Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Look at those photos closely …they look like baited lures …not saying that there is anything wrong with that …but I’m still backing burley and bait in Tasman bay!

In my humble opinion, if you really want to catch fish, baited lures are the way to go. Best of both worlds. You'll pick up fish that want to feed and those whose predatory instincts are triggered, plus those that are curious or pissed off with the "alien" visiting their home.

Maybe not tomorrow...but fishing NZ by Friday!!

Always.
Spend 22 hours traveling to NZ, sleep a bit, buy fishing license, get some poor sucker to take me fishing Monday morning, travel the land warning the good people of NZ that we (me and 3 cute ladies) will be moving there in 2023, cast in to any legal water I deem fit for a fish, visit with folks we see/meet, visit with the NZ hunting/shooting people I've been talking to for almost a year...other than that, no real plans

PS: It's all your fault that we're still planning on moving there...in the past year I've spoken to or emailed or zoom called with 20 people from NZ and they have been the 20 nicest, most positive, most accommodating, open folks I've ever met in my life.

If you're in auckland, let me know, and might be able to take you out for a snapper fish (maybe kingies, but I'm shit at targeting them....)

Most hospitable of you Beaker. As to King Fish think rocks but don’t put your boat on them mind.

Remember always to check clean and dry. Didymo ruined S.I. fishing for me. Keep it outta the N.I. for as long as possible.

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
