Just like the last lockdown beautiful blue flat calm seas and no boats out !!

I'm wondering if exercising locally would include drag netting

Low tide now ,
I thought exactly the same thing, but struck a snag …my bubble partner doesn’t have the rubber arms that I do, even though I offered to take the deep end!

She just looked at me as she sometimes does ,patted the dog, and muttered that I’m once again, “some kind of idiot!”

Not seen one recreational Boat go past for all LD
Amazing how disciplined us Kiwi are ah
Shame the Mussel farming industry that supplies the origin that caused us not to go fishing "still operating"

Checking out a home ground ...you would think it's the first place to look ...but no 7 years later I take depth gauge for a walk

Depth gauge doing his job

Flounder dog taught him some skills

The locals say this channel is worth a hunt

Fishing God points out the good spot

We will see ..

So last Mondays fishing was a nice day driving around on the water.
Had a heap of dolphins around us for a bit. Really great to see.

Actually catching fish, not so great. Managed a feed of snapper and a trev. Nothing huge or to small.

This week, this is all I can do.... Getting ready for a hapuka /blue nose mission.... And some other experimental rigs....

That is a serious effort of thought and use of gear! Wow I am very impressed ..slay em

Bought a lot of white baiting gear, have found a productive site and spent a few hours today making white boards. My grandson and I will be chasing them tomorrow!! Had a good feed today from a heap my son got given, looking forward!

Got bitten at about age 5....

Must admit, that I've been stock piling for a while. A few hooks here, a few plastic squid there, a few more hooks, etc.. Always saying that I can make these things, but never had the time to do it, well, lockdowns provide a bit of a excuse to do it.

Made a couple of deep rigs last year, for a 5 day mission. Worked perfect. So making alot more this time. Quite a few are give aways to.

First day, rebuilt the white boards to remotely adjust the weight and float. Went out with my grandson and got a feed, there wasn’t a lot coming thru
Spent this morning modifying, so I’ve got total control, went out for about 1-1/2 hours this avo, boards worked great. Got another good feed and some private access to the river. This is retirement, so much time to perfect things!!

Not a lot but enough to hook in a young one! Well done @Maca49. Mean set up

We flounder tomorrow, fingers crossed . Can’t wait to get wet again!

That was my first try, but the square down pipe would not locate in one position. I modified it so it now sits wide face top. Also made the weights removable for ease of transport.
