    Thursday 23 of January

    Thursday the 23 of January will be a massive tide in Nelson a monumental high of 4.6 meters a massive low of 0.5 meters this will create a chance for very short people to take the deep end of the drag!

    It will see massive stingrays hunt deeper water , it will expose cockle beds never seen by hungry clam hunters for the last 5 years …ladies , gentlemen, pick your spot, one evening …one chance ..

    I will be selecting a team of only the loudest , hungryist, ratbaggist , knife wielding fishermen.

    If you would like to attend…..

    Apply below!

    The selection will be tough….fitting into a wetsuit, abilities like

    clearing a ray out of the net are certainly going to get you on the team,
    being able to clear a net
    survive knee deep mud
    talk absolute bollocks
    gut fish
    Identify takers from chuckers
    Not cut holes in the drag
    Not let legal size fish go
    Not fall in
    Not yell at the dogs (to much)

    Turn up on time …( blaming traffic is not acceptable).

    If you think your strong enough , cunning enough, tall enough ( yes we are bringing a tape measure) and absolutely full of yarns and bullshit or have built a trolley to cart all the bloody gear!

    Apply below …

    only the best will be chosen…( all welcome )

    @Joe Schmo , taking the top spinning lures out there in the fall March / April …there is nothing I’d like to do more than catch a flounder on a lure …( shut up @Shearer)

    Will add prawns to the mix …I’m sure this will bring on a bite …it’s a neat spot …will save you a spot in the 2024 flounder hunt

    I have to go back to work on the 23rd of January and I can assure you it is a Monday...Not sure of the reception I would get if I turn up on Thursday but I suspect it would not be great....
