Larger Fish

Thursday 2nd August,
Fishing from the Charter Boat Fish'N'Fun.
Decided it was time to look for the elusive trout on the Lake, we left Taupo harbour around 10.45 am. Reaching our boat was not without excitement as we had to be escorted to our berth by the contractors who had started removing the gum trees overlooking the car park.
We reached Rangatira Point at 11.15, and soon caught a 48 cm jack in excellent condition, the next hour was spent fruitlessly searching for another hit without any success. We moved to a spot opposite the Millenium Hotel, in the next hour we caught 3 more fish, all over 45 cm and again in good condition.
Returning to the harbour we were delighted that there were no small or marginal size fish, it was good to see they were appearing on the depth sounder at between 50 and 130 feet.

Lets hope the Spring fishing continues to improve!
