Nice work​ mate how do you catch them? We used to make water proof spotlights and spear them.

With a net mate,I have tried spotlighting this estuary but it is not very suited, current is too fast and water too dirty to see them most of the time....there is a couple of other estuarys fairly close by that spear alright tho I must get out for another go at one of those.

She's a fickle mistress ol mother nature.
Out for a flounder this morning..."my" spot was already taken so i set close by and end result was a net wrapped up from end to end. One ray and one flounder both realeased
As always what a difference a day can make

So true that statement VC. Fishing is the one thing that illustrates that to me the most.

I have a mate whos pretty good at getting those rays outa nets. He just grabs them by the eye sockets and methodically untangles them always gives me the hebe geebies !!

Well done on the day before's catch there's some nice size ones in there.

Oh yea just when you think you have everything sussed you get the curve ball...its what keeps you going out.
I used to bring 1000-1200mm wide rays into the 10 footer regularly either in tbe net or line caught.
I dont do that anymore after hearing @stingrays story a few times.

Reminds me of one of the few times I have got @mikee out in my boats, leaky 40year old riveted 10ft parkercraft 3-4 mile off off rabbit island in a very light swell and I catch a shark, forget what species but it was big enough for mike to say "dont bring that bloody thing in here!" or words to that effect, threw skillfull angling I manged to drop it near the boat only for Mikee to catch it two mins later...."its your problem now mate!"

For some reason @mikee doesnt come fishing with me anymore despite many invites.

Its not the company its really the fact i struggle to get my shit together most of the time.

Spending a couple of days at Lake Tarawera for the school holidays. I haven't been trout fishing for probably 20 years. Took my wife and two boys out on a borrowed boat for an evening jigging (didn't know you could do the for trout??) and bugger me if the wife didn't catch one on her fist drop!! Nice 450mm fish to boot. Wife got all remorseful and wanted to throw it back ......... told her she could throw the next one back. She caught the only fish.

Bloody good life, hunting yesterday, fishing Today. A good eater Kingi.

Yesterday. Bloody rays have destroyed my net the last two times.

Not really my type those ones @Pengy. Prefer a groper to flounder.
