All the best mate. I hope you get there for a big Kingi.

we all checkd the wind no one checked the swell map ...we arrived to very average vis and limited options as a good sea was running outside the sheltered areas...
Guess having some local knowledge and dive fit off siders saw us succeed in area that sees regular pressure..both amature and comercial especially today as others joined us in the shetered bays and reefs at one time we had 6 other freedivers working a not overly large bit of reef ...ended up a great day. Would have seen over 100+ small crays today the keepers were hard work but we got our share.






Proud as hell and honoured to share time with my son and his best mate

Shit hot

Did no one notice the hedgehogs sneak into the bin?

Ahhh I would imagine you to be a connoisseur GM. Roe, roe, roe in throat sweetly tasting cream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily Kina’s are such a dream.

I'll have to give it a crack some time.

Fantastic morning out in the Tasman bay this morning.

Very smokey though and it seems to be getting worse. Much worse and all those boats out there will need their GPS to find home.

We filled the bin with some nice snapper



And dad managed a couple of XOS gurnard on his shiny new xmas present. So it seems the gurnard at least enjoy the shiney metal things @Shearer.



We got back to a complete traffic jam at the boat ramp, never seen it so bad.

I love coming home when everyone else is leaving

Thats the reason I just cannot get enthused about using my boat I cannot face the boat ramp shuffle/shambles

Absolutely fantastic few days down at @stingrays family batch.
The busyest I have ever seen the place....boats and people everywhere.
Batch choka with great people and keen fishers and divers.
We had a crack at the pass for a king but only saw one caught and marked none with 12-15 boats all trying to drift the torrent so called it on that and then fishing was mostly dive orientated prospecting new spots.






Great fireworks display for new year in the bay.
Lots of food beers and yarns.
Some epic gurnard caught and some good snapper too but not by me.
Thanks again Joe you are a bloody leg end.

Geeze mking good use of that fishfinder @stingray

Yes @mikee a wonderful piece of kit, home now wind up along with the swell, Lisa asleep on the couch dog asleep on the floor, huge weekend of food family and friends, 5 days of diving and fizzing for more.

Was very very lucky to have a paintent crew who hunted rocks on the sounder and marked me when I was fishing crays! Huge thanks guys
Had a great run only hunting one known rock the rest were new spots..everyone got a couple to take home to share.

Kings were hard to find, along with the snapper, a good friend did well ,but we got a just feed! Had a wee moment with a deep set hook line and 25 spikies, but other than that great weather amazing company , a good slice of luck and a bit of experience saw us doing well most days!

free to anyone wanting these long line clips.

Been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks. Arrived in Welly a few days before Christmas. Headed out on dads boat Christmas morning with him & my brother. A variety of species landed from some solid gurnard to Snaps and Terikihi, but the highlight for me was taking out my 6wt fly rod and battling some big Kahawai. My usual battleground for this setup are the backcountry waters of Otago and Southland, but I've been itching to put it (and myself) to the test in the salt, so with that in mind I loaded up the fly gear along with some home tied flies and off we went. The plan was really for snaps, but on the way out to our spot we eyed a few birds working and couldn't help but stopping by for a look. My bro landed a couple nice Kahawai on stickbait while I was gearing up. Once set up I got the line out and hooked up first cast, but lost it after a minute or two. Second cast I was in again!!! Bloody hell, Kahawai on trout fly gear is an INSANELY good time! It's great seeing that rod just keeled over! After finally landing my first ever Kahawai on the fly I popped that away and we headed for snapper country.

Good times man looks awesome kawhai are expressed
