so everyone can enjoy their fishing to the max. Never mind you can’t please all of the people all of the time. Very cold & grey here today at St George’s Basin 14 deg with icy wind. No boats out at all. Inside with a coffee I think. Cheers albatross.

It is scary to think a person like that is actually allowed to drive a car :)

Truth be known he probably just forgot to take his fishing rod and has to blame someone for his stupidity 😊

Well said shawry, I might have to quote you the next time I get blamed by someone for not catching a fish on a good day 😊

Ha ha...My long standing bath tub analogy not good enough eh 😊

Well said Shawry,

Could not have said it better myself...although I would have got a bath tub in there 😊

I had to think pretty hard about this. I can think of 2 times I landed a fish on the last cast. Once it was my last bait and the other time it was my only bait. Not bad going for 50 years of fishing :)

Mark just doesn't like the idea of a bath tub...He is a Kiwi, ya know !! Pretty sure they don't even have soap over there :)

yeah love fishing in a bathtub. Haven't caught much though - aside from some rubber ducks, only during the major times of course.
Might not have soap, but at least we got enough water to actually fill a bathtub :-)
But pssst, don't tell anyone - I'm actually not a Kiwi, LOL.

haha :)

Only mad Englishmen and Germans have rubber ducks...The rest of us have the good quality Made in China plastic ducks 😊 and there are no mad Englishmen in NZ 😊
