    That is completely unacceptable behaviour GA. Time to trade her in.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    My eldest son got a 25lb snapper and the kingfish was 77cm 15lb caught on an 8inch spanner with a hook tied behind. Go the red necks!

    Well I've been hearing a lot of stories about tuna lately. Apparently the bay is 'teaming' with them.

    So off we went early this morning right out to the middle with high hopes.....

    Towed 5 of these around for 5 hours...



    Not a single bite from a tuna. Turns out the bay is teaming with them about as much as it has been teaming with rain lately!!

    Did manage a decent kingfish and a few kahawai though so all was not lost.



    Dad was chuffed actually as it gave him a bloody decent scrap

    We had a few unwanted visitors at the filleting table today a sure sign they are in their protein phase.



    Off to the freezer for some vespex left over from last year

    The only tuna I’ve been in to have been Skippies, no Albies or YF as of yet, in the BOP.

    Have been in Keneperu for the last couple days. Windy.
    Staying with Sneeze and his wife and trying to catch a few fish.
    2 small snaps and a Gurnard so far that we ate last night.
    Today we got schooled badly. Broken lines on mussel farms. Rays and have gone thru a few bags of pillys.
    Landed a huge Eagle Ray on dark.
    Seen a nice kingi follow in a small Ray I hooked today but didn't have anything ready to throw his way.
    Love it up here and only thing that would make it better is some better luck with the rods.
