Unfortunately I'm a 1 in 75, get sick guy.
For the normal, short days I don't worry about it, however if its a out real wide, or Big boat and lots of people etc.... Sealegs. Cheap insurance, and haven't feed the fish for 4 years

(apart from one short mission, with a huge night before, and lots of rum & port, and a really shit sea, so it doesn't count....)

Kina raw taste crap.
Fried in a omelet are much better. (with chilli)

But mussels or crays, taste much better.
(also, snapper, crabs,flat fish, blue cod, kingis, zinger burger kfc, etc)

Chilli makes everything bettter.....if bacon or chilli cant fix it its not food.

Kina would have to be one of my favourite sea foods providing its in season and I get it.

Some people are just not man enough to eat Kina GA. My brother and I got in the shit on a dive trip because we brought back Kina and sat on the bow eating them.. Everyone else brought back crays and scallops and were royally disgusted in the two of us. They were even more put off when we savaged the cray bodies for the mustard. Some people aye?

Yea I dont think I have ever had a good one, they certainly didnt look like the ones on spiky gold hunters.

Got out for a sneaky fish today ...ended up with my retired neighbour for crew hes a top bloke but not boat savvy...windyty said SW 15 I was hoping for less ...nope SW12-15 cold as your motherinlaws smile. Snuck down the coast with a following sea...should have turned back!
Got to fishing grounds swung on anchor like a barstard..cod after cod 32cm moved more of the same except an undersize snap. One keeper cod and chucked it in heading for home wind against current stood waves up ..cut the corner instead of steaming out of the middle of the bay saw a very messy sea and read a big ugly very wrong and got a green one over the bow...the first time since my 20s ...crewman looked at me with wide eyes I gave him a wink and said brrrr..got out wide slowly where the swell/chop was more settled and jogged home without further incident. Stopped on a sheltered reef pulled 3 more keepers from 20ft un believable. Parked on the sand in the lee of an island ..4 carrots and couple of sand sharks ...wind kicked it up a gear so pulled the pin and home..couple mistakes today ...learnt from them ..crewman enjoyed his day out and said he trusted me completly and felt like he was in safe hands a very nice compliment .bit of scenery no fish photos.

Phew !!!. I dodged that bullet

My first kingfish on the spear. I'll save you all the details, but it was a lucky encounter and an epic battle followed. Fish nearly got away a few times, tangled in kelp and I nearly drowned! Definitely amateur hour underwater! Also caught a crayfish, so a great day all round.

Got the flounder net out Friday, despite excellent weather and tides it was very weedy for some reason and I only got 3. Was nice tho.

Go the flounder dog
Maybe a stormy at sea a few days ago and dislodged the weed to fill ya net. I set a mullet net in the Foxton river a while ago, but there was a heap of weed and crap washing down from a big rain up river and caught nothing but weed.

Sunday session ...
Barometer off the scale...hitting highs like a champion...out early southerly puffing...tried a quick drop on carrot patch , sharked to death .....so drifted down the coast ..ran over some sign that looked good ...next few hours was epic ...largest cod went 53.5 cm ...john dory was a close second ...pannie brim .. couple of turkeys to close. Couple of very solid runs on stray line one hook up dropped one diffenatly cotta. But what a day with family.

Sorry shit photos salty fingers killing fish and baiting hooks

Awesome
Bloody good size cod and a Johnny how good.
