It looks like the predicted big Beech mast was not too far off the mark from this report.

The beech mast prediction was a load of crap to justify the planned 1080 drops. Crooks in Doc supporting their mates in the poison industry/cartels. Well known fact that when you alter the ecosystem balance - shit happens. 1080 drops always cause a rodent plague 6-18 months post poison ops. But then i bet you already know that, aye 1080james?? :XD:Quote:

Oddly in one of my favourite areas there has been no rat or mice explosion despite not being 1080d in the last few years, there is the same seemingly stable low population of pests and a fantastic bush morning bird song . :)
Please fuck off politely all of those who mistook this post for anything vaguely to do with 1080. Watch the video. Enjoy the fishing.
video ?
No video? My bad, post was from some time ago. There are a great number of videos produced this year with mouse fishing, I will have confused this one for another. Or its just a big con to hide stuff under.Quote:

I have always shunned rod and rifle magazine because it had trout fishing shit in it and piss all to do with rifles.
Over the last 3?4? years I have found myself more and more wanting to catch a trout "properly" no doubt not helped by mr dundees regular posting of trout caught and fillets ready to be cooked then marinated in watties. :wtfsmilie::wtfsmilie::wtfsmilie:
seriously tho trout is on my radar, price for licence has been the put off for the last 30years but I am thinking I may have to spring for it, tho of course I would need a rod and reel and line and lures........................
I've tinkered with the idea of mouse fishing but it's never eventuated. I bet some of our Mohaka fish would be keen.
Not allowed any kind of bait here as far as I am aware, also no stocking so not sure what the license is paying for in this region?
Mouse imitation just like all the other flies.Quote:

Hmmm I not so sure about cheap fun.
I don't shoot birds so forget that.
I have caught or helped others catch well over 200 snapper this summer may even be over 400?
would have cost me less than 40 dollars in fuel and oil for the whole summer feeding my family extended family neighbours and friends.
I expect I would spend more than 40 dollars in diesel to even find a trout let alone catch one!
It is something I want to do(catch a trout "properly") but I think realistically my first legal trout will probably cost upwards of 500 dollars. :(
VC, if you ever find yourself in Hawkes Bay and have time for a fish then i can shout you a trout license, loan you some gear, and take you to one of our back country rivers in the Kawekas.
You will catch your share of trout !!
Thanks 7mmsaum :) but I cant see me getting north again anytime soon.Quote:
