Odd logic. Have yet to get a free lottery ticket by getting rego on my truck either

Maybe visit F&G website to see what I get for MY licence.
Im pretty happy at that, plus I get to fish at around $2-3/kg for fresh fish. YMMV

You get roads bridges and traffic lights for rego on your truck, you get released fish and managed fisherys and apparently up to a ten grand prize for your licence fee.

You say Tasman has a low licence buy up I say of course it is low! There is no stocking no competitions why the hell would you buy a license ? To fund somewhere elses fishery you may never visit let alone fish?

I don't share Islay whisky, and I prefer something a bit more stimulating than lolling around on a boat dredging for trout.

Then I suggest you take some good looking babes with you ......... Won't be much lolling around happening then.

And if there is its sure to be stimulating

Ultimately some team work led to this one firstly, he walked the 3 1/2 K to set up camp with a pack on in some pretty sticky stuff, i hooked it he played it with a lot of grunting for a good 5 minutes before handing me back the rod before yelling i'm going to get the net and taking off, the most aggressive heart stopping display of netmanship followed before i could calm him down enough to slip the net under her. I have never enjoyed catching a trout as much as that one or heard " its a good fish eh dad" repeated as many times as much in an hour. He caught a small one by himself in the morning and was good enough to let me net it for him.Unforgettable

Intend to paddle board for the first part of the morning then jumping on clients boats for Whiskys/I mean fishing. I don't range over this day just enjoy myself with friends and clients. The night before I'm pretty busy with drunks. illegal fires, guys who think there're tough, the odd idiot in a boat, not counting domestics, and opportunist thieves . So roll on Saturday morning.

Do what P38 says, and take some refreshments for old GA
