Still catching very well thanks.



Happy Neighbors today

Oh I love flounder, it just so happens that I’m down your way in July

Definitely when it is cold and fresh like this(fresh water on top of salt water) I do better with a net set way down a channel in quite deep (one or two meters) water where as a few weeks ago I would set as far up a channel as i could possibly get and most of my net on land to stay within the nets/channels rules.

Thats the end of the really good catches now but it will improve again if we get a spell of no rain/snow.

At least the dog stayed where she was meant to be this time

We'll it was fishing today, not tomorrow.....
Was a wee bit chilli to.....

And even talked work as well.

Got out from Wanganui today. Lots of little snapper and a few other bits and pieces. The guys with bigger boats did well out wider by all accounts.

Talking work is a punishable offence!

literally every bastard i can think of has been out in this mid week high except me!!!
Im almost glad it is going to be shit this weekend tho the wife is working as always and I have a trailer to build so I have a boat for snapper season.
Boat ownership ay

Unbelievably I think I might have been the only one to put a net out this morning.....maybe being as dark as the inside of a black cow on a dark night at low tide put everyone else off.

It was quite cool and calm come time to pick it up a few hours later.





Got a couple of feeds worth.

Two things about boats.
A mate of mine on OZ reckoned a boat brought you happiness two times-once when you buy it and second is when you sell it.
Boat also stands for "Bring Out Another Thousand".
keep catching those flounder....

Yep it's a well known fact that boat = "Bring Out Another Thousand".....tho these days even that would struggle to cover it.

Friday got to put out the net at smoko time and pick up after work......frosts and flounder don't go well together.

Took Dad out this morning....neither of us could be arsed getting up early so it was 8 am at mine fishing by 9.
Tides were shit for what we were doing(shoulda been up at 4am but couldnt be arsed) but we went to target gurnard.
So mostly slack water fishing

Anyway we still did alright with dad's side of the boat getting the lions share....about time he made himself usefull lol.

Some big fat kahawai for the ol Moari lady next door.....last time I talked to her she asked for me to not gut them please....this was a surprise to me as I usually just send the kids around the neighborhood with fish.



Apparently if you turn the gut inside out and give it a rinse and deepfri or boil it it is just like squid....have not tried it myself yet.

Couple of feeds of gurnad for dad and myself....drifting with a small soft bait was reasonably successful.
