Might have to take you up on that dunnit.

I nipped down today for a look, nothing about!

1/4 cup for a day isn't my idea of 'baiting so the gear remains in the shed

Bring on the new moon!

Fishmad ... sorry to hear about the truck and I am glad your wive was not hurt. That said, a smart, devious man would know how to turn this misfortune to his advantage and have many, many nag-free fishing trips.

If you need lessons, PM Fishful Thinking. He's our resident expert in spousal disinformation.

Had whitebait for lunch on friday. Dang they're tasty things. That and the leventy leven bottles of savvy blanc.

Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water.

the scene: 6am tarawera river...glassy calm....incoming tide....two intrepid men staring intently into the river vainly searching for white gold.

well vainly searching was about it for me but i did have the pleasure of sharing one of my spots with "uncle" (the scooper trooper)

im afraid to say i was out shone by this man from tauranga,who ended up with only a taste but was a taste more than i got.

hope you had a good morning uncle.....was great to meet you at last!

Aye, it was good morning dunnit.

Many thanks for sharing one of your "secret" spots. ( & for the cookies kindly supplied by your wife)

Not much to show for our efforts but I'll manage to stretch that lot out to a few fritters.

Aunty stayed in bed so she's not gettin' any

I had a chat to one of the guys on the other side before driving home.

They didn't get any either so it wasn't our fault!

Great to meet another forum member & I shall return

Below is a pic of dunnit, ready for action.

I loaned him my forum beanie, just for the occasion.
