    Yeah I do quite a bit of kingy that way, Tongan curry styles.

    This one is going into the smoker, but most of the kahawai I eat gets dry aged for a week then eaten raw

    The bar is not a problem if calm just hug the island side, the shallow stretch of no real channel I have marked is what stops us small boats being able to get in and out and the bottom there is like riverstones....bad for props...if can get past that your in then there is a finger of reef that sticks out across the channel...It's about 1m at low water at its deepest.
    A reconnaissance mission in a dingy would be a good idea.
    In my wee boat I need 2ft of water minimum to putt with the motor up. Spring tides I work on I need to be no later than 1.5 hours before Nelson low tide or 2 hours after to be able to get in out or in.
    Neap tides can usually just sneak in on low but still like to have the incoming to come in.

    Can't seem to upload screenshot.

    1.2 m draft should be okay on a good tide... but should probably check it out with the canoe first.

    Yes check out first definitely a good idea.
    Had to Google gunk hole
    Depending on the size of your vessel and plans I would be thinking sit on the second shallow bit high and dry at low or pass the reef and ankor up then sit high and dry on the side of a channel for the day/night.

    That "hole" you speak of is only a meter deep at the moment and two dingies wide at low tide so if you ankor there you'd get some e irate fisherermen and women at dark o'clock

    Years ago me and bro jumped on a charter out of Noosa. Told bring warm clothes and rain jacket - everything else provided. Leave wharf at 4am, hooning out powered by twin 200's by day break you couldnt see land in any direction. 5 hours dropping baits and shifting and not a single bite....skipper calls a lunch break and brings out a massive platter of food - everyone chilling having a feed when this dude pulls out a banana from his day pack....holy crap, the skipper completely lost his shit! Went full on psyco at this guy and blamed him for anything and everything...the whole mood on the boat changed and we couldnt wait to get off. Skipper ruined what was still an enjoyable day even tho we werent catching anything.

    I think it might have been Matt Watson who made a lure out of a piece of banana skin and caught a fish with it. Ya can't beat the old superstitions aye

    I was on a similar charter out from the Whitsundays... should have seen the looks I got when in jest, I asked if anyone wants the other half of my banana sandwich....

    Out with mum and dad this morning. Good to give dads boat a run as its been sitting idle most of the winter.



    Pretty quite on the rods. One gurnard and a couple of red cod (ugly bloody things). Thankfully no spiky dogs !!

    Picked up the longline for a couple of small snaps. Nothing too exciting but always good to bin the first ones for the season.



    It should just get better and better from now on

    Cool surprise in the mail. Milan from The Lateral Line (ex Big Angry Fish) caught a fish I had tagged earlier in the year.
