    Whitebait

    Hey fellas anyone having much luck with the white gold?
    been a bloody good season so far in the real bay going off previous years , managed to sneak a few days off work this week and ended up with about 5-6 pounds on Tuesday and about 2 pound yesterday. Heard of some massive catches in the last few weeks around here.
    bloody chur as when im the only one that eats it in our house so have managed to spread the love around to a few others that cant get out.

    I have not heard of any big catches here...a few good days after opening but rivers have been high and dirty mostly since then.
    If the rain ever stops I expect it will pour up the local rivers.

    Hopefully timing my run nicely.
    Rivers have been unfishable since I flew back to work.
    Hopefully I get a good spell when I get back as it should pour up after the fresh.
    Have someone over from OZ for a week who doesn't eat fish so I will get him to man a net if it runs😆

    Doesn't eat fish? Strange folk you hang out with.
    However, less bait to be shared! And a extra net man, so I guess a win win.
    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    Good stuff😆 Hope you saved some for those other dicksmacks south of you😆

    Oh and don't share that recipe with any of those other shackle draggers. They are worse than aussies. They will claim it as theirs in a few years.

    It's up the right way on my iPad. You can call me anything you want but Waikato will remain the King of beers.
