Cant like that.

The boy has been asking to go fishing off the "wharf" (fishing platform by fiveshire rock) buggered if I know why all he has ever caught there is an octopus but we will go have a go when he gets home from school.

Secret if fishing there is use f big baits. Too many use such small baits around there and get nothing. Use big baits and you hook something that pull string. Might be a ray, but have caught conger eels, three different types of rays there, snapper, big kahawai , been spooled on 10kg twice where run hasnt look like stopping.

I had the biggest squid head and tentacles you ever seen as a bait......it was constantlly getting bites I ingnored hoping something bigger would come and snaffle it...15m later entire bait gone, cast out about half a big salted mackerel fillet and gone in 5 min.

I would but im in Havelock today

Lets see how long that lure lasts.

Looks like he has good technique.

One spotty. The boy got tired of the lure and went to bait. I lost a lure but also caught someone else's snagged rigand gained a clip on sinker.
@stingray turned up for a yarn and some other keen as kids. One got snagged and broken off a few times,naturally the fish had a mask snorkle and suit in his wagon and he offered it to the kid who swam out to unsnag his line.
He got it off and scored my lure I had lost 20min before!
Good keen kids.

Might as well keep all you catch as they could be the last you ever get with that mad bitch in control of "conservation"

no fear of that as we "pot fishers" ...this current looney tune will play out long before she has whiped out anything.....other than maybe kea or kaka.

Finally Dad took mercy on me and took me out,forgot his chillybin an bait and burly.
Fortunately I had plenty of all of those.
Bit of a steam from Nelson threw one of those barstard little swell/chop combos.
Old bloke dropped the long line out fairly deep.
Burleyed up large in good current and caught nothing for a while then a shark each...pulled up longline for 1 shark and no baits at all so went shallow to spotx.
Dad drops a line in and I sort the burly then as I am baiting up I see his rod getting bites"oi ya rods getting bites" I say as he was pissing about doing something else and he grabs the rod.
It didn't do much for a start and we both thought a ray or a big rig as the weight was obvious......then it started going sideways a bit and we thought oh no its a snake.
Then it decided to piss off rapidly with big nods and peeling line! Each time he got him about halfway up he would go on another big run.....I got the net.


Bloody nice fish to start the season @ 19.5-20p scales were bouncing a bit.

A good feed or 2 of gurnard and one Terry later we pulled the pin as the tide died off.

Bloody good fish there VC. I had a good day too. Back out tomorrow, I've been given a fish order. Always guaranteed to kill a day!
