Yeah if that winds plays ball a bit better than lately. It'd be nice to overnight out at Barrier on Saturday night, pull plastic early Sunday, drop the braided line down deep, troll back. Sunday is looking like the best possibility for trolling at the moment.
If too windy - land based stuff like riding the dirt bike, BBQ'd Cray & Marlin & Scallops...watching that weather..

I took one look at the long range forecast and my plans changed from going out wide in the elusive search for the first ever winter marlin, to lighting the fire and spending the weekend in front of it on a bearskin rug with Scarlett Johansen.  ------------- Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water. |

Wetspot will have the outriggers set, canon Downrigger setup, all gear on board and laying lures to see how they are performing behind the new rig, Pratice Practice, more practice and a snapper fish in between. So if you see some weirdo out the back of the Ahahas trolling plastics, THAT WILL BE ME ------------- http://www.blackbillsportfishing.co.nz/" rel="nofollow">

Bender  , I was talking to Phantom about Anchorite while being towed in by the Coastguard  yesterday and thats a plan and a 1/2 subject to suitable conditions. Are you suggesting that they have been known to show up there at this time of the year ? because that would be a nice run straight out ?------------- http://www.blackbillsportfishing.co.nz/" rel="nofollow">

Inshore fishings pretty slow up here at the moment aye, plenty of bluenose and puka round the pins though. Judging by the forecast the only thing I can be bothered fishing for this weekend is a bottle of wild turkey! ------------- out there doing it or STFU |

If anyone is thinking about diving Anchorite over the weekend id give it a very wide berth eh, when you have some say they where in a 6 mtr boat and she was bigger than the boat "White" I for one wouldn't be jumping in the water around there, the back of Waiheke or the inner thames Fark that
lol

wanna job Adam??.... ....good work.suggestion: before flattening the layers/saving as JPEG, select the layer(s) that make up the composite and -> IMAGE -> ADJUSTMENTS and play around with the COLOUR BALANCE / BRIGHTNESS+CONTRAST / HUE+SATURATION settings. this will allow you to in most cases get a good/reasonable match up for tone and colours of your background image.....oh this is assuming Photoshop is your poison? |
