    I’d be in to a chunk of that Woody, providing we are back in Level “go somewhere”

    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

My first stop will be some time on my Thornton pond and might even sneak in with Lentil, after that Woody in Reporoa. Wife will have to ok it but shes all for me enjoying myself. Maybe Bonecrusher in Aniwhenua my old haunt for nearly 20 yrs of shooting.

    Well that was a lot of fun. Met Ingrid1 yesterday arvo and we went for a fish, jigging to be more exact. Haven't done it for some time, first fish hit on the first drop to the bottom but unfortunately didn't stick. The gear let us down a bit as it hadnt been used but we still picked up a couple of nice Maiden hens, must of lost at least another 4. Right on change of light a change of plan was called and we went Harling. Had a couple of more hits but no hook ups, and thn finally we got another one. All of the fish were around that 1 to 1.5 kg so resonable eaters. Any way a great afternoon with a very nice and interesting guy. What was really good was we both have similar backgrounds and had very similar war stories. We will be doing it again, just have to work out my comfort thing as I was not good at all last night had to much fun and over did it I think. Mind you I would do it again tomorrow. Thank you for your bloody good company @Ingrid1.

    I agree it was a great meeting Bos. Thanks for the invitation and your company. I think you need to amend your posting a tad and include the bit when I cried in the bilges as you reeled in another. Oh...while you are about it, include the incident of my hooking into that big one; the line peeler that swung the boat round.

    Seriously though, it was a most pleasant time and I again thank you for your hospitality.
