Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Not much to like here....Put those fish back and get back to work.......or maybe just the GPS marks, I'm up there on Wednesday!

I must say how much I appreciate reading of the fishing exploits of you Tasman Bay guys on this forum. Just a bit of banter and great stories (and photos) of what you’ve been up to. This is everything that this forum should be about - none of the pervasive political BS and name calling that is spoiling parts of this forum.

Looks like great weather for the next week or so, so make the most of it and I look forward to reading of how it went.

Stingrays here all week....Im back to work Thursday.
He is always keen for a yarn or a fish.

Oh what a day what a wonderful day.

Absolutely slayed the kings.... unbelievable fishing.
We kept one and released everything else

I know a certain young man who is so, so grateful for today mate. Think his old man might be slightly impressed too. Good on ya.

That looks like some primo conditions. Well done on the Kings

Well what a difference an hour makes VC and team headed away at 5am we followed at 6 ..the had boated 6 kings when we arrived ..flood ran out and so the fish spread out ..they bashed cod on the legal side of the pass ..I took my invited diver up the coast to a rock while his in-laws / my neighbour’s bashed cod ..heap of current made it hard to drop onto marks, heaps of undersize blues made it hard all over ..diver saw a few and missed a few ..moved more of the same ..pod of dolphins smashing anchovies dropped diver in ..dolphins thought he was neat got wicked go pro footage ..

Back to diving last chance hole ..diver burgled a keeper , scared a few more ..we nabbed couple of keeper cod “ phew”, sea breeze pushed us home, cleaned boats gear , fish , then ate wonderful food with wonderful company. Then sun baked early morning , diving , fishing out outed , body gave up off to bed ...perfect...huge thanks to VC and my lady Lisa for a epic few days ..bring on the rest of the week !

The reason for all the joy

Dolphin swim on a budget

What a bloody great few days away....times like these dont just happen they happen because of a bunch of good barstards.
Thanks to everyone who was a part of it and especially thanks @stingray you good barstard.
Now I am back to work to nurse some sunburn in a big tin shed for a few more days.

Now dear friends , can we have a moment of silence ...for this weekend we lost a soldier and a dear friend of mine ...he was in his prime , had done his basic training , as was full of potential, hope and promise ..we had journeyed to the dark lands battled ,spent ammo fighting the good fight ..

I sent him out with a crew that I thought would have his back ..alas I was wrong he was cast into the current to be lost alone ....

so raise a quiet beer, as I bow my head and shed a quiet tear for a man taken to early!
You will be missed !!

@veitnamcam do you have anything to share with the group??

Yes Joes rod got kicked out of the rod holder by a king I was pulling aboard.....bad place for the rod but yeah just freak accident type thing really.
It went into the water and I couldn't believe it.....I looked for something to snag it with but I had a fiesty king in one hand and it was still atached to the other rod so couldn't use that to snag it and it just disappeared to the bottom of french pass
