22lb snapper off the radio mast in 20 meters last night
Picked up both kids from their respective freinds places and took them outside away from their phones for a bit.
Did a few exploratory drags for flounder.
Went pretty well for the first time and none of my nets are designed as drag nets.
The girl was even surprisingly uselfull being a bit taller than the boy.

It was quite weedy which was a bit of a pain and we got 5 rays but as they are not in the net long they are easy to get out.
One side affect of dragging rather than setting I noticed is that when dragging onto shore lots and lots like 50 or more tiny flounder from about as long as a matchbox to about 100mm long get pulled from the shallows with all the weed...most of em get straight back in as of course they are too small to get meshed but just something I never saw when set netting.
Big fat flounders, less weed and rays would be nice.

One of the best eating fish IMO.:thumbsup:
Sounds like @ROKTOY is coming then:D
Being told about all these kingfish off the boulder bank.......bloody bull shit!!!!! luckily there are still some nice snaps out there.
PS: I didn't even see one of these sharks they keep talking about....False news everywhere these days.
Kings are at spat farms ...well so im told , your the second team to blank on the boulder bank ...heaps of bait no Sunday looks mean for a snapper hunt ..Early tides little wind ..I’m still trying to find crays .
Sounds like an ideal landbased stick bait spot... @veitnamcam get some!
Might be a good chance to try a bit of archery

Got Olly in on the act this morning.
:cool:
Perfect weather and tides here in Nelson today.....who's out slaying it?
I see no one is putting their hand up for slaying it today [emoji848]
What i can tell you is that my mate who drives a water taxi dropped a longline at 30m out off Adele today and came up with 6 thumpas [emoji106]
None were weighed but from the photo id say two were definitely over 15pd, one would have been pushing 20. He said it was only down for 40min as he didn't have long.
I am going to try get out mon if the weather holds, got a few sheep to cut up tomorrow.
Now you will have to excuse me for the next bit. I know its off topic and the source is crap, and its twig & tweet but when i saw it today I immediately thought of you [emoji41]
Apparantly cat shit is doing more damage than our flounder nets [emoji23] [emoji106]

Me and a mate went out of Delaware this morning before sun up out to 38 meters and got a 15 pounder and a hand full of carrots have been having quiet abit of success at this depth all this week just on daybreak
Decided I wanted fresh fish for dinner so loaded up the kontiki last night for an early start this morning. Did one set over change of light and got this lot.

More than enough so job done and home by 9.00am. Large one was 13lb.
Nice one Got Ya. Love your coloured fish arrangement too :)
Okiwi, out to 40 meters, gurnard only , flood ran out before snaps came on the chew, motor worries so called a day rather than fish out going.
Biggest carrot I’ve ever seen went 51 cm, mate went to pass fished it midday blazing sun, kingi on the chew, boated 6 kept one, no sign of any sharks.
Motor sorted thankfully , for getting home and being a simple fix.
Out from stevens bay this morning to 35m behind adele island. Got a bit distracted when we saw the pod of orca (photos in the here and now thread)
Beautiful blue water, 18.5deg so towed around 5 tuna lures for a while even though we think it is still a bit early.

Released a couple of undersized kingies, but no tuna. Pretty sure it won't be long before someone hits some.
Did a bit of drift fishing for one snap and a couple of nice sized cod. Scooped up the long line for 6 more snaps.

All in all a awesome day on the water making memories [emoji106]

16-17 degrees off Hoki and I got tubes. Must be different behaviour in the bay compared to off here?
