| 650974 | 2008-03-19 23:30:00 | As the other half has canned my annual fishing trip for Easter, so that she can attend school reunion, and looking for advice. I have 3 kids aged 7, 9 & 10. Wanting some recommendation (even better secret spots) to go fishing in and around Dunedin, bait fishing, as the kids get to fussy doing lire fishing. Have been up to Lake Mahinerangi, without much success, and have been down to Port Chalmers but only caught butterfish. Really wanting the kids to be able to fish somewhere and possibly catch something (trout) that we can take home to smoke. Would it be worthwhile heading down to Balclutha and driving inland along the Clutha river....Is there any easily accessable points along there. Please any information taken onboard. |

I dunnow...I cannot cotton to having kids smoking fish..besides they are pretty hard to keep lit anyway. |

| 650978 | 2008-03-20 02:28:00 | If Lake Mahinerangi is still much what it was like some 30 years ago (maybe more but I won't admit to that) the best place to fish is past the notices towards the intakes that say "Don't Go Past Here". Fish are not stupid so that's where most of them are. Have taken some really nice trout out of that lake but like I said - a long time ago. |

| 650980 | 2008-03-20 05:48:00 | Nah...fish actually eat for three to four hours a day (there are exceptions: sharks, piranhas, etc) and YOUR JOB as a catcher-of-fish is to know when that time is. If you arrive at siesta or nap time, you'll be fish-less. In that case, percussion grenades of any color work well. Also..a full moon (which is what's going on in the Northern Hemisphere right now) makes for lousy fish-catching. The reason? They can swim all night and just catch the shadows of snack fish or fry in the moonlight and eat all night long with no fear of birds and humans in the dark. Come daytime, their little bellies are full and you can't catch one unless you somehow drag a hook or lure through their mouth when they happen to close it. |
