    Good to see you out there doing it Beaker, you have been looking forward to this time away. Now some Rushy wisdom for you mate. On the plus side, the fish are already wet and your bloody skin is waterproof. On the negative side, the Raglan bar can be a bastard and it could be a bit rough out there and after two years you may have diminished sea leg abilities and could well lose your lunch overboard. There is one consolation though if you pull the pin due to foul weather ……….. RUM and bullshit sessions with good mates.

    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

    No boats for this one, just beach and rocks. Not worried about the rain, for all those reasons, just a bit concerned on the wind and waves......

    Rum already packed!

    Rum, rocks and swell is not a wise collection

    Beaker is well used to rum and rocks (reference to drinking preference) and he trains for coping with swell every Thursday night (reference to scantily clad young lasses in his favourite watering hole. But you are right mate, Beaker weighs less than one of your stick baits so he should harness himself to terra firmer and leave the bottle at home base until after the evening shower

    I hear you on that!
    Didn't even get on the rocks and the rum was for afterwards.
    Photos don't do it justice, horrible fishing conditions, so didnt do much and no fish were harmed......
    Bloody great weekend away though. Great location and digs, good mates, and a heap of bloody good food was had (1 of guys is a chef...) , heaps of banter, and now I'm stuffed.......

    Out today with Dad and the Son.
    Great conditions but fishing hard.
    It was either sharks or juvinile snapper and cod or nothing.
    I have never caught so many baby snapper...20-28cm snapper.....they seem to have taken over the spots we used to catch Terakihi years ago.
    I sopos thats good?
    15y ago you would never catch undersize snapper.

    Managed a feed of gurnard and cod but hard work.
