"I had rebaited my other 
rod that I had left sitting 
in the holder and recast, 
checked the drag and left 
it again, then wandered 
back to the ute to get some 
food. Just as I reached 
the Tasman and looked 
back, I saw the rod get a 
big hit and bend over!"
Fishing over the outgoing tide was 
surprisingly slow until the writer got 
a good bite just before slack tide and 
landed this fat 2.5kg snapper.
