clutch Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hey Guys, since the weather has been crap (windy) for the last week, I seized the opportunity to venture out after work today after such a beautiful morning The wind did pick up and became quite brisk..... Nothing big was caught........I spent 2 hours out there and came back when my bag of baby squid was gone Took home 7 snapper.....all pretty small and now in my Aunt and Uncles fridge/freezer for upcoming meals As I was leaving the beach this nice tinnie was being pulled out.....now that would suit me And I should always end with a pic of Rangitoto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inked Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 not sure where Waitemata is, but it looks very similar to where my dad grew up ( Paraparaumu). As a kid he used to drive the boat clubs tractor on the beach to help launch and retrieve boats. My grandparents used to fish kapiti regularly smashing big some monster fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) not sure where Waitemata is, but it looks very similar to where my dad grew up ( Paraparaumu). As a kid he used to drive the boat clubs tractor on the beach to help launch and retrieve boats. My grandparents used to fish kapiti regularly smashing big some monster fish Inked the Waitemata (Sparkling Water) is Aucklands harbour. and for all of you that tractor is the boating clubs tractor. They have a couple of them and if you are a member of the club you have access to the tractors kept in sheds. we have a North Harbour Sea Rescue boat stationed here and that tractor is used to launch it. It has been elevated to be able to launch any tide and in any weather........just keep driving back till shes floating Having said that; in an emergency you could probably drive in forwards and have it float off the back Edited March 11, 2006 by clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madsmc Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Nice bag clutch, well done mate. Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hey Clutch, I know you said they are all small but what do you consider small. In Sydney/Bondi a territory of New Zealand they could be considered big. It looks as if they are all bigger than pan size. Any way thats a nice catch Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
