    What VC doesn’t tell you , is how good it is to go with local knowledge. We brought wetsuits and high hopes , VC brought the know how ...how to get a bloody angry stingray out of the trawl ..how to supervise and yell instructions ...

    Honestly this was an epic afternoon we’ve tried before catching logs a large Kahawai and shit ..today was just that good ...deep ..neck deep but good ...three harden fisherman set sail ...dragged so much weed we would have made a stoner weep ..then I chose quiet gut ( that was well out of my depth ) VC offered helpful advice like “ keep swimming “ ...my import friend stood beside VC yelling advice like “ don’t worry I’m ok” ...so when I finally beached we dragged the trawl in to find we had snagged 4 flatties

    Well that go the blood pumping so another shallower drag was set up , we got a thump ...me yelling “ fuck yeah we’ve got a beauty “ only to see a rather pissed off ray trying to turn our drag into candy floss ...my import mate strove forward to shake the bugger out ...VC was superviseing yelling let it go up tide ...nope ..free then straight back in the net ....more of a cufuffel and it’s away ...then the tide pushed we hauled and well bugger me flounders ..big wide delicious flatties .

    Cleaned the weed from the net had a second dig another handful .....Tide and time wait for no man and so it was that was our lot ....cleaned the fish VC brought the boat up ..we headed for home ..words cannot express the worth the knowledge of VC his nets and spots ...thank you from all that will enjoy fresh flounder tonight

    Holy crap that is one of the coolest things ever.
    I'd be tempted to jump in the water just to film that
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I catch quite a few gurnard by accident. Definitely over sand. Can be over a wide area, but usually concentrated. Small orange soft baits and microjigs fished close to the bottom do the damage. I'm not suggesting this is the best way to catch them, just my experience as a lure fisherman. I think the real grunter hunters use small fish baits presented on ledger rigs fished on the bottom.
