    No but you are not really the one fishing when using bait, the bait is Dont get me wrong a good strayline session is great, but I prefer lures myself, more of a challenge imo

    This man has tried, he’s got a sneaky two piece rod ..to cast top water lures at kingi HQ ( French pass) even took the Shearer down with him, he’s tried slow jigs on a hot snapper bite , he’s tired bottom ships on a hot snapper bite , Gibo when you have a few days spare come show us how to catch Tasman bay snappper on lures …then I would love to see a kingi on anything apart from a jig.

    The challenge is on. I would love an afternoon yarning about lures fishing and bloke stuff …but I’d love to see a Tasman bay snapper caught on jig soft bait etc. …no bait no burley etc

    Be careful what you wish for Stingray, Gibo may come down and never leave. You already have Pengy down there, if Gibo comes (and stays) then Dundee may jump the ditch and all of a sudden Nelson will start to look like Hobbiton. In fact I reckon Pengy will have a photo somewhere of these three when they were ranked short, shorter and shortest in a certain wool shed several years ago. Oh and as an after thought, I reckon Gibo is up for your challenge.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Apparently fishing is an ok past time again according to mini me.
    Him and I got a couple of hours in fishing last nights tide, only landing a sand shark but that made the effort worth it apparently.
    So we were off floundering today so I was told at 9am this morning.
    Flicked out a few messages but all the handy full size Humans were either at work or sporting, so I grabbed VCs lad and we headed out to wage war shortly after lunch.
    It is winter aye?
    Wetsuits on and into it. Here's me hoping I can supervise from the shore, nope, "You are the tallest (just) so you get the deep end". Well bugger me it wasn't a very low tide.
    First drag through the ole honey hole pulled 4 flatties on deck, weed cleared and in again, heading upstream for a short drag into shallower water, for my benefit apparently..
    Nothing but weed.
    Back down below the honey hole for the third drag just as the tide turned, sees me swimming to the far shore to tow the net upstream. It wasn't a very low tide remember.
    A heap of weed and looks like we struck out again. We start clearing the net and preparing to depart, with the promise of brewing a hot chocolate when we get to the carpark.
    One of the apprentices sees movement and rescues one lucky last flatties from certain drowning.
    Five tasty morsel for our efforts. A bit smaller than the usual offerings but hey, winter and all, so we are happy.
    Dried off, a warm drink and we head home content.
    More than we could have caught on the couch. The couch was a damned sight warmer though eh lads.

    Hi Nelson/Tasman Fishers,

    I am heading down next week for 3 to 4 weeks or so and just wondering if its worth while bringing the surfcaster with me?, I will bring my fly rod with me to have a crack in the winter limits.

    Also available if anyone needs a decky (wont have my boat fishing gear with me on this trip) or flounder net dragger or spearing. I assume winter fishing not as productive as summer from off the beaches?

    Cheers FBD
