Took a days leave encouraged a work mate to do the same ..windty promised a days fishing in gentle winds …gentle they were for the first hour…but the 2 meter swell and then a screaming southerly put the end to any enjoyable fishing,

We hid out of the wind and caught our quota of spikey dogs …that I gently realeased because I’m a really nice guy and they are gods creatures!

So we measured a few cod , we tried 30 meters to 4 meters …everything was 32.5 cm …legal is 33cm it was that bad we were sight fishing

we went with lures baited with squid and were yanking the bait / lure away from the shorts and trying to hook the big bastards …they would chase a lure and grab the tag end of the bait and try to tear it off.

That said, this is why I’m a spearo …bugger hoping the fish are on the bite , get down amongst them and harvest a feed.

Any who…arrived at the ramp with nothing…MPI officer laughed his arse off at our tale …checked the boat because it was too good to believe!

Laughed even harder …you guys have a hard day.

Washed the boat , put it away ..up stairs, fire on nursing our egos , tieing rigs , hating the spikey dogs

Looking at the view ..wind cloud …it not getting any better..

Time for a walk up the hill with the hound …
