Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Not sure how long to boil those for but it will be longer than 7min.

It was wrapped around a rock as well.

Good result. On ya Got Ya
6 months in the slow cooker might be the go

Looks like every one has been out having some fun......I done a westcoast trip on the boat, not many photos but had a hell of a time, crays, groper, trumpeter and one gem fish. Weather was as flat ass as it comes out there.

a few more from the west coast

Awesome!
I know that lighthouse well.....probably too well.

Mate of mine was filling in as a deckie on a charter boat when someone caught a large Thresher. He made the mistake of trying to hold on to it's tail when they were securing it and it flicked him straight out of the boat into the sea. He was not a flash swimmer but said he didn't need to be as he ran back to the boat

Lots of punters fishing out of Nelson today. Its a pity none of them actually know anything about what the speed restrictions are and where and when they apply. If the harbourmaster had a speed gun and a camera on the end of the layup berths and another chap with a ticket book at the ramp he would have run out of tickets.

Working up a mast in a 5knot zone while all and sundry burn past at warp factor nine is not much fun!!

This is one my pet hates, and I just wish I was allowed to do more about it than simply inform our HM, who has the spine of a prawn

Not so much of a prawn more of a jelly fish??

Had 2 jetskis go past at WOT well inside the 5 knot area and only buttoned off just past Talleys

I think its not lack or courtesy - just have no common sense
Example - fishing 80-90m off the shore in 10 - 15m of dept on anchor
Have 2000m on other side of me to other shore in Sound
The clowns go hooning past between shore and me - waving out like they are your best froiends
What do you do - just shrug

But that speeding through the Marina does piss me off especially if at fuel depot
Its amazing what wake a 6m pontoon boat at 6kts with 4 pax etc will push up

Well I never thought I would say this but..........................fine everyone speeding in their boat in 5knot areas................and big fines.
And safety equipment inspections at ramps and on the water, no financial penalty but simply if you don't have it you aint going boating today or you get escorted home.

Nelson harbourmasters have made a big deal out of no more leniency and out with the fines of late regarding the 5 knot rule..not that I launch out of Nelson very often but I cant say I have seen them police it.?

Had 3 of them hooning around just inside the bar at Foxton on Friday. One was towing a seabiscuit with some kids on. Outside the 5 Knot zone but if anyone knows the area 3 hours down from high, there is not much room. they would have been doing over 20 knots easy. I just kept on and assumed they would get out of the way since they were tracking all over the place. Actually saw a boat nearly hit the bar since he followed a jetski in around over the bar. lucky he seemed to realise just before he grounded and went out and about 400m down the coast to the channel
