    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    The smaller ones taste grate , but anything over 10-15 kg is full of fat. The bullheads are good whatever size.

    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.

    I can not think of anything like it. Its nice flaky firm flesh and no bones just the ribs and spine.

    Pulled up a small one jigging around Kuratau. Pretty sure DoC? organises the annual hunt on the eastern shores.

    Koi is the next one on my list. Caught heaps of mirror carp-bream- and grass carp but never koi.

    Is it easy to fish the Waikato river or better to look for a private poperty?

    When you going after Koi? I've have a loose invite to shoot some, I could follow up but won't be till summer, I have seen them in the Arapuni dam, when water skiing, river below Karapiro as well, my daughter caught one fishing with cheese as a bait in the river at Saint Andrews by the golf course, Hamilton North.

    Not until February, do you bow fish or just blast them with the shotgun?
