    Two on Taupo today, jigging The Ginger Mick, had both on board in about 15 mins, released the second just under 450mm.

    Maca everything is on a lean. Were you on the piss as well?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    Rushy I have given up trying to get photo in the correct orientation, if there's a trick to it I have yet to learn, to correct it would take me hours, so lock your screen and turn your tablet 90 degrees

    @Maca49

    It's probably caused by the angle of the dangle, so either adjust the angle or the dangle.

    That or your slipping off the edge of the earth in which case there's nothing more you can do.

    Cheers

    Pete in Maca's case it is the slope on the dope.

    Thanks Pete I'll spin the camera while I'm snapping! @Pete do you belong to a pistol club in the bay? If so do they have any retired guys shooting mid week?

    @Dundee, Mrs D and Sean

    Thanks for the day out, your awesome hosts.

    Plenty of fish seen too.

    We had a bloody good time even though the fish weren't biting ( I think your feeding them too much Dundee ).

    Mrs P38 is still very keen after seeing the Trout today.

    Will keep trying.

    Good luck fishing tonight.

    Cheers
    Pete

    bomber had one hit but striked as if it was a sea fish which probably wripped the lure out of the trouts lip.Still educating this fulla but he learnt a lot tonight.
