b'FAR NORTHZ-Man Atomic Sunrise strikes again with a fat snapper added to the bin.We soon had one and deployed itThe writer even bagged a couple down on a circle hook and Craig towedof tasty JDs by slowing down his it around the school of kahawai for 20softbait retrieve out the back.minutes, but we couldnt get any interest from that kingfish.We went back to the shallows to drift using softbaits again and enjoyed more battles with the trevs and put a few fat snapper and John dory into the bin.The orange Z-Man was dealing to all species and then a snapper took me to ground, and I couldnt get it out, I broke off and then had to re-tie a new 25lb leader and started softbaiting again.The morning session was all action and then it went quiet just on midday and the wind was really blowing, well over 17 knots and chopping the water up.This front was supposed to be coming Saturday but it looked like it was early.With a bin full of nice fish, we were happy as we headed back in early to go and clean the boat and catch.Rangiputa is such a cool place, big trevs, snapper and kings all found there.You dont have to go far to find fish here, lure fishing such as softbaits works well on a variety of species as we discovered.I think for the next trip, we need to spend more time targeting the kingies.FIGZ16FISHING IN GODZONE JULY/AUGUST 2022'
