I'm waiting on some pics to come through, will post them when received. @7mmwsm congratulations on the marlin, it's on my bucket list...
Had a blinder of a Tauranga 1 Base. We ended up with 3rd for Mahimahi, 2 tagged Stripeys, 1 dropped Stripery and we dropped a good Blue at the boat. Such a good trip, had one of the stripeys up at the back of the boat chomping on the teaser, pulled that in when it let go and it dropped straight back onto the lure behind it, text book stuff.
Some cool footage in hand so will whip up an edit over the next few days
Good shit @Gibo !![emoji106]
+1 for the "looking forward to the video"
Earthquakes didn't put the fish down then ?

Put this fella back.
Fishing today – went off the Mount with a Mate in his 7.5m extreme – no wind – but a 1.5m easterly swell from recent weather
Target was Bluenose and Groper – 50km out – took an hour and a half to get there – but stopped for a few minutes on Pudney to get a Cuda for bait
We could see a heap of sign on the sounder – 380m down – but they were not interested – my Mate got a few big Bluenose and a Groper there a week or so back so he knows where to go
Another Mate turned up in a larger steel boat and stayed with us on the same ground – but they didn’t catch anything either
So after a couple of hours we gave up and went back about 15km to another site to try for Terakihi – plenty of fish there but also plenty of Cudas – the bastards smashed our gear and fish off continually – I fed the fish about 1.30 - so after about 13 Teras in the bin – we came home to watch the yachting
1.5m swell does not agree with me – but a great day out – and seven Teras for the fridge

@time out
I'd be giving that two likes if I could.
Great to see you in the fishing thread.
Looks like a cool day out and a pretty sweet bin despite the cudas [emoji106]
Smoke a few frames. Could be good for your cats [emoji6]

Nice boat. Shame the Bluenose weren't biting
Good size terrys.
Bluenose,white wharahou,gemfish.
The best deepwater eating fish in order.
Best you go again and get some @time out
Had an afternoon in the tga Harbour last week where we couldn't keep a strayline bait in the water for longer The a few minutes without it being smashed by a kingi, wouldn't touch the livies we had out.Quote:

Upgraded the wee frewza to a slightly bigger wee surtees, just before knee surgery so been a painful wait to get back out for a dive. Managed to get in the drink over the weekend for an awesome wee dive taking one each of king, trev, snap, dory, kahawai, koheru. Bloody good to be mobile againhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5262a14576.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d3a67d0dbf.jpg

Wicked, more boat picks please. What size you get and what donk and options cost etc.Quote:

Do you get Barcrushers in NZ ? Be curious if so how you see the Surtees vs Barcrusher. Very similar boats though.
Ive never seen one here, Surtees are popular as though. Especially here in the bay, built just down the roadQuote:

Surtees are getting a following here also. Looking for a good used 5.5 presently. Used boat & 4wd market is Co-vid crazy
Just a 485 man, so not really a true 5m. More a 4.7 plus duck board. Beamy though so still plant of space for bottom bouncing and spearing. Not as good for softbaiting etc as the rocket launcher gets in the way. Was literally the biggest boat I can fit in my driveway haha.Quote:

Big wait times at the moment for new so purchased second hand instead.
Pretty impressed so far, handles a chop really well, rides very softly for its size, super economical and pretty stable (the frewza had it beat on stability but the surtees rides way nicer.)
If I had the space the 540 hardtop would be a damn hard boat to beat under the 5.5m mark.
Extremes are mint but you are paying a bunch of money for paint and finish which for my uses doesn't help much,
Senator and stabis both good boats, almost bought the 1450 Pro fisher the surtees rode way nicer though and the shelter of the cuddy won out over lure fish ability. Modern stabis are cleverly thought out boats, but bloody dare
Yeah same here bro, sold my wee frewza in 30 minsQuote:

Im not a fan of colour painted hulls but to have the entire hull and topsides with no protection at all like senator makes no sense, 5 years down the track ya 50k boat looks 30years old with the oxidation so have to factor in a wrap or nyalic on top of cost.
Wrap all the way. Nylac looks good but it's pretty finicky. Doesn't like petrol or sunblock etc. Mines nylac'd and its starting to come away. Will. Probably wrap it upQuote:

Spoiled for choice here in nz. Only problem at the moment is the bloody waiting lists

Yea logically I should sell mine now while its worth something and buy another in a couple of years when the market settels down but...Quote:

Heaps more fishing room. Took it out on the weekend to the Coromandel mussel farms.caught a few but nothing to write home about. Might go for another fish on Saturday then it'll be all about the hunting.
