Went fishing yesterday, had to drive around a bit to find fish. Got enough for the 3 of us. Snapper mainly, plus a single kw and a horse mackerel.

I'm in the driver's seat/side, and just to keep...

Yes.

Finally the stars have aligned, and it seems I'm going fishing tomorrow. Hopefully the boat remembers what to do.....

I hear you on that!
Didn't even get on the rocks and the rum was for afterwards.
Photos don't do it justice, horrible fishing conditions, so didnt do much and no fish were harmed......
Bloody...

No boats for this one, just beach and rocks. Not worried about the rain, for all those reasons, just a bit concerned on the wind and waves......

Rum already packed!

So, first weekend away fishing for nearly 2 years (just north of raglan), and this......

Could be a fishless great weekend.....

That looks and sounds awesome!

Finally got out for a fish.
And when I say fish, I mean the single.

Boat in, called into West haven for some gas, (2.59 a liter!! Won't be doing that again by choice....), and headed out to the...

35 ish years ago, there was a little place called the 'pakawau pickle pie palice' any chance of it still being there or anyone remember it?
One of the best ham sandwiches I've ever had.

I thought about what I wrote after I posted, and actually I am good at targeting them - I shot one with a spare gun, off the back of the boat a couple years ago. Didn't even get my feet wet....

If you're in auckland, let me know, and might be able to take you out for a snapper fish (maybe kingies, but I'm shit at targeting them....)

Bait board, out board, etc... And of the us of a can doit, we can certainly doit! Just not sure on the option that works with the nz fish....
Sabakis are great but also keen on lessoning bait...

I've seen the yanks using these and thought the same.
Any details on the net and where to buy? I'm keen to get one, but there seems to be a few of options. I want one to throw off the back ( or...

Oh hell yes! :thumbsup:

Do any good?

Lol, not mine!!
32knots in mine is 50l per hour, his is close to 500.....

Bloody nice boat though and A significant bit out of my league though....

Boss ring on Monday and reckons that we need a meeting today..... My boat this time (the weekend was on a mates 70ft 2600hp boat....)

Bit of a run out, about a hour, and sliders are deployed....

So get a call last Thursday "what you doing for the weekend? '. That lead to a nut drenching walk to a tender on Friday night off a beach.184860 That lead to many beers while steaming north for a...

Thanks.
Get one with a draw underneath (for tackle) . Also, not one with a lip - like this. It's a pain. Need one that's flat onto the board, so you can skin fillets....

Flat as up here to.
Good morning out today. 14 snaps and 1 45cm gurnard. Most snaps around 36 to 42. 3 around 45.
4 families having fish for dinner.

Got bitten at about age 5....

Must admit, that I've been stock piling for a while. A few hooks here, a few plastic squid there, a few more hooks, etc.. Always saying that I can make...

So last Mondays fishing was a nice day driving around on the water.
Had a heap of dolphins around us for a bit. Really great to see.

Actually catching fish, not so great. Managed a feed of...

That is a frustrating, but VERY proud dad moment, when one of the kids out fishes you. :)
Of every trip out with my kids, one of them (2) has caught something bigger than me.... I'm really happy...

Showing your sack to others, normally wouldn't be advisable, but in this case, yes getting it out there, could make the skippers life a bit easier :)

Funny looking tarakihi ;)

Thanks for the offer. :thumbsup:

In fact, went into a tackle shop today, and the rod reel section was looking a bit light. Maybe there is a shortage of gear.....

Lol, yes I'm a bit of a worrier.... Its just when you have had, inflatable life jackets, epirb, flares, smoke, etc.... The boat just doesn't feel right without them.....
Let alone the rods and...
