I was pretty sceptical seeing that for the first half of Matts career he was sponsored by lion red but its not a bad drop [emoji106]

Caught this at port Nelson this afternoon while waiting for an appointment. Some sort of mackerel. Anyone identify it? @Pengy?Attachment 271697
To add to this, possibly a Chilean Jack mackerel? It was over a half a meter long.Quote:

Going to smoke it tomorrow.
They are a seasonal visitor here, and get targeted by the local Indian guys as they reckon it makes a good fish curry.Quote:

Here's yesterday's 'wellbeing day' catch. About 5 hours of myself and my wife fishing. We had a great day. It's not outstanding compared to what you guys catch but for us it was our best day yet. Took home 3 blue cod, 6 snapper, 1 gurnard. All ~35cm so nothing big but all tasty eating. Also caught a barracuda, plenty of spotties and a small kahawai.

I smoked it this morning and am impressed. They are a solid little fish, similar to a kingfish but slightly skinnier around the tail. I might have to come back and get a few more. Nothing wrong with the taste, that's for sure.Quote:
