A couple of pics from today.








Was a good day out but water colour wasn’t great and made it a bit challenging.

Yeah mate. Dropped one on a lure and another on a bait earlier in the day. Stoked to see it swim off strong too. Picked up a new tiagra 50w for our efforts

We have Orca in front of our place this morning
Mail Boat with about 60 Tourists on it getting a good sight
Think its 3 adults with calf's (maybe 2)
If they looking for Flounder - they wont stay to long

Usually when they are in close over here they are after stingrays !!

Another bloody good weekend with bloody good mates met threw this forum.

Invited early in the week to Stingrays spot it was a tough call weather to go fishing or hunting with a marginal forcast ........so of course I arrived Friday night to meet the penguin and the ray....the lads had done ok in the lull before the storm and we ate thing's and solved most of the worlds problems over a beer or 5.

Alarm off at 2 hours before light and she was blowing!...no howling !past the batch so thank f Joe made the call to go back to bed.
I fully expected to have a camp day sat but it dropped off enough and sneeking out round the coast was pretty good.

Up into cover a mussel harvester was doin its thing so we thought we would be pretty dumb not to try there .... she was still pretty gusty and windy and it took a few drifts and sets of the ankor to get a hold.....eventually we got a hold on the anchor and fished. ....me first on board with a pannie brim but nothing to skite about.....we found small micro jigs baited with tiny silvers of filleted pilchards on the assist hooks deadly......unfortunately they just didnt catch fish without those tiny bits of pilly on there.





Hey look over there!

Two at a time, pretty good for jigging. Nice eating snapper. Yumyum

Eventually the burly run out and we headed off to set my flounder net in a bay and grab a feed of mussles then headed back to the batch for the filleting and tea.
I cooked up a wee treat of veni back steak and Portobello mushrooms with a blue cheese sauce drizzled over all and Joe knocked up another batch of his legendary marinated mussels....beers drunk and problems solved it was off to bed and up at sparrows.
Off to pick up the net for a couple of nice big flounder and we were off to a good start.....right up untill the net ended up wrapped around the prop! bloody nets.
While I cut that off a mate came over for a yarn.....he hadnt done very well yesterday with only one spotty and we all headed off into the wild blue yonder.



Jigged for kings at the pass but nothing doing there.



Then back down the coast to set a hookline and drop Joe on his secret rock he had been saving for forum trip and @R93....see ya in half an hour he said as he flopped over the side and bugger me he was back up in 5 min saying "na its shit mate" but his catch bag full of crays said otherwise! Big smiles all round. I cheekily said " That wasn't half an hour get back down there and find me some oysters! "



Hookline pulled for some nice snapper and gurnard with one big fella on there.



Chilly bin full, it was time to head for home with a light following sea. All in all a bloody good morning



Thanks again Joe. Bloody awesome.
