August

Well, not much to say really. I haven’t been able to catch anything this month. The Kahawai seem to have disappeared for some reason. We’ve had some real crap weather here in the HB and the seas have been muddy … Continue reading →

June. Frosty mornings, crisp clear days ( sometimes ) and rough dirty seas (not always) We’ve had a lot of rain in HB lately, and anywhere within a few km of a river mouth is filthy muddy water. However, 45 … Continue reading →
