Top of the south forum fishing trip.

[stingray]

So after all the fish are fried, lies are told and rods and reels cleaned ....one person stands alone ...his lures hanging limply from his rod , stacked 5 deep in his tackle box! Years of experince of north island snapper under his belt!!

Watch and learn he scolded me , no smelly bait hands for me he scorned us high on his tackle box! Lures are the future he announced to us the unwashed unbelievers!! So now as the dust settles and the tide once again laps quietly against the shore and epic snapper battles are relieved with partners and children sitting wide eyed in wonder as gentleman and a young lady remember battle fought against mighty demonsions!

All .......but the one who failed to slay a mighty south island snapper ... @Shearer a young man with so much promise only to stumble at the very first hurdle slaying spotties two at a time. It must have being a crushing defeat from which he did not recover and was unable to slay a South Island snapper ...next year shearer next year ....hell mate I'll even bait your hook !

Huge thanks to the forum member that pointed this fact out to me!
