How the hell is everyone???

Haven't been out for a while but spent some time pulling plastic off Kapiti after the elusive Marlin last summer with my daughter.

If your ever up that way, Kapiti,Foxton,Tangimoana kepp an eye out for the old black pearl charter boat from down your way, we bought it off Matt quite a few haircuts ago now, shes called Directorship but everything else is the same so come say hello if you see us.

All the best fellas and tight lines.

I managed to get out for my first fish in a long time. Been unable to due to medical reasons, but nothing an operation and a long recovery couldn’t help with.

Got invited onto a charter, which was a good test for the body, which coped well. Was stoked to get into some Tiks and get the urge to get back into getting out more often. Hauled on board where Tiks, Puka, Tope, snapper, Trev, Gem fish and the usual throw backs.

Was soooo good to get out, now thinking I need another boat in the driveway. 

Took the missus and son out for a 'relaxing' evening fish/dinner out west last night, didnt start promising with wind 12-15knts, gas bottle running out halfway thru cooking chicken nibbles and low tide scheduled for 7pm but still running like a freight train.  Despite not being able to get berley down (80m with tide) the fishing was pretty steady albeit with 26oz sinkers, water temp surprised me a bit with 16degrees despite the steady southerlys we've been enjoying, efforts resulted in a good bag of 45-50cm teri and 50-70cm snapper, wind dropped once tide eased approx 8:30pm so a nice ride home and the bonus of untouched berley for next time

Hi All - I have been away from forum for a few years, good to see a few old names pop up again Spaz and Davo.

Was looking in as I had a google alert re password compromise....so after changing said PW had a quick sqiz.

Been light for me recently, although got a good haul of pannies from north of kapiti a few weeks when wind died down for a change.

need more fishing ...and need to find a good keen fisho in the Mana Porirua/Plim area who can go at short notice.

Still have the Surtees 6.1 HT but looks like I need a new OB mechanic as they all seem to be leaving the game.

About three weeks into owning the Mac420 and we have been gaining boating proficiency and have been donating a lot of tackle to the sea over the last while.

When we arrived at Seaview around 0830 this morn there were lots of trailers, the harbour was calm and we headed out to South Coast (note to self, trail boat to Moa Point next time).  In-shore we caught lots of undersize Blue Cod and some Perch.
