Hi All,
Please forgive me for my bad English. I’m a Brazilian angler.
This year (around march, 20) I had a lot of fun fishing for 3 days at Thee Kings and could catch a lot of fish. But, unfortunately, we count find any fish (Yellowtail Kingfish) bigger than (around) 30kg (and just three fishes around this measure).
Initially we planned to fish 6 full days at the island, but after 3 days, we also had the bad luck to face 15/20 knots of wind and a very bad weather.
I may back to NZ next year to try again. That’s why I would like to ask for the experts jigging and poppers anglers (at this forum) who really know well the Three Kings (NZ) area.
a) When the weather is more predictable and stable to plan this popping and jigging expedition?
b)What should be the best period of the year (one or two best months) to have a reasonable chance to find and catch some (not just one or two or thee) huge (around 30/35/40kg) YT by jiggnig?
c) And how about the surface (popers and sticks)? Is it the same season?
So. Please help me to understand the best months to try popping and jigging for huge Kingfish at 3 Kings.
Best regards,
Marcio.
