I was actually busy searching whether a “ute” was a car or a truck when Gibo pulled up in his red Ute at 0430. The man brought a rod for me and we were off in the dark looking at bait in the wee hours, even saw some small Kingis cruising. I really liked the idea of bombing custom plug out there and making a big show of it in the hopes of attracting a giant angry fish to come and kill it. However no lures were killed but we got some casting in!! Saw a stingray, a kahawai and a buncha different kinds of bait. It felt great to be fishing as I hadn’t even fished in america since about September which is insane for me…but the wapiti were calling me this fall.
    The fishing wasn’t important. I enjoyed the company of Gibo and the yarns and the generosity of helping me out by taking me on a cast when I asked about it. The knowledge shared by Gibo was priceless to me and every word helped me attempt to get me head around all of the differences between fish and wildlife and fisheries and wildlife research and management in NZ. I will be learning for a loooong time but hopefully at some point in my life I will help make a positive contribution to NZ fisheries. I can’t thank you enough Gibo…that was absolutely great fun!!!
    Currently in Rotorua and going to take an hour or two mid day to make a cast at a trout if I can find my way to the banks of the Utuhina stream somewhere to give these shit lures I brought from the US a try
    Was a good morning for sure, even without the fish. Was really cool discussing the differences of how NZ vs USA manage fish and game, we definitely suck at it. All the best for the rest of your trip Matt. And thank you for the rum, you didnt have to do that but I appreciate it. Sounds like you have a solid schedule when you get to Nelson Some absolute good buggers down there!

    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
