    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)
    While I might not be as good as I once was, Im as good once as I ever was!

    Due to the imminent sale of mates farm, the possibility of me fishing the Solomons for a GT is getting stronger. He says that one of his first projects will be a proper Kiwi house to replace the beach hut, and lil ole me is in pole position to go help build it

    Mate be careful, they would consider you a delicacy over there. There’s been many a ripe Englishman cooked on a spit before today.
