No I can't Cam, but I reckon i might give it a crack too as most likely will be fishing anyway. Just need to check if the misses has any plans that weekend

Great couple of days down okiwi with @stingray and family.
Snorkeling trip for me and the boy with fishing posted very second, sat was good tried spot one nice weedy shallow rocks looking for butters.....glimpsed one but it vanished, hung a burly off the boat...shot a yellow eyed mullet out of a school of probably 100 under the boat.....bit later Garfish in burly trail.
Been a while since either me or my son had been in the water and it took a while to get comfortable again, sort leaking masks and stretch the lungs.
Spot two....marked a big rock on sounder anchored up off it and went for a look.
Bit of a swim round and a few dives.... finally getting comfortable.....breath holds still shit but comfortable and getting down having a look and coming up without panicking for air.
Found a big cray...out and grabable...well if you knew what you are doing and I don't....Did 3-4 more dives without getting too close to it to make sure I knew exactly where to dive and to not scare it off( vis was okish but easy to get lost on surface)
Tryed a few times to dive down at the same time with my son to get him to see it but he was struggling to get to the bottom.
Planned my attack, swam down side of rock till I could see his horns and half his body....grabbed and got horns but he slipped back before I had got a tight grip.....then I felt feelers and I let it go rather than rip them off.....he didn't go far back and I thought with a tank he would still be gettable so didn't disturb him anymore.
Up and out,Son had a few shots with spear gun but no connects yet....also needs to grow some mussels so he can load his own spear.
Picked up longline we had set shallow, one good gurnard,couple missing hooks and a Panni snapper head.
Headed out in the middle for a drift fish, slayed a few sharks cod and gurnard and headed back to the batch for clean up,a few fizzys a feed and the obligatory bullshit/shit slinging match��

I was very slack on the photos this trip

Out this morning, with the weather due to shit plan was to get Joe to dive big cray rock but as we went in there there was another boat with divers in the area...I am full of snot with a head cold and not getting in...wind came up and I just wasn't feeling it.
We bugged out and came home cleaned boat etc and got out of the way for Joe.
The cod bashers had done another good job boating a feed and we sat round in the sun for another round of heckling before I headed home.

Thanks very much for the hospitality Joe and Family
Always a good time.
