    PNL may have a hand in the financial side of it, if you get my drift

    In years to come the old soldier will be found by some grey haired old gent while dredging for seaweed and despite the rust and the barnacles it will be lovingly restored and presented to the national museum to exhibit as a reminder of the days when the men and women of New Zealand were free to fish wherever and whenever they wanted. The great grandchildren of current day greenies eating their soy fibre toast at the breakfast table will question why Kiwi blokes and blokesses were ever prohibited from harvesting such an abundant and valuable resource.

    Sorry Joe, I got a bit carried away musing on a possible parallel world.

    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

    I sent him out with a crew that I thought would have his back ..alas I was wrong he was cast into the current to be lost alone ....

    @veitnamcam do you have anything to share with the group??
    Old Celtic tradition to offer goods to the water. Pretty sure everyone's done it, and you two certainly have a bit of Celtic in you.

    Still make a bit of sushi out of that man, ��. Bronzes do love an easy king. Weird thinh though is its quite common to see big kingis Nd trevs cruising with big bronzies on the reef, happy as Larry. As soon as you pop the fish Bronzy turns round and goes mental on it.

    Further towards magazine point is better. I have caught a few there in the past but always on evening tides
    Fishing anywhere is better than not fishing at all!!

    Good on you for getting out into it at least.
    I like the look of the beachy bit and casting out into the gap might chance on something passing by.
    Got boat back from getting the new sounder fitted yesterday so time to plan a trip. 2 more days of work then a month off
