Get hooked...how to catch TarakihiLike most fishermen, I enjoy trying out all the

new techniques that have become popular in

recent years such as soft-baiting, stick-baiting

and mechanical jigging. Having so many

exciting options on offer can make it easy to

forget the basics: a simple two-hook flasher

rig with a piece of bait. However, this simple

approach has never stopped working and I

still enjoy using it, especially when targeting

tarakihi.

Tarakihi are abundant around most of New Zealand, on

both foul and soft bottoms, and there are two different

species: king tarakihi and the more prolific common

tarakihi. King tarakihi are found in deeper water, mostly

around the larger offshore reefs such as the Three Kings

and Ranfurly Banks, but here I will explain how I fish for

the more common tarakihi, which we get down here in

Wellington and can be caught in depths anywhere from

120 metres plus. Source: fishing.net.nz
