Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Couldnt be arsed with a early start today, almost didnt even go out but thought na I will regret it if I dont and it blows for the next week.

Out of Nelson way after sun up with my Son, Saturday went alright in 10m but I wanted to look deeper....over a meter of left over swell from last nights wind meant a slow punch out at 14 knt to avoid spinal surgery but the wind was good.
On the 20m chart line we dropped a longline then anchored up....Boy= gurnard first drop as usuall....I got a few on the slider/baku type thing but only small then the First mate started feeling a bit poorly
That is not like him at all and he is just starting to get keen so I thought fuck it we will pull the longline and go home rather than have him be sea sick as it was rather Up and Downy.

LL pulled to find one gurnard 20 odd spiky dogs and to my excitement a bloody big octopus wrapped around a spiky dog and it was eating it....I cut the trace and left him or her to it.

We bugged out and surfing our way back the first mate said he felt fine now and it must have been the kilo of cold left over chips he had for breakfast that made him feel crook

So went in close for another go on the outgoing tide. 10m spiky dogs.....6m red cod and spiky dogs.....fark it Im going home.

Ended up with a feed of gurnard for a 28NM trip(worked out how to reset the trip @mikee )
