    Thanks heaps you guys for a fantastic afternoon

    As predicted good yarns, plenty of laughs and even caught a feed at the end of it all !!

    Just say the word I'm already looking forward to the next one.

    Sorry no photos of the fish but i did snap these two right at the end.




    @stingray I hope that last drag was a fruitful one. "Just one more, im keen !!" @veitnamcam that gear is a perfect fit for olly so a massive thank you for that !!!

    PS : I lost count how many times he said on the way home "that was awesome dad !!"

    Who would be a fisherman, plan a trip , weather , does what it likes. So we gathered a top team of experienced drag netters.

    An Olympic team of experience, and youth! @Vietnamcam @kukuwai, @ROKTOY myself, flounder dog , rouge dog and an USSR import, we had our bases covered!
    Plus we added three young blokes ..keen as hell. It was the perfect team.

    So we gathered at the beach, yarned until @kukuwai pulled us into line and recommended to us we suited up! Then we set sail for the water, net , buckets , ice and dogs!

    We were up stoppable

    So out we went net set dragging commenced ...the team on the beach waited and watch , hauled her in ...nada , nothing ,zip , zero ...out again same result ...

    Panic set in so we dug deep , and harvested some cockles, whilst the youth dug VC and KW did a sneaky drag! As they hauled towards the shore the net erupted with a large ray being fouled, VC wandered out quietly and calmly shook the beast loose! Then as we gathered the net in , two nice flounder!

    Well that set a fire under our arses, net cleared and out it went again, slowly slowly , VC helping getting it out of the shallows and getting the crucial belly in the net , Olly and myself dragging ,nothing nothing boom , Olly yells see that ! It’s a rig , let’s get it in , so we hauled it up the beach!
    Dad me VC roktoy all smiling ..

    Pumped a great rig, and another flounder , Kukuwai and his lad had to leave us and the flood was filling the sand flats so one last drag snagged us two more sweet fish , binned the net , wandered home , the team being good buggers , stretched the net out, shook out the weed and sticks , packed it away and my great lady drove us home as we enjoyed as beer!

    Great day ,sun on our backs , yarns fishing , a feed and wonderful company!

    Thank you everyone
    Nil durum volenti !!

    When's the next one..??
    The afternoon was a bit cool, and breezy, but a net, some fishes and some good company were a good distraction.
    It was good to get out with a couple of new faces, Kukuwai's lad was as keen as, which was cool to see, he seemed impressed by VCs wrangling job on the stingray (fishy one not the fisherman) and also by how quickly the small rig was dispatched and processed. He dragged nets, mucked in on gutting duties too.
    The other young uns and the import dug a decent haul of cockles whilst Stingray was out deep washing his armpits and dragging the net.

    Tea tonight was tasty. Cheers lads. Aaron steamed us a heap of cockles and that with some fresh bread and pasta did the job nicely. even my darling wife snuck some off the plate too.
    Aaron is dropping Rig off to his Nana tomorrow morning. Pretty sure he is trying to score Brownie Points, as she only seems to like Rig, turned down the flounder he offered her. ( No accounting for taste I guess)

    Well that was an adventure, @veitnamcam bullied me into getting up in the dark and taking his boat out for a run this morning as he had made a few alterations to it and his motor needed a run. So we set out , then to my horror VC wanted to set hook line, so out that went and we set to fishing.

    Myself being sick of spikes went with a Baku knock off, VC went with bait, well we sat and watched the goats and watched the weather clag in, with plenty of current not a single bite a move was called for so I put my rod in the holder and hauled the anchor, and away we went, down with the anchor and return to my rod to find my bit runner left on and my shiny thing plus a spool full of braid had being lost to the fishing gods!

    Not how I had planned this epic day of fishing! So we sat in the rain soaking baits with still not a nibble no carrots no sharks nothing, so VC relented and it was agreed we would go bash some cod!

    even they refused to bite, so with the light rain now approaching medium to heavy rain it was decided to check the hook line, up she came very first hook a beautiful carrot , second hook carpet shark , third a spikey dog, then nothing baits untouched , it would have seemed the fish have abandoned the place. So with medium wet rain turning into cold shitty rain we did the same and ran for home, but the fishing gods weren’t done taking the piss, as we got closer to home the we started hearing strange tic tac blink noises as the cold shitty rain turned into hard hurty rain .

    Come fishing he said, it will be fun he said...and as I wandered in the door the final blow to my self esteem was dealt, my darling meets me at the door takes onE look at me and remarks “ well who’s a f##king idiot! “

    Cheers VC always and adventure, glad boat ran well and alterations certainly have improved things

    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
