East Cape - The old norm
The East Cape fishery has gone from zero to full throttle in
a period of 10 days.
It has been a
tough, tough spring for anglers but now the tide has turned and the place is
hitting on all cylinders. Tuna, striped
marlin, wahoo and roosterfish have all shown up in volume with an appetite.
Our area has always had such a prolific fishery anglers have
come to expect great things every day.
The last 3 years fishing was pretty good by some other fishing
destination standards but many had expectations so high they were
disappointed. Now we are experiencing
glimmers of the old norm before being plagued with El Nino conditions.
