Imagine the Randrups dilemma who need to sort out a 492kg Blue :O_O:
Hey Gibo, do they add any spice/flavour to the smoked marlin in NZ?
The stuff I’ve eaten in Mauritius had none. It was ok, but after a bit you soon had had enough of it. Might be just my tastebuds as biltong I can eat all day and nigh.
Over the hill again today with @ROKTOY and boys for another snapper slaying session.
Weather fantastic......actually too good I was baking in the sun and praying for breeze.
Boys caught fish....lots of fish.
Chilly bin was too small again:ORLY:
Average size was down a bit on last trip but still plenty there and on the chew.

Cheers Cam for a cracker trip out on the water. You couldn't have asked for a better day, sunny, calm, plenty of fish. Watching the boys hauling in the Snaps was cool. Had to give my boy a hand to wind in the fish he thinks HE caught. Filled the chilly bin very quickly. Finished the day with a nice feed of fresh Gurnard for tea. Grandma came and got her Rig fillets this morning. An Excellent day.Quote:

Small people got scratchy so after a kg of squid and some salted pillies I admitted defeat.. Packed up phoned our ride home... No keepers but nice day out

Last weekends dive turned it on. Started slow at motiti chasing snapper with only small fullas coming in on both kina and fish burley. Wind died off so decided to shoot out wider despite the swell. Was about halfway out to schooner and was inky blue 25m plus vis.
Few deeper 20m-ish drops below the Massive schools of koheru the size of kahawai got us into the Kings. Got tied up pretty good by one king which took a bit of sorting at depth. Very quickly filled the bin then stopped shooting and just enjoyed some absolutely magic scenic diving. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...68c850af8b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6ac2e806ef.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...31abc578b0.jpg

I bags the shallow end.
Did I hear correctly. Fishing from kayaks is ok under level 3?
Yes you can surf , paddle board , and fish out of yaks ...along with mountain biking , swimming , freediving ( but not spearfishing) err was called snorkling , even smoke though we're working up to banning that by 2050 along with rats rabbits cats mice and kea , but get in a motorised boat and go fishing...nope.
Also no lures allowed straight up fresh hand caught baits only, and if your name starts with a,c e ,g h, etc you can fish even days if your name starts with b,d,f,i etc you can fish odd days ....
Hope this clears things up!
Just getting my medals out now, only time I wear them. Must admit old Sea Biscuit has taken the shine of things somewhat.
Just a timing issue covid in a new Zealand summer would be more nuts to control anarchy I would think [emoji869]Quote:

Ha ha gear is already packed and ready for sparrows fart o'clock Tuesday morning, surfcasting over first light then chuck some stickbaits around over the high at 10ish am. This is torture :D
I'm sure it will be cheek to jowl on the local wharf on Tuesday. I will wait for the slowdown before trying the wharf. Might go up the beach a bit though. Are any bait shops open or just try the petrol stations.
Go back to work ya barstard!��Quote:

Up at 3:30 this morning, next to no sleep, way to excited, love it how the promise of a hunt or fishing adventure can still do that!
Swedish torch was alight at 4am. First mission was to try for a snapper on the long rod. Only small kahawai for me, mate got a panny.
