I just remembered I forgot to take my screen off the jetty. It's only holding by a bit of garden wire wrapped around a stick. I never tied it off or anything haha. opps

I would try send it to auckland but I think it might be a little far, I've sent it to tauranga before and I think it had defrosted but was still cold so to auckland it'll probably start going warm which isn't good for fish I dont think Rushy

You're welcome to come down and scoff some up though. fresh :)

Keep some on ice Toby. @Gibo and I are doing a road trip mid November and I am gonna twist his nipple until he turns in to Wairoa for a feed.

Come down and fish some real whitebait. Not stuff that's to tired from swimming a million miles up river and can't be bothered missing your net ☺

Didn't really want to turn the boat off either. It might not of started again.
Going good now tho.

The sea was the meanest I have seen it from that close for a long time.
Got 3 kilo yesterday so that will do till it comes right or I am back for my next break at the end of the month.

I have missed out on 2 good buys because I am to friggin slow. Both in the N island and cost of getting them down was a concern.
Heard about a nice McLay that is not advertised that I will check out otherwise, I have decided to buy new.
Should have one by the end of November latest.

I managed me 1kg this arvo. Some of the shoals were that big that my little scoop net wasn't wide enough and the ones on the side spooked off the net making them all spook. Need to get a bigger net I think

When it is $100 per kilo retail, I am not surprised by this sort of greed
14-10-2014, 11:45 PM

Guys. Its not an issue at all. Shes got maybe 50 kg max there.
The bait start in June and finish around December. There has been all sorts of bullshit spun when we had 4 terrible seasons and then 3 bumper seasons straight after.
Greed is couple tonne a season and I know people that catch or caught that in the past couple years.
I don't sell my bait unless I fluke a haul more than I need.
Some pensioners rely on a good season. If they get it good on them I reckon.

Yeah - - quite right - - suprising how many people think the bait only come up the rivers in the whitebait season.
All this over fishing talk is bullshit
