I did catch some snapps though, for a couple of local pensioners up the road, and a kahawai for sashimi, it's my favorite. There were no gurnard, but there were no jet skiers either, bring on winter:) <div dir="ltr" -setdir="false" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> |

I enjoy casting soft baits more than jiggling coin drops, soft baiting with really light gear feels like angling, but the fish know best, so a yellow coin drop it is. |

Somewhat overkill but is a Viking… near impossible to tip, not so easy to right maybe. But he is a bit overkill, but hey is my brother so his safety is everything for me. |

I could or would usually make some comment about Ok paddlers being better than Viking guys…but entirely inappropriate in circumstances. Muppet would fry me if still on here. |
