Date/Time of Capture: Friday 3rd July 2009 – 1200pm
Location of Capture: The marker post, Narrow Neck Beach.
Type of Lure/Bait used: Pillchard
Comments: Caught within the first minute of dropping a bait.

1kg Pillchards – 7$, burley bomb 8$ – using a newborn baby as a measuring device in a fishing competition – Shameless!

Today was the first fishing trip since the birth of my baby daugher, Charlotte. I thought it would be fitting to include her in the picture and she also adds some scale. I’m not sure of her length but she weighs in at about 3.7kg now!

After I had picked a couple of scales off her, placed her back in her bassinet, I used a M-fish rule and found the length to be 53cm.

Headed out for a fish this morning (4th April) a bit down on my luck. Still confidence was up that I must be due for at least dinner. After noticing the tide was quite low and realising I had misread the table we swore and headed out anyway. Even though the forecast was great as soon as we boarded the yaks a shower came on through…now I can never remember that’s good or bad

Anyway…since I got my yak a few months back I have had a pack of chartreuse (spelling?) Slams sitting in the bottom of my tackle box. Today I decided it was time to at least give them a go…glad I did. After about probably 20 minutes or so I had hooked a monster. The Abu reel was ringing and the heart began to pump – now let’s get it in the boat. After a reasonable battle with a couple of nice little runs I bagged me a keeper. 50cm!!!! Out goes the same bait and wammo off we go again. 48cm.

Then things slowed down…probably sat out there for about another couple of hours ficking baits around and ended up with another nice pannie, 45cm (my previous best) and a couple of small ones which went back to grow some more

All and all a great way to start the weekend.

cheers.

Contact: Ocky Blignaut (President)

About:
We started the club back in March 2006 and the fish have been afraid of us ever-since. It seems they must move away when we go fishing as we can’t catch many!

We meet at Johnson’s Outdoor in Silverdale every second Wednesday of the month at 7 pm. (Ocean Kayak factory showroom) We have at least one local competition (generally well within 2 hours of the bridge) every month and we have two to three weekend away comps to say the Coromandel or up North every year.

Feel free to peruse the site and see what we get up to. For non members, if you think this is for you please contact us and we would welcome you into the club.
