No fish harmed - apart from frozen bait.
And it was brilliant :)
Good shit guys.
Snuck a wee shore dive in this morning. Bit green but flat as a pancake. Bloody good to get back in the water. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d836e5b4fa.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b404901fa6.jpg

Mmmmmmmmm. Dory.
I went surf casting today. It was more of a family trip to the beach with a fishing rod, plus I'm a terrible surf caster. I caught a small kahawai. The poor fish managed to iki itself with a 4/0 hook. Dead as a door nail! My boy was pretty excited and wanted to bring it home for dinner. He has also requested that I smoke it. Don't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so now firing up the smoker for a half pound kahawai and a few scavenged mussels!

The things we do for our kids. Good on ya mate.
Rung my boss, fucker said sorry mate your flat out Friday ...he reckoned he heard my bottom lip hit the floor...laughed his arse off ..
"you will be flat out fishing somewhere".
Damn near had a heart attack. Barstard!
Looks like I'm going for a fish! Still think it was a rotten bloody trick all the same! :thumbsup:
Here is something you could try with the young fella. Take a small portable BBQ with you to the beach, a hand full of newspaper, some butter, a few slices of lemon and some fresh bread. If you catch a small Kahawai, gut it, split like you do for smoking, rub butter on the flesh, then wrap in a sheet of newspaper. dunk it in the tide to wet the paper and wrap it again and dunk it. do the same about 3-4 more times until you have 6-8 layers of wet paper. Lay it on the grill, and cook it. The outside layers will slowly dry out and burn but after 20-30 mins the steam will have cooked the fish. As you unwrap it you will find the innermost layers are not charred.
Stick the cooked fish on a slice of bread, squeeze lemon on it and feast away....
Back when I was a young fella too many moons ago I had an uncle do that on my very first beach fishing trip, except he cooked it over an open fire of driftwood. I can still recall that day in detail. He is 96 now and he still remembers it......
On a different note regarding fishing. I work on a charter boat specializing in taking fisho's over the Kaipara Bar. We have a charter booked for sat with 10 guys. According to level 2 lockdown rules and our Dictator in charge, charters are permitted..........however the 2 hr max time period also applies to charter boats. How the hell are you supposed to operate a charter with a 2 hr limit? Even cruising out at 25knots means we will have to turn around before we even get the anchor down..
I shudder to think how many charter operators are going to go under if they cant get back in business. Its hard enough to operate with all the maritime compliance costs as it is.......
I'll book the first 2 hours, VC can book the second charter of the day for two hours ,Pengy can book the third charter of the day for two hours , and someone else can book the last two hours. Now seeing as we are all here on my charter ...you may as well have a fish , then when VC's charter starts seeing as he's a top bloke we can all have a fish..etc etc ..work within the stupidity with similar stupidity...to achieve success!
Obviously we were all back working and couldn't get out for a fish?
Fuck I thought I was going to get out today but then work went to custard....not that I am complaining I need work.
Sorry we got out.... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...38246ca4a9.jpg

Had a beer with my work boss tonight. We are having a serious strategy meeting tomorrow. He put me in charge of sorting the meeting room and time frames. So I've set the start time at a relaxed 0700hrs start and a potential finish at 1500hrs depending on progress of meeting. And I booked the external meeting of 'sain zabi'

And there was a "few" boats out.....
And include boat ramp..... Interesting, folk....
Did OK fishing for the morning to.
Oh and having not used the boat in 7 weeks. Don't under estimate the loss of fishing/boating conditioning.....
Out for a fish sat arvo with a mate, conditions were far from ideal but it was great just to get out.
We got a few nice snapper, they seem to have put condition back on after the spawn and are in good nick.

My neighbour says he has never in his 80 years ever seen so many bloody Spiky Dogs
Double hook ups - 5 chasing the hooked ones to the surface - just 100's in shallow and deeper
I will test the waters finally tomorrow if not cleaning the boats under hull
Look at mate in Thames today - all over 40cm

After clean up I headed off down the bay to call catch up with the cod masters @stingray and family.
Awesome weather and company, a deer and a pig already hanging in the woodshed when I arrived in the evening crays in the kitchen, beers yarns and bed.
Leisurely start in the morning, I may or may not have woken everyone up after my morning walk and we were off in the big boat with the cod masters.

Cods and crays acquired we had a lovely cruise back to the carrot patch while giving the aux a run and having some tea and biscuits.
Someone must have picked the patch already tho as we were inundated with more cod and spiky dogs we pulled the pin and headed home for clean up.
Awesome as always thanks for the invite Joe.

Snuck out with the flat fish expert this evening, took the flounder dog and all, enjoyed a lazy beer and some relaxed happy company and watched the sun set , the birds fished and we did bugger all as the tide made, not a lot of push so we made do with a good dozen flats. Dog got a run and some pats, and VC and I got fishing time...priceless!
Thanks Cam tastes we buggers they are!

Tide started to push on the green hills at 1230 fishing kicked into gear about 115. Young folk shoot way down got two snaps , 4 terries, and massive cod! Long cold day for them no sun and gentle southerly breeze.
