hesitant to even type this suggestion....what about dragging a short length of chain...light dog chain type maybe 2 foot long length just enough to make a good rattle as you walk along???

Could work ??? But I like to keep it simple and it's the first one I have had bowl me over

Out with Dad and a mate this morning, picked the hole in the wind out of mot...was about 8 knt off shore heading out but still with a bit of northerly swell coming in so slow steam out to the mussel farm from mot.
Dropped a longline moved off anchored and burlryed up.
Was pretty quiet for a start but right on high tide...as the tide and burly started to run we got some bites but just small kahawai...45 min or so after dropping the pick I landed a nice 14-15p snap then we got busy from there.
A
8 nice snapper on rods and wind picking up we went and picked up longline....One good snap that escaped and one Panni snapper and a bloody great bird's-nest of spiky dogs.
Back at the ramp it appeared we had done better than most....he who has the most burly wins.

Nice morning on the water this morning

Left early from Grossies nice and quite then but holy moly what a circus when we came back in at 9.30, boats and trailers everywhere so I reckon there will be a good turn out at the comp.

No entries for us but ended up with seven snaps and a few fat gurnard so more than happy with that.

Very happy no doubt

Ol mate @stingray will come along with a yarn no doubt
Joe myself and my son went diving, come in roktoy and rocktoy junior joined us....we got crays flounder and sunburn.
What more could you want.

Big day out today , prospecting new turf, saw crays from 3 inch long to a solid 6+lb buck, snagged a feed ,missed a few and learnt a few more life lessons!

VC found that hunting your feet first produces, we failed to bag that cray, swam some more turf tits up a couple good keepers then my mojo kicked in and I bagged a pair !

Changed spots again vis still average but more crays , banged a few , nothing huge VC bombing rocks saw a massive cod but as life is they’re there then there’re gone,
Blew out , ran out of gas and warmth , up into the boat out! Wet suit tops off and a beer, running out of tide we made the call to headed in , up into the estuary watched other folks retrieving their boats , set up the cooker to find we were almost out of make things hot juice.

So onto shore we wandered set up a wee driftwood fire and finished off the snags , then just because @ROKTOY turned up we had a couple of digs for a feed of flats, the first was quite average then the second was quite bloody fantastic.

That was about me did one more quick dig a couple of shorts and a 2 inch log gurnard ..

Yarn could / should be a lot better …absolutely rooted ..VC has a few photos he can post …over n out Zzzzz

Posted above mate.
But tea was excellent ��

The lad and I turned up on the sand mid afternoon to see these 3 guys had had a successful outing in the water for the day. We had a quick consultation over a regulation beverage and set to with the net. A couple of drags before the flood set in and we had a few fish in the bin. We pulled the pin before the water started to fill the channels and retired to Stingrays place for a yarn and a bit of shade.
Thanks guys, another good afternoon with some good company.

You lost me at porridge
But a nice mornea (can't spell poncy words) with all the meat from the body is the way I generally go

Rules vari by region but here It is a maximum of 6crays per person diving per day with a maximum accumulation of 2 days.
They can be caught with or without bottles. However if there are bottles on the boat you may not harvest any Paua or Kina. They must only be harvested on breath hold.
