I like the idea but at the best I was a party basher with a half dozen good songs in me and that was thirty years ago. I haven't played guitar in the last twenty years or so.

Had a phone call today from a guy thats participating in the week long fishing carnival at Paihiatua. Hes won this comp a few times and his wife and brother have also picked up prizes at the annual event. Anyway he tells me hes been fishing for nearly the week and hasn't got his name on the board.He and his wife had this 11yr old kid with them too that has never caught a trout before.

The guy was getting frustrated as its the first time in 9 years him and his wife didn't have there name on the board.

So they bowled on up and parked there ute at my run off then I ferried them and there gear down to the river.I couldn't stay long unfortunately but showed them some likely spots and left them to it.

While milking the moos tonight a smiley face appeared so I left the pit and was greeted by 3 smiley faces.The dude and his wife caught one each of reasonable size and another first for the 11 year old kid who got his first trout in 'Jacobs' pool a nice 3lb rainbow.
Well thats another kid hooked on fishing! Hopefully these entrants will get somewhere in the comp now.

Possom trapper got wind of this when he got home school so there was no unlocking the slug gun tonight.Straight to the river bait fishing tonight he was,using a fresh hare leg or a bit as bait.It was bloody cold and windy.


I checked out 'Jacobs pool' looked good.


PT had one bite I had none but our luck was given too our guests Best of luck too them in the comp.

Congratulations to young Luke who got a Trophy at the Paihiatua fishing carnival.114 trout and 2 eel were weighed in.

Heres one that I got last night.

Good on you for sharing your resource Dundee. You are a good bugger.

More tourists tonight Neckshot and his young lad Jacob.No luck but a lot of fun. Dundees two piece rod had half of it in the water at one stage.

Jacob got his reel bird nested.

Neckshot "said if you don't get a trout" to Jacob "It will be Lukes pool" the kid that got one out of there yesty



So we carried on with our failed attempts 'THEN WHOA!!!'







Yeah right no luck tonight

Got 3 top fishos that "might" be coming here if there Makuri trip fails on Sunday.

The editor of the Fish n Game mag and the owner of Riverworks and a graphic designer all from Wellywood I think

Which makes me feel special that I can fish with a superstar anytime i want

Mrs D got a little one tonight.


Haven't heard back from those top fishos that might be coming.

Found Neckshot at the pub so he didn't get any
