Never say never mate. Plenty of guys up here on the look out for someone to jump aboard and help with fuel etc.
This 10 yr old got his dream fish recently on fathers day
Wellington 10-Year-Old Hooks Catch Of A Lifetime | Stuff.co.nz
Nice fish but not what I call fishing from a loaded pond
His dad looks really happy :-(
yeah cause his boy caught it:D
This is my fish that was caught on 6lb nylon using a black fury lure,fought the bugger for a while and the nylon snapped just as I got him to the bank. He was slower than me I dropped my rod that wasn't attached to him at this stage and jumped in the river and threw him out. If i came home with that story no one would of believed me if I didn't bring it home.:D

Might have to give it a go soon.
A second crack at a black and white boarfish. I was new to spearing about 14 years ago when I saw a big boy off Kiama Aus. I'd settle for a NZ boary but I just never seem to see them.
Are they herbivores DIB? Or can you catch them on bait?Quote:

There are so many fish I would love to catch.. A big blue marlin would be flipping cool and would love to land a 30kg+ kingy on topwater gear.
I'd be happy with a 30lb snapper off the beach or a good kingi.
Not a big fisherman, but being a North Islander, i would love to catch a real heavy 'big' Blue Cod....love the taste of those fish!
and of course, any marlin, YFT, Billfish, Sailfish.....anything of that ilk (or Elk)
Elk fish? Also known as a Wapiti fish Scouser??? :PQuote:

Keen to get my first ever Kingfish this year, super keen to get one off the rocks.
Mate be careful, they would consider you a delicacy over there. There’s been many a ripe Englishman cooked on a spit before today.Quote:

Just kidding, nobody cares about a sucker fish but I think it would be fun to brag about it just for laughs :)
I have met a few large scale suckers in my time and they are pretty easy to catch out.:D

Had a mate ring up the other day trying to twist my arm to go back to PNG chasing these reel destroying bastards ,this one is my PB 32lbs,on my bucket list is a Fifty ,out of snag filled waters ,mighty tempting . Been lucky to have fished around the world & ticked the box with most species ,but these Black Bass are my all time favorite Sports Fish & the waters they inhabit are spectacular, in proper Tiger Country,l rate them as hands down the hardest species of any to land . Might just do it before the Chinese take PNG over
