    exciting stuff, when it all comes together.
    Say "God Save the Queen" nice and slow on the take. Was what I was told

    Is anyone in the Rotorua / BOP area interested in joining me for a night fish? The last 2 nights I've been out i've hooked 11 sizable browns but have been unable to even land one. The buggers seem to know every bloody tree and snag to break me off on and a little help to land them would be nice haha

    That is bull shit bomber you were taught by the spin fishing guru I also told you to put your thumb over your bomber when climbing down a steep bank so you don't spill it.

    Good day up the creek today. 7 for the arvo. Nothing huge but fit rainbows are fun any size.
