    @BeeMan and I had a relaxing 2 days fishing at Tauranga. Ended up with 18 snapper, 20 Tarakihi, 1 Trevalli and a huge Gurnard. Had a pod of dolphins following the boat and had to maneuver around 8 container ships waiting their turn to unload at the Port. Fantastic weather although somebody complained about the wind slapping the waves against the boat during the night. I fished until about 8.30pm then got up about 6am but the tide was still turning so had a cuppa waiting for the boss to surface.

    A wee vid here on cinch knot vs uni knot.
    I have always used a cinch knot to a swivel or hook in mono or flouro and never had it fail providing I had enough line to get enough twists.
    Bit of vindication for me lol.....so quick and simple to tie.

    For braid I FG to a trace but in an emergency I will first double line....pass threw swivel then tie a overhand knot with 2 or three wraps then pass the opening over the swivel and pull tight.....dunno what its called but quick easy and just works.

    Sounds like a Palomar?
    Do you use a clinch or improved version?
    I am the opposite. I had a clinch knot pull on a big kingie landbased many years ago and have never used one since. It could well have been that it was badly tied as it was in fairly heavy mono but it was enough to loose confidence in it. Never had an issue with the uni. Uni also has the advantage of being very versatile. You can cinch it up, leave it loose for lures and join lines with it.
    Knots are a bit like shot placement. It comes down to what you have had success with and have confidence in.

    Good times with good people this morning, made a new net yesterday ready to put some holes in it this morning was too dark for photos most of the time but I got a couple as it got light.
    Fish staying deeper in the cold estuary water but we did very well in the end.

    What a great way to start the day. On the water just after 5pm, we amost bet the rain and home in time for a hot shower and a hot breakfast . Cheers VC and Stingray, the lad had a ball, bar the close encounter with a ray.

    As VC says, each time is different , big tides so expected an early flood , nope ..had to wait until 1/3 of the way through to see any real push, and had to go out wide and deeper than normal to find the fish, if this continues will be wearing my wetsuit top as well as cold winter water trickling down my back takes the fun out of things.
    Poor young Aaron was doing a haul with me when a ray hit the top of the net, didn’t snag which was a great ,but next min Aaron let’s out a bloody curdling yell and heads for dry land, not sure if it was the same ray or one drifting up the edge of the bank but gave the poor young bugger a bit of a shock! Never much fun in murky water in dawns half light.

    Great to have extra hands keen to help clear the weed and fish from the net, and get it back fishing. Great results for a wet cool old morning. Fantastic company as always..I think that what makes it so much fun a feed of fish a bit of an adventure and a heap of laughs and yarns!

    Cheers everyone for a bloody top morning out about!

    Great stuff, looks like you have a great spot for it there.
    We used to row the deep end of the net behind a 10 foot tinny when I was 12. That way 1 person is chest deep and the other end of the net is towed behind the boat. Can take a bit to get the boat end sitting right though.
    Nice haul for your efforts

    Updates please!
    I turned down today’s trip as deck-hand with my mate as back’s stuffed. He’s out there and the day looks beautiful.
