I can't work out how to post the MPI fact sheet here so I've emailed it to you VC.

Awesome thanks.... I've cocked it up again by the looksDunno why I had the first of this month in my head for the new rules coming into force......I first heard of it from a Facebook post that may have been incorrect because I cant find it now.

Got 5 on saturday, forgot my phone so no photos.

Only 1 other net that I saw, pretty drizzly so that usually puts most people off

Quite a lot of manuka with flowers on them today.



If this warm weather keeps up we may well be catching snapper in the bay before we have to put the flounder nets away

Yeah. It's been strange. There have been Manuka flowering over at Kaiuma bay for months and there are even Rata flowering in the bush?????

They have been catching snapper in Wellington all winter....

3 nice size fish today.



MAF were there, so got my net and catch checked which was good to see. The officer said he hopes that the inlets will end up exempt from the new rules but they are still waiting to hear about that.

Nice day but mega pine polin in the air. Not sure if you can see it in the background in the photo but is was thick.....

Dad txt me up Thursday " wanna go fishing sat? Gotta burn some fuel before it all goes stale" Yep I was keen and said " How bout we take a diver?"
He was bloody keen for that so got a hold of @stingray and of course he was keen as always.

Forcast slowly worsened friday and friday night to not so flash sat morning......well it was alright but not ideal for what I had planned, we tucked up in virtually the only spot out of the wind and had a fish....very sharky.....drifted a patch of sign and quickly got our limit of blues.

Up to secret spot one and Joe was quickly back up with one smaller cray...off to spot two dropped him in and drifted off setting a long line....back up with another cray and a bloody decent butterfish!
How the hell did ya catch that with no spear? Im just that good mate!

Spot three payed dividends and that was the diving done.



Bit slack on the photos but limit cod and crays and a few gurnards sharks and a butter.

Cheers Joe Dad is stoked !

Set netting is overrated anyway
Got these last week , did 2 drags for 12 then hopped in the raft for a play in some new ground that turned out to be a flop so did one last drag toward the truck & got 25 ! , let the smaller ones go but still ended up with plenty.

Thats bloody good going dragnetting!
Estuary or beach for drags?

First course marinade mussels,then deep fried beer batter mussels,washed down with Peroni Leggera.
Thanks @stingray,the other half of"team good kunz"

Out with VC and his Da ..wind swell tide fighting each other made for a messy run .. got to southern end of Durville ..fishing was slow good slow ...diving saw two honest cracks filled with a heap of small crays ...did surface intervile ..pulled couple of carrots..dropped in on VCs rock ...stacked with berries females..scratched around outside pulled a couple of smalls and finally a good buck. No diving showed in my performance .Great day out with some great bloke company . Good sign off the bottom / mid water but nothing on the chew ..

@Boaraxa any tips , depth ,time of tide , slow drag etc .. just asking for basic advice. Cheers .. pm.if you prefer.
@VC glad your dad enjoyed himself,it was a bloody great day..snaps cannot be far away
