Well... went to Baywater this morning for a good quick fish off the wharf with some newbie mates. First guy to kick us off caught a baby shark... of all things... so we quickly dehooked it and let it off. My personal best this morning was a 30cm snapper... which right now is becoming dinner buwhahahhah

Repoman , that is a nice fish , though my first time fishing in NZ since I've been here for 3.5years I got lucky and hooked me 2 biggies and some snapper , I call it beginners luck as we were 3 on the boat and it took one of he crew about 5hrs to land his first size fish LOL
I really enjoyed fishing in South Africa , but since I got here , haven't really got any gear , sorta focused on spearing at the moment... though the water viz is absolutely crap at this stage of the season change , I might have to convert to rock or surf casting Smile
