    I am sure there must be a programme to help kick that habit. Ha ha ha ha

    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

    Sulphur Point I think it's called. Easy launch with 3 lanes and pontoons from memory.
    Pretty much at the Mount.

    Just watch the Whareroa boat ramp as you come out under the expressway and the height limit is low, ideal for smaller boats but very low traffic so always a spot on those calm days when everyone else is heading out too. Pilot bay can be a bitch to find a park and no jetty's to assist the launch. Both the Sulphur point and Nautilus ramps are well set up with multiple jetty's, my pick is the Nautilus as it can be a bit quieter

    Catch any fish today …No

    This was our yarn with the MPI official at the ramp…2 days of battling wind swells and general shit fish.

    Took a days leave encouraged a work mate to do the same ..windty promised a days fishing in gentle winds …gentle they were for the first hour…but the 2 meter swell and then a screaming southerly put the end to any enjoyable fishing,

    We hid out of the wind and caught our quota of spikey dogs …that I gently realeased because I’m a really nice guy and they are gods creatures!

    So we measured a few cod , we tried 30 meters to 4 meters …everything was 32.5 cm …legal is 33cm it was that bad we were sight fishing

    we went with lures baited with squid and were yanking the bait / lure away from the shorts and trying to hook the big bastards …they would chase a lure and grab the tag end of the bait and try to tear it off.

    That said, this is why I’m a spearo …bugger hoping the fish are on the bite , get down amongst them and harvest a feed.

    Any who…arrived at the ramp with nothing…MPI officer laughed his arse off at our tale …checked the boat because it was too good to believe!

    Laughed even harder …you guys have a hard day.

    Washed the boat , put it away ..up stairs, fire on nursing our egos , tieing rigs , hating the spikey dogs

    Looking at the view ..wind cloud …it not getting any better..

    Time for a walk up the hill with the hound …
