![]() Me and SWMBO went out from OBC Tuesday 7:00am Last time on the water was back in May, so after reading lots of really positive reports (on other publications/sites) we were anticipating a productive day. Among the various spots we stopped at and drifted: Power Station, Racecourse, Ruakaka river mouth, 3 mile reef, Guano Island and the harbour around Parua Bay The outcome? Wife got a single nice gurnard and a single throwback snap. ME! not even a noticeable bite.. Normally we fish in the harbour during summer months and have generally always picked up a nice feed of pannies. After our trip we refilled our reliable but thirsty Yammie 115 2 stroke. $94.00 Thats just a wee bit too rich for our old pensioner nest egg LOL. Next couple of trips will be back in the harbour methinks. However, despite my snivelling about the cost (I really am a Scot originally from Glasgow ![]() ![]() Cheers Folks. PS I just saw that Catchelot has sadly passed away. I met him once and Bazza and NZ Turtle back in Dec 2018 when he was trying to jack up more of a social aspect to the Whangarei section. I'm grateful for his advice. A sad loss indeed. RIP Al. |
