Top of the south forum fishing trip.

At present ..like right now windy is saying Saturday SE 4knots...10 ks and then swinging tho the north 5knots about 2 pm which would suit a haul through to the pass and fish kingi's and cod in the pass or head up the eastern side of Durville ...

NOW I'm sure this will change !! So I would really like those who are going to invest serious $$$ in fuel and time to get here to to be sure that they know this weekend is a lottery! It could go epic and we get a window of weather or it could go shithouse and we have road closures and slips etc after this dry spell. Which may well mean we are stuck at okiwi or your bunking at mine in Nelson!

Just be sure you know what your getting into please! We can always do an April weekend or just next year ...I just don't want anyone to be dissapointed or put out ....We will be doing this again next year so if you uming and erring save your pennies and come next time would be my advice!

Keep us posted nearer the day. Wouldn't be leaving till mid afternoon on Friday due to someone being at school. If you can guarantee an electrical storm thrown in we won't even use petroleum based fuel to get there, a harness hooked up between the wagon and TR would be all that is required.

I had to chuckle after posting that NZ Hearld article this morning
Saw another link to the approaching Cyclone just after after that one
"we will have better accuracy to its intended path end of week" like - when it arrives we will tell you or if it goes into Aussie will let you know its missed us

I somehow don't think we'd ever run out of tales.

Oh, and @TimeRider has finally said yes to attending this year.

Hang on @stingray, You better get this weather sorted out... I have given the boy the day off school on Friday, I have fixed up the long line for the kayak shiny new buoys too. I even went and bought a roof rack to get the Yak to Okiwi. Now you tell us you can't guarantee the weather for the weekend? geeze what a blimin tease.
