Fishing in the Tasman Bay, around Haulashore Island and the Boulder bank has not been very exciting on Sunday 26th September and Sunday the 3 October.
The wind was up out on the water both days and there weren’t many fishing boats out, but a few were fishing from Rocks Road Nelson.
The only fish we caught were mainly small sharks that went right back and then only one undersized Snapper that when back also.
The Boulder Bank is an iconic natural stone wall that stretches 13km from Mackay Bluff to the Cut, the entrance to Nelson Harbour. It is a popular fishing area because it attracts marauding kingfish, cruising snapper, kahawai and the odd trivally. However nothing is guaranteed.
According to the Maori Fishing Calendar for October 2021 the 6th, 13th to the 27th are the excellent days for fishing.
The Bill Hohepa fishing calendar has taken information from a variety of historical sources, including Mr Best’s book, together with actual fishing research taken over the past 30 years on when and how long fish bite in relation to the moon phases. There are many variables that contribute to fish feeding habits including the effect of the moon, barometric pressure, water temperature etc, so the calendar is only a guide.
