    Well a overnighter up the island was the call with the weather looking perfect.
    Saw the MAF boys at the Nelson boat ramp before leaving and also the following night on returning. It's funny how every time I see them they all have a different interpretation of the law.......These boys had common sense and bloody good to deal with.
    Any way flat arse calm, cod paua crayfish snapper and tarakihi mussels and one gurnad. Nothing overly big on the fish front but I would have the small snaps anyday over the big one we get on the set line. Oh also one deer.

    Boat went well.......at one stage we 9 guys a 4 wheeler and all the gear.

    I like to target banks or where bottom type switches from mud to sand. So rather than sitting in the middle of a big bay Ill fish the edge of a bay where it just starts to shallow up they seem to like these areas.
    Baits as above salted mackerel or bonito or trevally.
    Rigs they are bottom feeders but will come up a bit to take say the top hook on a flasher rig.

    I use small jigs now for Gurnard (like the Shimano bottom ship style) on the very rare occasion I go fishing now or just last trip tiny 30gm orange micro jigs on 5lb braid proved very good.

    On long line I use salted mackeral or salted plchards for bait and you seem to get a better hit rate for gurnard. Maybe that on a ledger rig bottom hook for snapper.

    Harvester crews are getting a few snapper in the inner sounds now so nearly on your door step

    I had Tim on Pelorus Image pull up out front 2 days ago to take possession of his 4th pair of Talan Boots :-)
    Some big Snapper too - been caught
    I fallen for these Gurnard though - beautiful fish
    Got some out near Maude Island then my capstan burnt out and no other anchor option - just hoped to get it set up right for close in results

    Had the harbour master come alongside us today while we were fishing.

    He had a couple of guys from maritime NZ on board. They wanted to check our life jackets, and that we had two forms of communication.

    Told us it was part of 'boat safety' week.
    Good to see really

    Even gave us a free cell phone dry bag...


    @Sarvo +1 for mikee's salted mac however travelly also seems to be a favourite bait of the gurnard. They are not that keen on squid !!

    Yes - I had heard they not keen on Squid

    What is the Law or Reg (I cannot see how there can be a Law without boat licences) regarding life jackets on your own boat.
    I was told by neighbor - under 6m length - compulsory to wear and over voluntarily ??
