Hi Barrie
I'm still finding my way around all these message boxes, I reckon I will be retired before I read them all
The August trip in on the MV X leaving Pine Harbour 6am I have about four places left on this trip, hope you can make it and some of our other readers here.
Grounded, how can you learn if u dont get the chance. Any good skipper will give you the run down before you leave. My run down is pretty simple.- the skip doesnt pull the pick, his place is at the helm during anchor up and anchor down. Not been lazy here, its a matter of common sense. The other rule is- when the skip asks you to do something he has a reason. (if he knows his stuff) Do it. Remember the name of the game is a great day out , making friends and getting a good feed. The only way for that to happen is safety first Not hard really. Oh, one more thing-no skipper likes a tight arse. boats arent cheap to run or care for.
Great idea guys--I'm a starter when I get the time.
This sounds amazing. Great way to meet others. Being fairly new to the country and a house husband it's a superb chance for people like me to make new friends.
Don't know about what/how on a boat but I have a surf rod. If anyone fancies some company at weekends.
I know very little (just started), if you don't mind me dragging along.
Cheers all, how pleased am I that I found thissite today!!
Welcome alwaysdo.
Fishful I'm currently in South Auckland. But I'll drive pretty miuch anywhere for the fishing.
I shall keep an eye on Bender, I don't want him tainting my image!!!!
alwaysdo, you are a wise man if you have seen that already. A quicks couple of beers art Swashbucklers (Westhaven) is a good starting point. Cheers, F.T.
a very very very good idea..
at last this would give me the chance to go out on a boat more often.. and go after my 1st snapper.
anybody looking for a crew on weekend, just pm me.. keen to share cost and even give the skipper a decent massage (hahahaha)...
Welcom Wizard. The opportunity to get out with people from here will come your way - keep your eye out and let people know when you're going.
We also have quite a few informal meetings over beers at various locations. Watch the posts and you'll catch up with times and places.
Oh yes, at these meetings the newest forum member has to buy all the beer all night
I am keen to go out with anyone who launches out east way, like Halfmoon Bay.
MSN me at [email protected] or 021 1250602.
