    Saw a sea snake too.

    They are indigenous to NZ and as so are protected as such. More common around the West Coast of the Nth Island.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    Nice.
    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

    One of those days.....you know the one ..you get up early ...buy a heap of burley and bait ...drive an through the dark to your spot and ......it goes bloody epic !!!

    Yip up and away over the hill with VC drizzle and fog ...wet arse day ...launch the boat only us and two other boats plus a work barge heading out! My first ever time boat fishing this bit of the coast! Flat as with a bit of sea fog headed out to spat farms ...VC had some intel so we headed for the depth recommended. Dropped the hook line (only one as VC is now a purist and only eats rod caught fish)....moved away and dropped our first burley ...I was still rigging up when VCs rod bent over and he got into a nice fish...

    This was the start of a day of good fishing ..we were pecked to death by small kawahai and I suspect pannie snapper on our bottom lines ..but when we set out our straylines then went next level ...they started slow but with a bit of current and wind tide swell all running the same way things picked up ...VC with a whole pilile got a screamer ..it ran and ran he put it reel into gear got three winds in and the barstard let go sucking the bait of the hooks. We got a few nice fish on the bottom rigs and on the stray lines , with VC boating a rat kingi and then the current picked up we set another burley soaking and the straylines soaking ..that's when it go crazy good ...baits in fish out ...until the point VC says mate we're running low on phillies so I ran out a squid head got a screamer and boated a nice fish ...then as VC does so very well he let a good run ease ..run again before setting the hook ! His rod came up solid and the bend told the story ..good fish on ..then after a solid battle a great fish circled into view! You beauty! So as the tide burley and bait ran out a 5 ft blue shark came into the boat ..we chunked up some squid and pillies and got him in camera range...VC got a photo or two ...and that was it out of burley out of bait and a solid bin full of fish ...we gutted and iced them down!

    So a morning of epic fishing we got back to the truck ..washed everything down then got into the tucker box that someone had left in the truck. Away home stopping along the way to share our catch with family and friends ..great yarns laughter and just going catching ...as VC says .....I like fishing ...but I love catching !! Another day with a good barstard ..Thanks VC ...from all who shared in a feed of fish this evening! ...photos to follow ...shower beer bed!
    Nil durum volenti !!
