Well Richard. I looked to the East,then looked to the West where the dark winds roar,and decided on the bright side of the road. Those huge tides & swift currents in The manukau right now are a bit daunting. Will wait to they get a bit smaller and then gurnard time.
Was nice out East. Motored out past the ancient volcano,the low cloud lifted,and the sun shone on a still and glassy sea.
Over a low Easterly swell with flocks of shearwaters flying in the same direction,keeping pace with the boat. At one with nature. Great feeling. Found a workup of sorts ,hooked a nice Kahawai on the little grim reaper,dived and leapt all over the sea. And then in search of snaps .
Great to be away from neon humming,telephone ringing,found my quiet place and was a great day.
Was going to have a word to those Snaps ,but they were deceased and becoming fillets. Dont think they would have understood.
Interesting what Snapper eat. Assume they would have been last seasons spawn,just a few months old.
Always something new to learn or see out there,always that something that makes it all so interesting.
