Nice to see the snaps moving up the there harbour Dave, and bait fish there too, good stuff once the water warms a bit it will be full on mate...Clap

My neighbours did good at Peach cove yesterday evening upon sunset, on baits, got a good haul of snapper, in fact were throwing them back as the bin was full... so they bought home a good feed and stopped well before their limit.
 
Good on them for limiting their catch eh?Clap

I came down from Whangarei about 3 months ago and was given a replacement axle complete, this was due to that both wheel bearings had failed.
I have just had another wheel bearing fail.....with damage to my boat & trailer being towed off the beach by a towing company.
The only thing that hasn't collapsed on the trailer since the 11 months I have had it, is the main structure.
On return back to Whangarei after buying the trailer we hit a small pot hole one mud guard bounced off, I realized there was not enough space between the wheel and the guard & put a spacer to solve the problem.
A pin on the winch had came loss on the journey back.
The lcd lights failed after 4 months, which I replaced.
& now with the 3rd wheel bearing gone on me & two tow truck cost, would you like this lemon back for one which is more reliable?
Its not about the size of your boat! "But how you use it

yeah you were spot on it seems..

the thing is its not funny..  although I get your point it drives me insane how little people seems to care about it.

I remember the mussels around Ngahau Bay once upon a time, oceans of them. My old man was fishing from the rocks there one day he saw 30 guys coming and going along the beach gathering for what looked like a hui over a few hours..  when I went back to check it out a few weeks later there wasn't a mussel to be found.
Totally stripped, 20 years later it is still not even close to what it once was. There were literally thousands of massive mussels...  now you'd be lucky to find a few to fill your dinner bowl.

If I see dudes doing that today I wont hesitate to report them to coastguard or even police.

anyway, sorry about the rant.

back to the fishing lads, sorry I have nothing to report guys the fishing in sweden is ****, but look after the coastline aye fellas?

No luck sorry Dave. Old friend in Tauranga already has dibs on it and I will probably be taking the HDS10 back out if (yeah right) I upgrade the boat so will want to re-install old one.
