    Still not really upto handeling any of my boats by myself so Dad picked me and the boy up this morning.
    Weather was not bad,fishing was ok....lots of annoying little kahawai and oddly we caught 3 or 4 very undersize snapper? We usually never get under size ones so while odd I guess it is encouraging for the future.
    Straylines and the longline were the go today with no legal snapper caught on ledger rigs., Caught a few and lost a few on straylines then the longline topped up the chillybin and we were home before lunch and the wind.

    I'm unsure mate. To be honest I really don't like them so it left with a christmas piercing. No way it was coming in boat

    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

    @Sparrow that last photo is absolute gold well done mate

    Here is a few photos from the top of the south for you fellas from the last day or two...



    As many kahawai as you like, made oka smoked a couple and let heaps go, great fun for all



    That little green rod sure got a work out to land this one and the youngest family member needed a bit of help but boy was he a happy chappy

    And before I post the following pictures a couple of things are worth mentioning.....

    1.) We are full there are no room for any auckland refugees

    2.) @Sarvo the green bottle is especially for you. (We loved that latest post in the dinner thread, dad was historical reading it )





    Goodnight all, hope you all have had an excellent few days

    Looks to me like a conger. Caught a few surfcasting.. The odd freshwater ones have caught in sea dont quite look like that but have been a little smaller
