Had a good day out in Foveaux Strait on Monday with me old mate Sassy Sasquatch. The other boys were “too busy” to come fishing. Blew the cobwebs out of the skis and went most of the way to Stewart Island to our rock where we caught plenty of good sized bluecod in a couple of hours. Forecast looking good for Sunday. Bet the boys will come this time after seeing what they missed out on

I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
Bloody flat for foveaux. Good timing.

Just back from spending the morning with the family up the able tasman. Flicked the longline in off the back of the islands.
Went seal hunting....
And mucking round on the beach...
Picked up the longline....
Got more than tea this time ...

Its not what you get but what you give that makes a life !!
I had a bit of an inspection of the stomach contents of those snapper.
The usual...
No matter if these fish are caught in the shallow or deep water they always seem to have crabs in their diet. Although some of today's ones look to be a hermit crab of some sort.
The unusual....
Looks to be a small scollop. This is a good sign for us here in tasman bay as our scollop fishery has had a hiding from all angles over the last few years. So @veitnamcam not only are they washing up on the beach at tahuna....the snapper are eating them!

"Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
308Win One chambering to rule them all.
Took Tinny punt for a run as she hadn't been out for a while.
Quick hour or so fish up to the top of the tide in the blind channel.
Nothin big in there but the shortest fish is 31cm a few other pannies caught but released as a bit smaller and had no measure on the boat also a few more small Trevally released.
Not bad going really for about a cup of premix.

..........YUM YUM....
Dad was keen to get out this morning having heard plenty of snapper storys of late and @kukuwai had given me some good intelligence on the whereabouts of some closer fish so Dad picked me up on the way past.
Deployed a longline then moved off and burlyed up....it was slow fishing for a start but at least we were not being inundated with shit fish.
Finally one of the straylines took off and a nice snapper was boated.
Dad and Uncle both caught and lost snapper on the flasher rigs (rod holder caught hook not set)
A few gurnard and a xxl kahawai and then another nice snap on the strayline.
A few snakes and sharks showed up and then we were out of burly.
Picked up longline for some nice snaps and obligatory sharks and lost one good snapper as it broke the shitty old trace
It should be fine it was only shallow and hooked corner mouth.
