Absolutely !! I could just keep em all for myself but that would be greedy... Besides, people who aren't willing to contribute aren't true fishos (the kind who's hook you have to bait for them) and should stick to charter boats where the captain gets paid to look after them.

I have also organised a couple of West Coast (Raglan) trips during November and December (Mon 24th Nov. and Sat 13th Dec) which may have a few spots left (24th definetely does) so anyone who can take a Monday off and has this date free ? $100 per person incl. bait.

Would also be keen to get some other boats callsigns who are out and about so we can share info. on the day as to how different spots are going.

Hi  I would be into this idea as well. I have a Stabi 490 which I get out in as much as I can but it is usually by myself as I don't know that many fishers here. Parnell. Also it would be good to get out in the outer gulf in a bigger boat as the other half  is not keen on me going that far out by myself in mine. Count me in. It goes without saying that I would meet my share of costs.

i've tuesday off this week and am thinking about heading out for a fish. anyone interested in getting out for a rockfish or maybe grabbing a charter let me know. cheers john

Ethanchuk,

If a 1/2 - 1 days inshore sea fishing appeals let me know.  There is some good snapper (bream?) fishing at that time not far from Auckland. Small boat (15') stuff. Could organise something once you know your plans/movements. 

Central North Island river fishing can be good then, mostly rainbow's some browns. 4lb - 5lb typical. Not my scene but try a post on the fresh water thread as from what I've read here mostly salt water chat on this thread. I'm sure I could con a cousin of mine into a day off work in Taupo/Tongariro if it expanded his network of possible fishing adventures to include the beasties you've mentioned. Come to think of it, go there first, trout makes great bait.

Cheers,F.T.
