    Tokoroa Chicken in purple and black is a winner. Fished well out behind the boat.

    @Gibo that's good i have got heaps off bullet heads, i got those ones as a point of difference. They were actually marketed as mahi mahi lures but i trimmed them down a bit.

    Interesting what you say about single hooks. Most of my lures are rigged with singles. However I now have half a dozen doubles so will conduct an experiment.

    Those doubles in the photo were from the local commercial store, they were very adamant they were the way to go?!

    First dip of the autum season.

    Invited the usual gang of blokes. Tides wern't huge but suited a afternoon fish .

    First drag up the ebbing currant, felt a bite
    my side and a couple on the imports end ...so with a bit of encouragement from a short fella @Pengy ..we hauled the drag ..well bugger me the pom's curse has being lifted .

    9 beautiful flats lay flapping on the shore amongst them a much sort after diamond / sand flounder..

    Smiles all round a bit of weed shaking and stick removal...down the beach and reset.. @ROKTOY arrived and got gear up...we finished our second drag with another handful of flats ...
    @ROKTOY and the @Pengy .managed to set up their own drag ...but with a flooding tide and short legs and waders ...my concerns for the deep water specialist were increased .

    We wrangled him back to dry land after much hissing and bitting left the taller import to manage the deep end .

    The flood pushed and hits were called ..so with the tide running and tippy toes the drag was recovered...wow big solid flats and a massive diamond a huge treat .

    Binned the net but the hard working crew wanted one more dip..sectioned off a 1/3 of a flooding Chanel...shared a beer and a yarn..

    Nothing until old stinker headed up the flats ..hauled him in ,lifted the net off em and a bonus flounder splashed about in the drag at our feet ...perfect .

    I dare say that like mine, those Penguin legs should should carry a public blindness warning. Good fish there guys.

    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
