Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Out of Delaware today with Dad and his nextdoor neighbor to the carrot patch, spiky dogs were frustrating and moved spots a number of times but it seemed the only place free from them was the bluffs were we watched a mob of goats.
Eventually a dozen really good sized gurnard in the bin we chased some cod.
Actually got two really good ones 47 and 48 cm and a few more in the high 30s with the obligatory undersized ones.
Moving spots seemed to be the key..get one or two kerpers then move on.
Weather was fantastic,geat day out.

Came home and donated again to the Delaware bay access group for the upcoming court case to retain public acces to this area.
06-0958-0210014-00 If anyone would like to donate to keep this only safe launching spot between nelson and okiwi bay open.

Good shit VC looks primo. Cheers for the account number. Donation incoming. After all how can they close it, they didn't build it, its just an inlet !!

I wondered whos that ute and trailer was when I took the dog for a run up the road, awesome day for it, glassy all day. Carrots have been a bit hit and miss out the front according to my weekly chats with the locals, one dinghy fisherman caught his limit of carrots last week, another only a couple and even a southern sailfish and a couple of kahawai.

Now the stirrer in me would suggest you get hold of the local marae and go all native on this one...we have been launching our waka from here for the last 29 generations,its an area of tribal food gathering importance blah blah blah treaty says public area should be open for all blah blah blah blah and maybe just maybe the dipsticks trying to close it will back off.

Stacks of southern sailfish out there.....almost as bad as the dogs.
Surprised didn't catch any Kahawai.... usually get big donkey ones out there in winter

no no..nothing like that...more like my fellas used to eat your fellas so piss off hairy legs,we are the top dogs around here leave well enough alone or else.
another angle.......the fish heads etc...recently been in news as good initiative to help feed folks during food price crisis MAYBE if the local fellas using the ramp as SEEN to be doing local good...maybe it will swing in your favour???

Its too late for that....its been to court....its been to the high court, they have been told they dont own it....they have payed off council members who have sent it to the environment court....the new Mayor tried to get rid of it but was overriden by the councilors some of whom where elected on this issue and have turned coats as som many do once in power.
There is a bigger agenda at stake here.....If they close this watch the access to the coast vanish all over NZ...It will set the precident.

This is really a nice shot for a picture. If using wider angle will be better, but this is a fishing trip, not a photo shooting one.
Thanks for sharing.

Try the blind channel up towards the airport , we caught some horse fish this time of year , cold dirty water , one of those two prong white plastic lures trolled slow

No birds or work ups ..buggered if I know what they are eating but they were thick
