Havent missed an opening day since I started accompanying my father when I was just out of triangular trousers. This was my 59th year.
Out on the Kaipara fri night. Set dekes out at 10pm, slept in my 13'Allicraft. Slow start, didnt see a bird till 8am. ended up with 5 for the day.
Weather opening day was fine , no clouds or wind.

Shortly after moving I was joined by my hunting buddy in his boat.....
Weather sunday was much better, wind, rain/drizzle. Ended up with 22 mallards between us and 1 Canada Goose.
