Trolling lures?
Yeah, full on blue water trolling. We were actually targeting them, albeit in a small trailer boat that isn't really setup for game fishing. Mate and I agreed that we'd rather catch a yellowfin than a marlin, so we pulled some small lures about and got lucky. Fight was insane. We had a double hook-up and chaos ensued. As two novice game anglers, I think we did well to land both fish with no major dramas.
Well done MB!!
Thanks to the good guy @Got-ya, we got the target species and some small by catch

Great result Beaker :) was the other anchor stuck on a rock or just lost overboard by someone and sticking into the sand
It was wrapped around a rock as well.
Not sure how long to boil those for but it will be longer than 7min.
Good result. On ya Got Ya :)
6 months in the slow cooker might be the go
Looks like every one has been out having some fun......I done a westcoast trip on the boat, not many photos but had a hell of a time, crays, groper, trumpeter and one gem fish. Weather was as flat ass as it comes out there. Attachment 157404Attachment 157405

Mate of mine was filling in as a deckie on a charter boat when someone caught a large Thresher. He made the mistake of trying to hold on to it's tail when they were securing it and it flicked him straight out of the boat into the sea. He was not a flash swimmer but said he didn't need to be as he ran back to the boat:D:D
Lots of punters fishing out of Nelson today. Its a pity none of them actually know anything about what the speed restrictions are and where and when they apply. If the harbourmaster had a speed gun and a camera on the end of the layup berths and another chap with a ticket book at the ramp he would have run out of tickets.
Working up a mast in a 5knot zone while all and sundry burn past at warp factor nine is not much fun!!
@mikee there are morons everywhere. Honestly you should have seen some of the driving I've seen today. Its unbelievable the lack of knowledge and most importantly courtesy some people have !!

I think its not lack or courtesy - just have no common sense
Example - fishing 80-90m off the shore in 10 - 15m of dept on anchor
Have 2000m on other side of me to other shore in Sound
The clowns go hooning past between shore and me - waving out like they are your best froiends
What do you do - just shrug
But that speeding through the Marina does piss me off especially if at fuel depot
Its amazing what wake a 6m pontoon boat at 6kts with 4 pax etc will push up
Well I never thought I would say this but..........................fine everyone speeding in their boat in 5knot areas................and big fines.
And safety equipment inspections at ramps and on the water, no financial penalty but simply if you don't have it you aint going boating today or you get escorted home.
Had 3 of them hooning around just inside the bar at Foxton on Friday. One was towing a seabiscuit with some kids on. Outside the 5 Knot zone but if anyone knows the area 3 hours down from high, there is not much room. they would have been doing over 20 knots easy. I just kept on and assumed they would get out of the way since they were tracking all over the place. Actually saw a boat nearly hit the bar since he followed a jetski in around over the bar. lucky he seemed to realise just before he grounded and went out and about 400m down the coast to the channel

Any off you nelson boys want to come out with me on Saturday????? @veitnamcam @stingray and you others? Probably room for six.
No plan at this stage.....But no point the boat just sitting there growing weed, probably last time I get to use it until late feb. I'm thinking the Island and you can show me some of you king fishing tips? Not to worried either way even just a fish in the bay if it suits people better. Not concerned who comes as long as they are GC's. If none of the big boys want to come out we could always take kids and big boys.
Either way, a nice wee mission for shits and giggles, Rocktoy, shearer, pengy, etc or kids and setline the bay and do some of the able Tasman?
Last of the good weather ..ma wanted to go snappering ..3 hours fishing one epic hour catching
Ma very happy ..
