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.

Had whitebait for lunch on friday. Dang they're tasty things. That and the leventy leven bottles of savvy blanc.
HELLO THERE BENDER,TAKEN YOUR ADVICE & THE WIFES MISFORTUNE.
HEADING TO TURANGI THIS WEEKEND FOR A CAST OR TWO.WILL WAIT LATER ON IN THE MONTH, BEFORE I GET MY HOLEY WHITEBAIT NET, WET FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON!!
~~~~~~~~FISH HAVE TAILS,AND THEY USE THEM~~~~~~~~~
where's all the bait gone?
dead as a dodo here today.......give it a week off and look what happens
another day tomorrow.
WENT OUT FINALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY.HAD A POKE AROUND IN MY LITTLT LOCAL STREAM.PICKED UP A NICE LITTLE FEED, WEIGHING IN AT 1lb 12oz.
HOW IS YOUR SEASON GOING, RUNNING,
SO FAR DUNNIT?
GOOD LUCK OVER THE NEXT MOON PHASE?
a few starting to show. 1.5kgs today hope they are still running when uncle comes for a sortie tomorrow.(secret location)
nice feed fishmad...would have gone down nice with a cheeky little reisling or chardonay
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.
