318is 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2006 Hah what a wicked Saturday morning. Went fishin in the kayak and came back with a hard case story, a new mate and lots of laughs looking back at the situation. I will just post a link as there are some big pictures. Not really modem friendly, but by the time you finish reading my little story, the pics should be up. Enjoy - I know I did ( after the adrenalin wore off ! ) http://homepages.woosh.co.nz/kiwif/snapper.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted March 19, 2006 Badass fish! Got a few Kahawai myself yesterday - really bloody big buggers, but only "keyring" sanpper. Sounds like an awesome adventure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
318is 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2006 Got a Kahawai last week too. Nice flesh. Sounds like you had a good time as well. Where do you normally fish? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 35 Report post Posted March 20, 2006 Bay of Islands. No "favourite spot" all over that area depending on where I think the fish are. I don't own a boat but Dad has a "bigger boat" that I use more or less at will (provided he hasn't planned to use it). Not a huge fisherman, but I like to catch a feed whenever i'm out. Kahawai is good but if you don't bleed them properly they are a very red fish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

318is 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2006 Yeah might send to a few fish mags. I'm not really into fishing like alot of people are. Just a 'part timer' and very new to it. Keen as to play more on the water thou. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

318is 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2006 Wouldn't go out even just kayaking without the PFD. The only thing I haven't got is a Net to land the biggies and a Gaf. Just haul them in by hand. I've made paddle leashes, anchor leashes, carry rope. Hell, in rough weather I lease myself to the boat. Being so calm on Saturday, I wasnt leahed to the boat. By god it would of made me feel alot more secure haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
