I woke up a little late this morning and needed something to do as the boy was on a course and the wife was heading out somewhere too.
The weather was almost dead calm and the forecast looked as good, so away we go.
I got out into the bay on the incoming tide and parked up at 10 metres, dropped anchor and burley, loaded some hooks and dropped lines. Quickly pulled a few undersized pannies and a small Kahawai before the Bait runner took off on me.
A nice 55cm Snapper onboard and time for a coffee and a biscuit.
It went quiet for 15minutes before we got any more movement. One more decent snapper and two more small Kahawai, ideal smoker size.
Five fish in the bin, a few small ones released. No sharks, no tangles, and I only had to retrieve my cap out of the drink once.
Back on land by 2pm and wings and fillets in the smoker by 4pm for an early dinner.
A nice peaceful few hours on the water.
