    Hadn’t had much luck on Okapara or Pudney lately - FB posts seem to indicate there were plenty of Snaps still being caught along Matakana – so why not give that a try
    In the water about 10.00 – a boat at the ramp had plenty of Snaps – they said – halfway along Matakana in 13m and they cleaned up in an hour
    So off we went – but the Bay of Empty did the job again – should have gone to Okapara before they closed it
    And so did my fuel tank – I had been convinced on previous trips that it was playing up and the tank was quite full – so just put 20 litres in for the short trip up Matakana – the bastard ran out on the way back 100m from the ramp – I normally have a spare 10 litre container – but not this time – no problem – let’s get the auxiliary going – must be a year or so since I did that – a long way from the small tank under the driver’s seat back to the motor – lots of hand pumping and pull starting – and away she went – thank goodness for an auxiliary
    Second time that an auxiliary has got me out of trouble – back in 2000 – my brand new 200 HP Johnson shit itself 10km down the SW coast from Plimmerton – a frost plug developed a pin hole and hosed the inside of the engine cowling with water – the electrics shit themselves – but at least we had a 15 HP Johnson and an hour or two to look at a bin full of Teras on the way back to the ramp
    So if my Yamaha fuel gauge indicates just two bars – its likely just got 20 litres of gas in the tank and when the last bar starts flashing – it is just about empty!

    Heaps of snapper round Motiti today man, had multiple pannies on every kina burley I dropped. Shot a couple then went and grabbed some bugs. Even managed to find a packy. Good cray numbers in shallow with plenty of bucks around. Bloody good day out in the end.
