Down to Rangiwhakaea Bay from Bay of Islands via Marsden Cove to the Needles
at Gt Barrier Is.
Water temp is all over the place from 14.5c to 18c. Big jelly fish at the
Needles. Snapper fishing good, all size in very short order. With scallops
from BOI and Snapper from Barrier we finally have some Kiwi tucker.[END]
