Sadly I can't make Saturday night, my Apologies to Maca, Rushy, Scribe and Happy. Sorry to all. Family function on the Saturday night. Will be there for the Saturday thou.

Never mind GA might see you Saturday.

Damned fool I am, I got seduced by the weather and the placid lake like sea last night just before dark and stuck the net out.

I figured the SW gale predicted wouldn't come away before daylight this morning.

Wrong, now we have a full gale and my net is on the move down the Firth toward Te Puru. If I do ever get it back it will be a mess.

Buggar and hell

yeah I got up at 4am to go for a hunt, bed was drier and more appealing, should of gone yesterday evening instead of Trout fishing. I saw that the Coromandel got a hiding last night.

Been there done that one Scribe.
Was a few days before it calmed enough to recover it too

Well I got the net back just after low tide around lunch time. My neighbour from up the back came down this morning and offered to go out and get it for me. He's much younger and madder than me.

By this time it had travelled about two kilometres down the coast. I wouldn't have even have considered setting foot in a boat under these conditions but he launched his little row boat and after it he went. He travelled downwind at a fair rate of knots and picked up one of the buoys after about three goes at it and tumbled the net on board fish and all. Then he had to run downwind to the next bay where I picked him up with the vehicle and trailer.

It was obvious the flounder were not very active during the storm as they are our main catch at the moment, but there were a few snapper hunting in the dirty water. A Eagle ray, several small sharks, and a gurnard were the by catch for the day.

great end result

That's a good catch

Same again Thursday or Friday am will be spot on Scribe!

All good Maca if you are at six then a couple of pedestrians of the side of the road and a dero from the park and we are there.

We can troll if we have to Rushy!
