Good morning out in Tasman Bay too,
Attachment 67665
plenty of fish still about
Loved by the young and the old :)
Nice one guys:thumbsup: Rambo rem700 Dad used to take me fishing off the warf in Wanganui when I was a kid, loved it when those schools of Genard came up the river:thumbsup: used to get hit by the odd big barracuda as well:pissed off: Dad would sort em out with a wire trace and then use em as Snapper bait when he would fish off the mole. Wasn't aloud to go with him though.
If we had a few frosts and then a fog we would ride the beach earlier morning to pick up the frost fish.
Got one so big that it went through the spooks of my push bike and I went over the handlebars :XD: it was a lot easier to handle after that being cut down.

Fantastic day out with Dad and my kids today, was a bit of swell early that flattened off to almost nothing in the afternoon.
Started out in "big snapper" spot and soon bugged out shallower away from the spikey dogs....it is bad enough getting them off my own line without two kids pulling them in as soon as the bait is in the water too!
Burlyed up on the edge of a reef for hopefully a snapper, I landed two nice pannies but gear got punished by the snakes.
My girl landed a whopper on her little kidstix lipstic pink rod.....I had loaded some 30p braid on it last night in anticipation of some beginners luck.

We drew in some cod tho all too small,some big Kahawai,a couple of terikey and 10 or so gurnard when fishing went a bit quieter so we popped off to get some oysters.....not one scollop was caught for the record.
A taste of them secured and into the bay to target carrots and hopefully a few pannies, the kids were into them flat out and Dad and myself were relegated to hook baiters and fish un hookers.

The only slight mark on a otherwise perfect day was that my very expensive/height of fashion warehouse gumboot sprung a leek!

Managed to get out of kapiti on a charter yesterday for the father inlaws 60th.
Was suppose to chase kingis but the sea was to rough.
Ended up with some hot bite times on the snaps , gurnard and trevs.

Can I ask what a charter like that costs @rambo rem700 ?
$200 pp. Free for me tho haha. Im not one to like paying for shit. But the fishing was so good. Put alot back and learned a few tips to help my own fishing.. from 7am to 330pm. However we had full bins by 12pm we decided to head back and he filleted them all for us.

Ikkys look a bit high
I wasn't passing judgement just felt it high in my opinion. The brain is pretty small and is at about a 15 - 30 degree angle back and above the eye.
This is the best pic I could find online. I believe the best way to know you have hit to brain is when the tail curls around to try touch the fish's side. All my opinion of course and I do my best to kill them quickly. You will never catch me taking photos of fish I intend to release with my hands up in their gills and shit :D

Nice wide blade not a pointy filleting knife increases your chances
Yea thats exactly where he showed me. Just above the hard plate and angel in towards the eye

Phone call from folks...finally took some advice and went deep for the snapper ..I would have said they were two late myself but mum on Mother's Day slayed a good one reports are of a 8 pounder which would be the best she has ever caught along with grey boys spikies and large cod !!
A glorious weekend of weather !!
My take on Gurnard filletingAttachment 68682first catch your fishAttachment 68683cut under dorsal,down to backbone behind the headAttachment 68685hold head and tail,bend and push hands together.Attachment 68686grab protruding bit and pull the skin offAttachment 68687fillet.
Frames and pinholes go in stock,fish soup for lunch tomorrow:thumbsup:
