Its actually heaps of fun

One thing that we do that works really well is have a rod on standby all rigged up with a jig (right up your ally ah shearer)

Often heaps of kingis follow up the hooked fish and someone who is free starts working the jig. More often than not this leads to another hooked fish.

It has even worked once with tuna, we had two hooked on the trolling lures and when we could see them mum dropped the jig (on this occasion a shimano bottom ship) and it instantly hooked another tuna.

It lead to total bedlam as there were only 3 of us on the boat but we eventually got them all in

We are at tuts now. Stopped at whangarei heads for 20mins and was on for snapper. Big bird work up. And big slop... 1 to 2 m wave sets, 25 to 35 knots. Wind up arse so all OK, but get stuffed if heading south

so after such a piss poor effort last Saturday I've just been itching to get back out there. Back out too the 20m mark which didn't work last week and tried a new spot in 30m + which wasn't a really good idea when your set lines are only setup for 25m. All in all, 2 good snaps per setline and 3 cod on the rods.

Finally

Nice snap VC.

So out with @stingray this morning nice and early to get the last of the tide running out with the change of light.
Joe was fizzing to get into them....so much so he couldn't wait for the burly to defrost and promptly cut his thumb off with my freshly sharpened bait knife to get some blood in the water
Wrapped him up in a tea towel to try stem the flow while I got the burly and a bait out.....I would expect the same treatment or worse
Busted open the first aid kit and got some layers of stuff on there and into the fishing.
Me first up on the new rod reel combo .
Then one of the straylines went...we had four good snaps in the bin and it wasn't even 6 am yet 😎




We missed(cocked up) a couple of nice fish as things were very busy for a bit but then the tide and current slackened and things went quiet.....another fish each over the slow water and we made the call to pick up longline and come in rather than sit threw 3 hours of slack water fishing.
5 snapper and a bloody big 7giller on longline.
Back on trailer at 9am home and everything washed down and done at 10am....how good

Yes that is quite early? I thought about going out, ended up just taking the kids out the harbor for lunch and a kayak.

I hate sitting threw the top or bottom of tide waiting for something to happen with no bloody current.
Change of light either morning or night with current has always been good to me

My middle daughter, this weekend just gone by.



Did dad end up with any? No he didn’t. Mind you she is about ninety kilometres away.

Weather window on Sunday evening meant it was time for another father/son fishing trip. Two hours to catch a legal snapper before bedtime, no pressure!
