I got a paltry 3 flounder this morning in the net, was giving the cruiser its by annual clean and a guy walking his dog asked me how fishing was...had talked to him before but only just worked out he was one of my neighbors sort of so gave him the flounder.
Then picking up the boy from a birthday party this afternoon was asked how fishing was this morning:wtfsmilie: seems the whole street is keeping an eye on me !
I still have that drag net waiting to be used Mikee.....
Tho I think if I look back threw my fishing diary we could probably nail it next year ;) :ORLY:
Righto :thumbsup::cool:
I would try and talk you into now but there isnt much around.....but things could change ;)
40 years ago we used to drag the net down Lake Reserve, out of Featherstone towards Lake Ferry. Fresh water lake buggered by the Rumahanga? River diversion, 30-35 flounders a drag, two guys on each pole and one behind to free any snags. Big fire on the beach, few beers and a feed. We used to get around 70 then enjoy the night. :cool: used to get the odd trout and perch, could always hear the perch in the net when your ear was against the pole.
70! No wonder there is fuck all now![emoji2]
I'm picking they were fresh water? Can they live in both? At least I was there for a bit of the raping another advantage of being older! We could hardly drag the net! Nice Manuka poles for strength.
hey iv seen flounders above the Hurunui river bridge thought I was seening things first time I saw 1....its miles from the coast!
