    That is a frustrating, but VERY proud dad moment, when one of the kids out fishes you.
    Of every trip out with my kids, one of them (2) has caught something bigger than me.... I'm really happy about that (it's about to end though,... Really!)

    The fact that they love fishing and spending time on the water is gold.

    Must be about time to put them in their place on the biggest,...... Right after I bait their hooks, tie the knots, find the fish etc.... I might be waiting awhile
    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....

    Thanks @stingray. Yeah. Mainly a shakedown for the new boat. Mate is an experienced skipper so had faith in his judgement.
    Don't worry. The bait would have been deployed if the opportunity presented itself. The spot we were heading for was in over 200m and the wind was just too much to set up a drift. As it was, I only lost one lure all day (to the bottom) and we didn't come across a single barracouta??? Also saw shoals of squat lobster off Motuara island. Not sure why there aren't a heap of fish eating the fuck out of them.
    Good to see Kells still slaying the fish. If I were her I'm not sure if I would trust your knots though

    Might have seen you out there on Queen Charlotte @Shearer! (Or rather: not seen you) Yes the ferry foghorn was put to good use. I took out the little boat and drifted around grabbing a few carrots for lunch. One or two larger cod to be had among the tiddlers too. Good fun on light softbaiting gearName:  20210724_102515.jpg

    Yep nailed it good stuff @ROKTOY
    @stingray told me @veitnamcam was a bit protective of his gear

    My son and I had a cheeky drag at rabbit, sat arvo on the way home from richmond before all the latest rain.

    Was keen to test out the new net.

    It was pretty murky in close but gave it a go anyway.

    Drag number 1 = a lot of weed & no fish.

    Drag number 2 = a ridiculous amount of weed and one red cod (thrown back in discust)

    Should have known better after all the recent storms but had to try anyway. Net goes good

    I wouldn't recomend heading out there for a bit now. Probably be worse after last lot of rain.

    @kukuwai , glad you made the effort , I know the feeling getting the net wet ! I’m still hellishly keen for another go ...will check tides and we can gather again.

    Spring isn’t far away, Im sure it will bring flats in close,

    @stingray

    I was told today that recent rain events have overwhelmed the waste treatment ponds at the motueka river mouth and they are currently discharging into the sea.

    I'm picking that means cockles are off the menu !!

    Still looking forward to a get together tho. See you tomorrow

    I will definitely have the oldest boy with me, maybe both

    They did that at the last rain event and the shelfish notice was only for infront of mot/riwaka.

    Yep im not sure of the specifics Cam.

    I dropped my boat off for a service today and the mechanic told me the above info so i just assumed that shellfish were most likely a no go given that all the mot river water heads straight up thru the astrolabe.

    I have not seen a notice or any official info

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
