Hehe good to see that received in the way it was intended. Yes I did go deer shooting but my son Arron carried the rifle. We saw 13 and he took one shot, his first at anything other than a target. He missed a sitter at 70m but good fun. On the water at 9.30 to 42m, first drop a little 35cm snapper on the baku baku. It took another 30 minutes to catch the next two. We went to 50m. another two or three in the bin and a big tope. No great whites today. Another 30mins and out to blue water at 60m. The fish were bigger. They were very shy on the bite and only smallish. When we hooked one, typically all 3 of us would hook up.
Oh yeah I left my tackle box at home. The skipper left his ph in the suv and our fishfinder/chartplotter didn't work. We figured the depth using rainbow braid.
30 snapper, 3 gurnard and one shark on a stunning day with no discernible swell and no chop. One of those stunning days.
Now I'm sitting down having a Len Brown or four and my wife is enjoying a wine with her friend and Arron is cooking up some whole snapper for our dinner. He's up again at 4.30 to carry the rifle for my mate. I'm having a sleep in.
Thanks everyone for the kind comments. It takes a special kind of guy to live this life
