Great after work dive, even better to have a skipper / boatman that takes care of you staying in close and generally being a good barstard!
Vis was surprisingly averagegiving the weather we have had and it being an open coast, sadly the turf was the same ...on the sounder it looked great on the bottom it lacked holes cracks and holding turf. Plenty of large rocks but not holding structure.
VC was amazingly patient as we bombed turf all over , the weather was unbelievable calm to the horizon apart from the boil ups .
Ran out of light before we ran out of air , old faithful rocks still holding good numbers of crays, from tiny to good keepers , tonight the catching holes were empty but the cunning batstard holes were holding plenty ...a great safe dive.
Amazing evening , so calm you could hear the Kawhai rsssssshhhhhh the surface ..and the goats bleat from the sunny face.
Killed a few fish including 55 cm Kawhai a few delicious half grown snaps, released some keeper pannies and a very solid rig easily 130cm ..
Ended the evening with a sunset and a beer and some yarns.
Thanks VC was an epic few hourss
