Youre quite right Penguin, and it was a great temp

Thats the easiest way

Hey there Raiders , just back from a week up North where I caught my Kingy from a Dinghy last year, but alas the swells bought on by an Easterly were to big to get my tinnie out so had to do with a little Rock fishing.....caught a few snapper but nothing to post about. Went exploring around the rocks and came upon this beautiful little rock pool that I thought I share a pic with you all

Hopefully without affending any of the fine Asians who visit this site........if it says anything like "is a delicacy in Japan"..or "a favourite of the Chinese"........That pretty much tells me that there is NO way I will like it My tummy is finely tuned to a meat pie and chips

Great stuff Guys Your contribution to this site IS recognised

I hope thats a joke about my favourite snapper bait!

Guys I was on a close West Coast beach last weekend and saw heaps of these jellyfish. I imagine that they are Blue Bottles......is that correct? I always thought they were common in Australia but our west coast beaches have a heap of them

That is one GREAT Salmon. Nice catch

Thats great, now how do we get rid of the French.......just seems plain wrong that they have ANY territorial waters down here

Her injuries were quite horrific, hopefully just a freak accident that wont happen again heres a report of her injuries from the NZ Herald Sunday December 31, 2006 By Jared Savage The woman crushed by a dolphin in a freak boating accident was able to breathe by herself for the first time yesterday - but family and friends fear she faces a long road to recovery. Kelly James, 27, is still in intensive care in Auckland City Hospital nearly a week after a 300kg bottle-nose dolphin leapt out of the water and landed on top of her while she was cruising in a boat off the Coromandel. The Pukekohe woman had two heart-attacks as the Westpac Helicopter rushed her to Auckland on Tuesday but more details of her horrific injuries were revealed yesterday. Her injuries include: bruising to the brain fractured vertebrae, every rib broken, pelvis cracked in four places, both lungs collapsed, lacerated liver and facial injuries.

Wow, there are some GREAT photos there

I do the same on my 9.9 Dave although I use a bigger rubbish bin and I like the expelled water to exit outside the bin.......like you say you keep the Esky topped up with fresh water. I run it till the fuel runs dry

SAME.....Good Luck with it

Gee , it looks like livin so close to us (NZ) is starting to rub off What a tremendous effort fom ALL of you and Wattos. What a heartwarming story this has turned into...........and just before Xmas. Merry Chistmas to ALL of you and may you catch the one you've been fishin for

G'day Stallo, I wish I could help you Mate but I've never been to the South Island. You know NZ is a huge place Up in the Marlborough sounds (top of the Sth Island) you still get Snapper and heaps of Blue Cod. Further South I think you'll just get heaps.....I mean heaps of Bluecod.It is from the West Coast of the Sth Island where they get those Massive Bluefin Tunas too Sorry I dont know much more

and I agree, you're a wise woman Lyn

So you're saying that its all in the head

Remember this post.... http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/inde...?showtopic=8878 fortunately I dont get seasick but a lot of people say this one works

That certainly is an outstanding accomplishment ........Congratulations Flattieman

Shallow water ??? In my tinnie.......(dinghy) I'm lucky if I get 10 Metres deep Great to see you posting Jani, I look forward to more of you conquests I saw you Halibut post and it reminded me of Canada ( where I lived for 20 years)

Great fish Brett with beautiful colour

Hey ER heres a good charter in the Bay of Islands http://www.earlgreyfishing.co.nz/?do=home for Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf go to the fishing.net site that Roberta linked for you and click on Charters and guides in the left margin..........Charter Connection is pretty good I hear Any other info you require I'd be happy to help

I guess this is where it helps to have a spare spool..........I've heard people fill the spare spool up backwards with the braid first and then add the backing to just the right amount.....then transfer it back to your other spool and it should be spot on...........something like that aye?

Hey there Raiders, pinched from that NZ site I'm sure a few of you eavesdrop on ...a report of a bunch of guys doing a charter out of Whakatane (3 hours south of Auckland on the East Coast) . Due to the overwhelming popularity of these fantastic sport fish I thought I post a couple of pics that may have you thinking about a fishing trip on this side of the ditch someday Edit.....I guess I should mention that they are indeed Kingfish for those that arent sure

Looks like a great time was had by all..............I'll make one of these one day And biy that is one fine looking rod Rohit Its great to see a deserving fish win it
