    Fishing was better today. Six decent snapper in under an hour. Hot bite, then it went quiet and couldn't buy another fish.

    I haven't done that specifically, but may give it a go. I like catching trevally and eating them!

    How far north are you @MB? I'm in Mangawhai and just starting to think more seriously about line fishing...

    I've been a spearo for nearly 15 years and have barely touched a rod in that time. My son is nearly 1 and I'm thinking I'll get more time on the water if I promise the wife I'll stay in the boat with him. Would love to be able to duck out for an afternoon fish with the boy and have a reasonable chance at catching tea.

    I'm in Whangarei Heads. It's a difficult balancing act with a young child. When my boy was younger, I got away with it a few times as he would sleep on the boat. Other times, it didn't work out so well!

    Over to the windy garden today. Bit of a ghost town, but it usually is in the winter.



    Had a good old scratch around with the boys, its a fun thing to do with the young fellas they love it



    Considering the huge losses sustained in the double cyclones two summers ago, the stocks are improving. Didn't take us that long to get a feed

    Oh the really fond memories I have of collecting cockles in the Whangamata Harbour with my grandfather, father, uncle, brothers and cousins. And Pipi and Tuatua out in the surf as well. Simpler times by far.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    A little breeze and chop to start,water green and murky and no bites for the first 20-30 min I was starting to think it may be a dud trip but then the burly started working and we were very busy catching gurnard and Terakihi and a couple of unlucky legal blue cod.

    A couple of hours fishing and we had plenty so went sight seeing and came in on the high.
