    Yup. I am rarely late😆
    Not worried. Had a ball. Got some meat and the rest of the day fishing here in Kenepuru so all is not lost yet.
    Will come up and fish the bay after my next shift with the kids and after I set the boat up/child proof it.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    I always thought piper was the best bait?
    Yeah we used both salmon and pilchard burley.
    Will have another go in the bay when I get back from work next month.

    Piper works fine on Kahawai ,get 2 baits out of each but I gave up on pillies & a variety of other shit a long time ago.
    Found bonito although soft & needed to be tied on with a few wraps of cotton was more productive & acceptable to a variety of species .
    If you want to try 1 of my rigs ,which are just about fool proof (handy in my case) flick me your address.

    Just got back from fishing Beatrix Bay with dad-in-law and his nephew. It's fishing really well, we caught loads of good gurnard, a lot of blue cod (which all had to be returned, much to the delight of the local shags), a 20lb snapper (which I didn't catch, but would like to have done), a 'cutta (which is an amazing fish to smoke), some kahawai (which smoke well, but not as good as 'cutta), a few edible sharks, and a squid (whose guts caught the snapper), and a fishing rod. Yep, I caught an old fishing rod, how surreal is that?

    The boys produced their new long-line, which only confirmed my belief that long-lines are THE most efficient way of catching spiny dogfish, and bloody hard work when having to retrieve by hand.

    It was a good trip, but my liver took a bit of a hammering
