Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

That’s cheating your fishing today

Had planned to take the ray out from Nelson this morning but with he had a serious case of man flu so I took up my uncles offer instead and joined him and my Dad and my Son in golden bay.
Beach launch didnt quite go to plan and I got wet feet and wet balls but alls well that ends well..
Bit of a swell but bugger all wind.
Fishing was very very good,so much so we were done by 9am and waiting for the tide to drop a bit for retrieval..... luckily we had some beers 😁

Solid fish! Nothing like a young bloke hooked into a good snap!

Felt like a bag of bones today, sat in the sun and tried to get my life in order!! Need to go fishng

I know where some are ��

They catch fishermen

It was too good not to go out again this morning despite yesterdays slaughter.
Flat calm no wind and nice and overcast we caught 9 in just over an hour and came back in to clean up.
Beautiful one day perfect the next.



No longlines and no bycatch was an awesome weekend of fishing.

So here you go Stingray. Fashion yourself a home made Hawaiian Sling, go snorkeling in a favourite spot and catch a fishy.

Mum wanted to go fishing today, its her 69th birthday and Dad was committed to the second stage of a 4man golf comp so the responsibility fell to me.

Pretty average conditions with the north easter this morning so the snapper were off the bite as is often the case with the easterly.

There was no chance of the young fella going to daycare while fishing was happening so he came along and proved to be the days champ hooking two kingfish.

This was the first 74cm...so a quick hug and back over the side.



Its a bloody big fish for a nearly 4 year old to let go i tell ya. It was followed quickly with one of the same length caught buy mum.

During the fight i cut my line as it became tangled in it and we wernt sure of the size at that point. So while re-tying my line i hear a "ziiiiiiing...dad help" and turn to see the young fellas little green rod bent double in the rod holder.

It was a slow patient fight. Ten or so minutes and mostly handled by me but there was no chance this one was getting let go.



All were caught on baited flasher rigs.

Who says you need a flash rod for kingfish....



Mum reckons she will never forget it

Now time for some hunting
