My boy has had a few tho.

Actually heard of a few snapper caught lately at Rossi beach but could be just rumour.

The ol mans best mate caught a goodly number of snapper from shore with a kontiki at both Bruces bay and Jacksons during the roar last year when he got sick of chasing scrubbers around in the scrub.

Great morning out,great when your intuition worksout too.
stingray caught some good fish on the rod as did I. Always exciting to have fish stripping line.....we were both a bit rusty and ballsed up the first couple of GOOD snapper but then redeemed ourselves with catches of 10-12 pounders, donky Kahawai,big and little gurnard, well legal blue cod out in nearly 40m over a mud bottom....massive pod of dophins heading south up the bay.Rat kings circling the boat.Stingray landed one on bait and flasher.
A few of the obligitory spikey dogs but all in all pretty good really.
Big fish coffin pretty much full...sunburnt tired and happy.

Fillets in the fridge. Wings head and frame heading to the smoker.



It is amazing how much food is in a fish when you use all of it.

Going to check that out this year.

No snaps where we are at this stage but have had a few well legal blue cod and 2 massive Gurnard. Had a stag on the beach this morning and there is pig rooting in a lookout picnic spot behind the batch.

Had a dive to check a broken mooring and was surprised to see a healthy population of undersized scollops. Seen some huge ones as well but maybe the ban is having an effect in a positive way. Don't normally see many scollops where we are.

Dog is having a ball swimming in the salt and annoying everything that moves.
He has locked up on perfect points on a shag and seagull so I spose that something.

Sure is a tough life with hunting and all.

We are just so bloody lucky with this country of ours, look at all the posts in this forum over the last couple of days.
It doesn't seem to matter where you live... everyone's having a blast !!

As for us we had a fantastic morning out in the bay, it is just primo out there at the moment.
The water is so blue and clear, can see the packs of kingi's easily under the boat.
At one stage we had a 4-5 Ft blue shark come up the chum trail right to the boat causing a lot of excitement with the kids.

As for the fishing we landed a few good sized blue cod and snapper and a couple of gurnard.

My bros daughter caught her biggest fish ever, a lot of hard work getting this to the boat for a 9 year old caught on a baited flasher rig. She wasn't at all concerned at having to release it as only 66cm still pretty happy.

Had a troll on the way back in hoping to hit a find a bigger one but no luck.





Some for dinner, some for the smoker and some for the freezer. Everyone is happy
