    We have had a "jetty/ramp fishing comp" at work a couple of times, and the fishing has been crap. So this time, took the boat, with the idea of staying within 500m of the ramp and see what we could do, also meant that a couple of people could be dropped back, as they had a short window to fish in.
    So, started with 6. Dropped 2 off during.

    Out this morning, boat home from okiwi for new sounder, that done taken for a test drive ..the one armed warrior and and an young bloke ..out in semi darkness ..VC preloaded the hook line so the set went easy.

    Seen as I brought the boat home no burley pots etc saw us looking sheepishly at each other ..in the end a big sinker and trace nylon saw a berley soaking...after the first one floated past after my knot to the anchor let go ..hmmm ...not our best start

    Waited half an hour ..zip ..VC pulls the burley sack gives it a stir ...bloody beaut ...bang we are on nothing huge same again male fish milting about 3-6 lb ...boated four ..check the burley ..bags being chewed ..Next please says VC ..down again

    Bang into them again no savage snapper strikes... just tap tap lift rod hit run fish on ..wicked!!

    Lost a couple of fish on the soft bait gear running 20Lb leaders ..went to 30 no worries ...discoloured water.

    VC got snaked running and went with a terakiehie terror ..thankfully ...as I was dispatching a fish tha VC had slayed the terror became my own as I slid my hand and empaled myself on a 4/0 ...lucky not a 7/0 . ..thankfully fine hooks and sausage fingers are ok .....so a bit of close eyes and pull saw me back in the game ...after a bit of a moment for myself!

    Fish kept coming they were off the bottom now hitting baits on the way down ...then VC does as he darn well does ...hooks a horse peeling line and digging deep made him smile as the fish of the day circled round the young bloke took to the net and land a very respectable fish ...

    That was us ....pulled the hook line again returning lip hooked shallow fish ..epic morning sharing time with amazing company...

    Loved the way VC mentored the young bloke ..the man is just a bloody top bloke ...no worries , full of ideas , and encorougement..the young bloke was full of bullshit and happiness when got home ..I dare say he caught more fish on land than he did the sea but ...by hell he knew he had being fishing ..

    Thank you once again VC and another forum member for fitting the new flash stuff..

    How good ...this good!

    Bloody great day out (apart from 0330 start time....)

    4 fishing folk, 11 kingis (4 kept, 111cm was big one in pic) heaps of snapper - the big one in pic is 68cm.
    Seen heaps of trevs feeding on surface krill - bloody neat to see.

    Now feeling rather sleepy and content....
