Fishing was better today. Six decent snapper in under an hour. Hot bite, then it went quiet and couldn't buy another fish.

How far north are you @MB? I'm in Mangawhai and just starting to think more seriously about line fishing...
I've been a spearo for nearly 15 years and have barely touched a rod in that time. My son is nearly 1 and I'm thinking I'll get more time on the water if I promise the wife I'll stay in the boat with him. Would love to be able to duck out for an afternoon fish with the boy and have a reasonable chance at catching tea.
I'm in Whangarei Heads. It's a difficult balancing act with a young child. When my boy was younger, I got away with it a few times as he would sleep on the boat. Other times, it didn't work out so well!
Over to the windy garden today. Bit of a ghost town, but it usually is in the winter.

Considering the huge losses sustained in the double cyclones two summers ago, the stocks are improving. Didn't take us that long to get a feed [emoji41]

Oh the really fond memories I have of collecting cockles in the Whangamata Harbour with my grandfather, father, uncle, brothers and cousins. And Pipi and Tuatua out in the surf as well. Simpler times by far.
Well I wanted to get out yesterday but I was broken....like couldn't even lift a beer to my mouth broken...it was shit!!
On the mend today and got the "High Grader" 6.5" mesh net out this arvo with some help from the boy.

A little breeze and chop to start,water green and murky and no bites for the first 20-30 min I was starting to think it may be a dud trip but then the burly started working and we were very busy catching gurnard and Terakihi and a couple of unlucky legal blue cod.
A couple of hours fishing and we had plenty so went sight seeing and came in on the high.

Solid haul of gurnard acquired we gave 4 to some guy surfcasting with his young kids, four to a neighbour,3 to another which only left me with 12 or so to fillet
