They know what they are on about and are doing all the right things IMHO (and are bloody cheap!)but as I say I havent seen one in person.

As a learner driver I would recommend a 30 or 40m net, You are almost certainly going to have a few balls ups learning when and where and when not to set your net and pulling in a 60m full of logs or weed or tangled into one big ball by a couple of 2m rays will put you off for life.
Also a shorter net allowes you to set in places you cannot legally set a full 60m net.
It can be very rewarding and hugely frustrating all at the same time.
I recommend it.

Thanks heaps.
Will be getting a 30-40 net tomorrow.

6 flounder not to be sneezed at.
Well done a good feed there.

Took @stingray out after work to wet some lines, I reinforced my position as a masterclass spiky dog fisherman.
We know the snaps are there....I have a theory tho....do I have another go to test the theory or bug out north to the gurnard/maybe snapper?

VC Man ....already been fishing this week...for the little see-thru buggers [aka white bait for the uninitiated] 2.79 kg....1.75kg ..... 200 gms....good for up here for sure....

Test the theory @veitnamcam. Nothing more satisfying than when one comes off.

This gets my vote too.

Better to test it than to never know. Those gurnard will still be there later

I'm not worried about you catching sharks as long as @stingray gets a snapper.

I just picked up my boat today from its annual service so its ready to go. Its the boys final soccer game/breakup tomorrow and reps on sun so this weekends buggered.

However that's it for a while for kids sport so I'm eyeing up next weekend as the start of my snapper chasing. Its pretty exciting I tell ya

I'm keen as for a snapper , hockey is done so now it's about hunting the fish with the rod and more so the spear ! Loved a big day out with VC ...he had two solid runs on his stray line , neither stuck ...VC keeps me keen and I love seeing a snapper rise from the murk....next wekend will see lines in the water along with my self back into a suit !! Cannot wait

Rough as guys this morning....

Squid

Ok so ive had to locate some old photos but here goes.

Myself and a few mates once found one of these washed up on a very remote Stewart Island beach. We decided to disect it...



I have still got the (now dried out) backbone shown in the picture below its almost a meter long.



And the beak which is very cool...





Needless to say we were not short of bait on that trip

It was definatly a giant squid, not a colossal and it had at least half of all its tenticalls missing. I like to think...bitten off by a sperm whale
