Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

My family were not fishers but I always had an interest in the sea and it's inhabitants. It wasn't until my early 20's that I got the bug and went mad keen. I was living just out of Dunedin at the time and seeing the local Island community waist deep in the surf casting to big schools of Kahawai got my interest up. A bought a reel from a second hand shop and found a 16' piece of bamboo and I was into it. It's funny why and when doors to these things will open and change our lives.

Oi, Oi!!! Oh yeah, um yeah what he said.

Aaron didn't quite make it to the main road before his eyelids fell down.
He had a fantastic day out (as did I), catching as many fish as he did even with Jo feeling the need to throw a couple of good ones back in the briney... Cod galore, A few pannies with a handful of carrots for good measure. Even a couple of sharks to keep it interesting.
Cheers Cam, Jo and family for the hospitality and the great day out on the water. Thanks for the fish, and the company.

big bitey thing on strayline.



Now we are off to do it again.

Not massive fish but string pullers all the same

Great stuff guys.
What sort of bait did you use for your kingi @stingray?��

I suspect you are asking a very leading question to try and lure our mate into a confession
