I had a great morning with you guys, pleased we found some fish.

   

Heads up for any looking a swoffing bargain - found these Black magic teaser flies selling for 5 for $5.95. Reckon they'd be a useful pattern for kahawai as small enough to cover whitebait /anchovies and on quite decent hooks. Only issue would be the kirbed bend, but sure some persuasion with a pair of pliers could set them straight.

Good going Adam and Wolfie  I've been sitting here at 5am thinking about going out, but we still have easterlies and waves of drizzly rain are washing over the hill . It's tough being in the Bay of Islands in a La Nina weather year! Still, it's encouraging a few holidaymakers to go home . Fishing should be good when the weather finally lets me out. Looks like Wednesday or Thursday now by the weather map.

Johan, your weather looks stunning. I ventured out into a wall of drizzle in the hope that the wind would die and the drizzle would ease. Unfortunately both increased in intensity, and the water was brown even on the incoming tide. I went home cold and wet. Enjoy your lovely weather while you've got it.

^wot they said. I reckon I'm on their database as clutziest angler in the world. All returned safe and fixed after a remarkably small fee paid.

Ah bugger to hear about the rod Kevin.  Yea as the others said, they have great backup, so I'm sure you will be back in action soon! 

1. Never wear shoes while SWF'ing from the boat. Line will always catch under a shoe esp when you don't need it to, and you wont know until its too late. (First thing I say to anyone fishing from my boat is 'shoes off').

Nice king again. Yeah I am trying to avoid our king spot now after having a monopoly for a few good years. Plenty of other good king spots but livies are not so handy.

You're on a roll with all those kings!
