The guy I was taking out stuck petrol in his deisel bus ……wanted to get it drained out etc so couldnt go fishing ……I told him it wont hurt shit sittin in his yard , and its raining tomorrow …..nah I wanna get it done ……what a plonker ….
Mind you , it was too damn hot to do bugger all ….

Think I might just go try my luck live baiting on the bottom over at Taylors tomorrow morning , in the rain even

[Birdlingsflat]

I suspected as much you look far too healthy for a tea drinker..good on ya..pity about the breakoffs but not going empty handed home is good!Better than some in the last few days..me included..Good to meet you two..

[elmo22]

[fishforpot]

Dead at Taylors ……plenty of mullet…..but thats what you generally get fishing middle of the day …..a shame the boy wouldnt drag himself outta bed at 4am like I wanted …10.30am start was pushing it me thinks

Great work catching that thresher shark Greg. I’ve caught quite a few sevengillers over the years but never a thresher shark. That’s two just recently. Going to Kaikoura on the weekend for a bit of surfcasting and to check out the surfcasting contest.

Came back from our holiday in Picton today, went on a hunt for snapper and it turned out successful. Went down to the beach next to Karaka point as the point was crowded, arrived around 6pm last night. Left around 11pm after I lost one on the retrieve (was checking bait, suspect he hadn’t eaten it yet) and then got snagged and lost my trace.

Caught the first just on change of light, the other 2 after dark and all were landed around half an hour apart. All caught on a single 5/0 black magic KL recurve with the tail half of a pillie for bait, straylined without sinker. My 1st ever snapper!!

The first and biggest

The second

Didn’t bother taking a pic of the third was a little smaller than the second. There were also sh*tloads of piper right in close by the shore

Think these are Piper???

Heres a photo of the trio on the cutting board

The cutting board is 450mm wide to give an idea of size, my digital scales don’t work after they went for a swim the night before!

[mulletman]

Yea, there piper, great bait, and good fish, well done

[fisherman24]

[Birdlingsflat]

Nice snaps muddy..good on ya.Those piper are the best bait in the world for snapper..better than pillies…looking forward to the mugshot fisherman24 …
