Well done mate, I was away friday arvo thru sat morning trying to get a deer as Metservice forcast again for fishing was poo and a mate offered to take me out (had been promising for ages but I was always otherwise occupied. Well done. When you get rig next time trunk them up ASAP and they will taste even better. We will catch you next time eh?

. Met service was still saying very poor boating conditions today . It actually was glassy , Trunk ( is that cutting the fins off ) . I'm very keen to come back up Next time I bring my boat . I don't think I've had bad fishing in your bay yet .

Trunk = remove all fins, Cut down behind head then back to the vent. Wash in sea and remove all blood.

Nice one, Nelsons legendary forecast accuracy

Sorry, I was busy .................................................. . sleeping in after friday night

Yes I had my head on backwards Saturday ( too many beersies Friday night ) . So I would have been no use apart from burley trail . Then tied up with family lunches etc another two beers and can't drive anywhere anymore . So didn't pick up cooker , no way back from fishing would have been ideal but had a mere with the longline 7 rig all spinning in opposite directions dumped in bottom of small dingy . That was two hrs to sort

Are you running clip on traces, got a spare set if your not they are only way to go! Bugger two hours of untangling , a sharp knife and re tied traces. have gone with a 32 Gm sinker clipped in the middle of the hook set to keep the belly out of the line , honestly not sure if it's helping but we have reduced tangles ( so far ) this year.

Cheers stingray . I borrowed it so didn't have the gear to remodel it , ha ha read the thread on your wee balls up with your mask . would be fair to say the swear words would have been flowing ?
