Good to see you getting out mate. Can't believe you haven't wet a line since us out chasing yft.
Wow, taking a wave over the bow will get the adrenalin going. Hope it's not to long between drinks next time!
Cheers scratchie!!!
Great report hank. What a shame the fishing gods didn't shine. Earthquake??? I think there might be some merit in that. Their must have been one at broughton island last week too! Lol
Sounds like you had a great trip anyway. Such a beautiful place NZ!
Cheers scratchie!!!
John, I've really enjoyed reading your reports. Please don't take this the wrong way but I would love to get you into some line peeling action. Next time your over this way, look me up and I'm sure I can add to your species list!
Cheers Scratchie!!!
There looks like a few good spots to target bass in there. Unlucky on the beast but he's always there for next time you feel like a walk. Great scenery.
Cheers scratchie!!!
Holy smokes hank! I was waiting for this big long report and possible raider records! Nothing?? Nadda? Zero? Zilch? That's definately hard to swallow. That's means you have to go back! Try catching up with them boys from "big angry fish"
Sorry to hear your woes!
Cheers scratchie!!!
You should always have mono backing on a braided spool anyway. If you get a decent fish and your braid doesn't have the right tension, all your braid could start spinning on the reel and your going nowhere. All my braided reels have some mono backing!
Cheers scratchie!!!
Good stuff as always yowie!! Don't know why you put a 15gram metal on you should have just thrown out the empty gang hook again and seen if you come up trumps. I'm sick of this nor easter too, it ruins my 2 spots within walking distance
Cheers scratchie!!!
Awesome report mate. Good to see you and dean killing it. That lake is not too far from my house! Might have to wander over and throw a few!
How did your fly rod go???
Cheers scratchie!!!
There must have been something in the water over the weekend Steve. I had the same problem.
At least it was nice to be on the water. Btw, you rivaled my post for the longest in raider history! Lol. Check out my miserable fail on my post
Cheers scratchie!!!
The key is to leave early and get back early! I don't want to even get into the amount of dumb ass things I've seen at a boat ramp. ( I live in the tourist area port Stephens)
All we can do, is lead by example!
Cheers scratchie!!!
