OK, here is the PLAN.
Thursday 17th - I'll be at the Whakatane Game Club & have some dinner around 6.15pm. Off to the Coastguard building around 7.15pm. Make a start on the training at 7.30pm. This off-water clinic is important if you want to learn knots etc so please get there before 7.30pm. Please have your $80 cash ready for the PR bobbin & assist components, $40 if you don't need the PR bobbin. Bring your tackle to this clinic.
We should finish around 9.30pm enough for a night cap then hit the bunks aboard Pursuit.
Depart wharf Friday 18th early for White/Volkners. Whole day spent jigging & coaching techniques etc. After a couple drifts I'm sure you will all be sorted out and you'll enjoy the rest of the day.
The coaches are myself, Jimijig and Ginga. Jimi needs no introduction to you but Ginga is the dark horse who has logged a few offshore trips with me at the 3 Kings (with jimi) and White whilst in the company of the famous Yoichi Mogi - the man who re-invented jigging as we know it. Ginga has just taken delivery of a new 7m charter boat and intends specialising in jigging and soft plastics and is based in Tauranga. Collectively, we possess the experience and wisedom that will kick start you all into the dark arts of jigging. So keep your minds open to different ideas and techniques, the day on the water will put you to the test. If the Kingies play ball, then I'm sure you will all enjoy the experience.
I'll have a few Zest prizes to give away near the day's end so be sharp as you may be the lucky jigger.
N.B. all Kingies will be released after the obligatory photos.
