Yes no bumps, obviously Kiwi snapper that headed north....Lol Me and a couple of mates flew up to Norfolk for a weekend with the hopes of catching some snapps and kings but the weather was cold and stormy, finally got out on a boat one day with a Kiwi charter guy..Ken someone if I remember correctly....trumpeter and a bunch of granddaddy hapuka We took land based gear for off the rocks but there really is hardly anywhere to access rocks? Those are nice snapper tho

Oh my,, that is ugly

He is a cheeky character but now the press has started to over dramatise the whole danger scenerio of a playful if cheeky dolphin http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article....jectid=10614290

Hi guys and gals ...just read this in our daily and thought it may be worth posting http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article....jectid=10611826

Best of luck mate...I hope all went well I often get sciatica too.......not good and just cant sleep. Hope you get everything sorted and are back fishing soon!

Just recently purchased this 4.6 metre tinny I'm in love again...Lol. Just a nice size for me as I usually fish alone as a shiftworker

A great Snapper...and great info!

I drive by one everyday on the way to work called..."Prawn Star".......and not sure if it was this forum or another someone had a Kayak (needing a fair bit of effort to paddle apparently).. called..." Far Canal "....Get it?....I always remembered that name

Had it for years.......in stereo of course and am sure it was from years of using a chainsaw usually without muffs. I just put up with it........its always there Try to have a few sleeping pills before bed....1: 2: 3: I find it helps

Man, you guys are good Lokks like there is also....John (Marion) Wayne, Vladimir Putin and George W. Bush

Some great shots there Pete

Was up in Pahi last week on the northern reaches of the Kaipara harbour at their annual regatta. These local kids spent all day jumping off the wharf into the warm if somewhat cloudy water...a lot of current in the Kaipara. I took this shot of them jumping using my old digital with auto focus which is really annoying as it takes about a second to focus...so had to pre-focus and tell them to jump!.........anyhow I thought it came out great and thought I would share it. My middle son and I spent quite a bit off time ourselves jumping off and floating around to the steps......alot of fun for an old guy!

Recently spent 6 days on a launch from Auckland city to the Bay of Islands for some R&R and a bit of fishing. On the way up we went over to the Poor Knights a popular dive site here in NZ and had a look inside the Rikoriko cave. It can easily handle a few large boats like the 38 fter we were on but as we hadnt set our sonar correctly it was giving us some funny readings so we took the small inflatable instead.

What is boat rego? ......sometimes its gootd to be the backward little nation to your right. and we still dont need a boat or fishing license......for now anyways. I cant ever see us having a fishing license as Kiwi's consider this a god given right but the damn Jetskis and the trouble they cause could make registering a reality, tho I hope not

You crack me up Chris.. ..............

..and didnt they name Slater player of the tournament or something???!!!

I thought it was a pretty good game I didnt think that Lockyer was very gracious in defeat however........a quick congrats to the Kiwis then gone A good result for Rugby League tho

I thought you might find this of interest...... http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/story....jectid=10528592 some pay thouands to land one

Look at this bugger caught out of a boat on bait at Whangarei

We have heaps over here.....some of you original posters will remember JD who came over to NZ and caught 4 I think LOL they sure are a pretty fish

We would refer to prices like that as the good old days over here Regular fuel is $1.85 ltr in NZ now.....they say our food prices are up 28% over a year ago...somethings gotta give

Thanks Mrs FM, Penguin and Chopper.......Had a great day..........one of the ladies at work surprisedme with a couple of chocolate cakes which really made my day! It really was a nice gesture and really appreciated.......especially by my tummy
