Old Celtic tradition to offer goods to the water. Pretty sure everyone's done it, and you two certainly have a bit of Celtic in you.
I'll be there come March.
I'll have to give it a crack some time.
Did no one notice the hedgehogs sneak into the bin?
I was thinking about 50m off the verandah.
Damn this warm weather is getting to me, might have to get the yaks on the water.
7mmwsm, ya can't fool me. That ain't 50 metres off Albatross.
Managed to get out to the mouth of the Waimak to target kahawai with gadgette#3. Managed to hook one earlier this year, with stingray, but lost it a couple of metres from the boat. This time I...
Those shiny things have a guarantee to catch too, or your money back.
Yup, the first thing they catch is fisherfolk.
That looks like some epic fishing fellas. :cool:
Just do it through the cabling.

Hence the heaps of goo, was going in the rubbish afterwards anyway.
Next mission is to work out a battery holder in the hull. Not many glues are overly successful on hdpe so might weld something...
Starting to rig the new yak.
Installed a hatch in the boot.

Positive proof they are about. Well done.
Did better than me. My feet are still dry. At least I've had some time to work on gear though.
Just as well there are good buggers to remind you when you forget.
Have pulled some good groper out of there in the past.
I quite like mackerel and other tasty/oily fish.
I've probably caught more fish on pipi than anything else.
I've always grown up with mix'n'match fishing gear. No worse than putting an American scope on a Scandinavian firearm.
I think it is time to track down my dinghy.
They had to be somewhere.
Time to get "The Thing" in the driveway up and running I think.
Batten down the hatches.
What wind? It was like a still day down here. And to top it all off, when I got home there was very little wind here. Hey Nelson, I think I found where your weather went.
Big thanks to veitnamcam for taking the rookies out to wet the lines. I even unwrapped another rod that had been sitting round for about 15 years. Another one of those really good deals that was too...
