Lazercraft is another mean, often overlooked option. Nicely finished, I think they still do a 520? The latest iteration of the fc boats are good too.

Spoiled for choice here in nz. Only problem at the moment is the bloody waiting lists

Yea logically I should sell mine now while its worth something and buy another in a couple of years when the market settels down but...

Here's mine. Just had it for a few weeks. Swapped my old FC 430 tiller for it plus a bit of cash. It's fairly old but seems pretty good. Has a 90 horse Yammy. Way quieter than my old 30 horse Suzuki.

Heaps more fishing room. Took it out on the weekend to the Coromandel mussel farms.caught a few but nothing to write home about. Might go for another fish on Saturday then it'll be all about the hunting.

Maybe if I had the room and gear to do it at home but I dont.

Okiwi yesterday! Back towards Nelson , 30 meters nothing until burly started drifting out, gurnard and blue cod then a run of pannies plus two 5 & 5.5lb, one very solid Trev. All shut down at 1245, still heap of burley and current. Had a good feed so no worries!

Diver was piss crook so no swimming. Lovely morning out , wind very light, Durville on the other hand was screaming apparently. WindyTy comes through again!

Wifey suggested taking me out fishing yesterday.....I thought about it for a couple of seconds then realised that would be worse than going by myself.

Daughter and myself sat up late bullshitn and laughing, was great at the time ...but dawn was a very different!

You mush have kept the whole of Okiwi awake

I took the boys out off mapua yesterday.

There is heaps of brim in around the 10m mark. They are nice fat fish 40-50cm, sorry no on water photos as I mistakinly left my phone in the truck. (had to weed thu heaps of little ones tho)

Also ended up with a half a dozen small trevally for a change. They been in the brine overnight, just drying them out for the smoker.



I was reminiscing yesterday as I was putting the boat in that.....this time last year was awesome flounder netting.

Mum and Dad just popped in they been in the sounds for the weekend. Dad got a couple of snaps in the Queen Charlotte so he was rapt.

It works......I tied about 6m of rope on each end of mineand clipped a big lead weight on the rope a couple of meters out from net to try and keep it down.
Then you can "drag" by taking a wrap around your upper thighs and still keep the net on the bottom. Go slow.....like 1/2 walking pace.

Tinny punt the flounder slayer.
It was only a 40m net full of holes too.

Must be close to 40 fish there?
