A Day Out Fishing on
Spellbound   Quite dark over
the anchorage this morning as we left Beez.
 Pulling out of the berth at just after
seven ‘Q’ dock and the morning mist.
   Bear watching as
we slowly wend our way. Out of the five knot zone Grimme notched the speed up. The sun trying to
wake up.
   First outing of the new
Croc boots.
 Morning mist over Paihia..............
 .............and Kerikeri as we pass by.
  The full moon.
The sun came out hot and a very welcome
sight.
 Another
competitor ????
 Grimme found us a nice
spot.
   Dodgy looking
bait that was used as an attracter draped off the back.
   Within minutes we all had bent rods and fish to prove
it.
 Bear snags one
of todays target fish.
 By half past ten quite
a collection.
  Dave with a
snapper, at the right angle – a
monster.
 Competitive
banter.
  Snapper fileting, lots for us all to take home for supper. The spoils food for the crabs later.
  After a good day it was time to begin cleaning. Peter and Dave discuss
the ‘ones that got away’ over a beer.
  Meanwhile Grimme upstairs made
some wake.
 We slowed down on approach
and enjoyed the Sunday sailors.
   While the boys did more
cleaning, I went next door to see a ‘For Sale’ at NZ$625,000– Lady Arabella, owned by Dame Kiri. Coming on.
 The three
kahawai, todays competition fish, washed and ready to weigh. Bears in the
middle.
   Official weigh in.
Logging in. Grimme presented to himself as he
pipped Bear by an ounce or two.
ALL IN ALL A GREAT DAYS
