Ended up with a Fishpro. We bought new as the second hand market was mad.

Nice. There's a quite a few Fish Pros in my neck of the woods. Agree about the secondhand market!

Really happy with it so far (although I have only ridden one other before and that was a long time ago). The fishing features have been really well thought out. Done about 8.5 hours on it so far but not much fishing yet.

Life is fantastic ...managed to twist old rubber arms VC to boatman for me while dived this afty...we banged a few spots we being plotting plenty of country and all the signs say crays, red and blue moki conger eels..dingey dark holes and cracks but no joy ...down up move yarn down up move yarn ..was a poor return for our efforts...

Went back to our original mark of a rock the had alot of crays that I couldn't reach back in autumn ..hoping they would be out further in the dark ...down to find the cave and deep cracks damn near empty ...5 of the previous 30 plus remained ...swan round and round ever widing circles hello a wee buck ...great finish to the day ...interestingly bigger crays that were there in autumn ..thanks again VC for letting me swim ..life is bloody good

My pleasure.

Geez you geezers live a hard life down that way

The big drag...out to the island this morning met up with top blokes @kukuwai @veitnamcam his lad and vc’s mate Theo.

The beach was deserted in both directions being a damp, cool morning, this was our first try at dragging this area , so excitement was high and yarns a plenty!

Out with the net and the slow march began, in with the net to find not flounder but a massive sole and his average size mate along with a dozen paddle crabs making an tangle of themselves. With the extra hands the weed removal and crab sort out went smoothly and we had the net back in the tide easily.
Next couple of drags saw more reasonable sole and a monkfish.
The chill set into the damp and one more go was decided upon, Kukuwai and I were on the haul something reasonable hit the trawl! It broke the surface with angry tail shakes , so we beached the net to find another sole and a decent rig .

Many hands made light work of the clean up and pack up. Home with a weed free net and into a hot shower! Perfect start to the weekend!
Thanks to everyone had a great time ..do it again soon when the tides allow.

Yea good times

Pretty sure after a google those two large fish were Turbot.

Where's the photos @stingray ?

Turbot..yum.
