John’s Boat – Waipu Coast (opposite golf course)

Location: Out from Marsden Point, turn right… opposite the golf course.

6am early start on Johns boat, tried a couple of spots the fish werent really biting but John managed to land beuty 55cm Snapper and I caught my first ever Gurnard.

It was only ever was going to be a short fishing trip because we were leaving to go home that day. John owns one of my favourite fishing boats, a Surtees Game Fisher 6m. He gave me an exciting trip home by tapping it out at 30 knots.

John’s Boat – Whangarei Heads Crays & Scallops

Crayfish Location: Out of whangarei heads, turn left
Scollops Location: Inner Harbour

We went out for the day to hunt and gather.  Fish werent really biting,  fish wise I only caught one annoying Rock Cod. But as you can see Dad and John got us a good feed of Crayfish and Scollops.
