That's a pic I'd need permission to use but if you have some ideas along that theme I'd love to see them. Ohhh did I say I was going to win?

Wow! Here it is from 10 years ago! Not much has changed, I still haven't won it. I used to run this single handed with either Wefaknis or Skoti doing weigh in (the only real work done) and we had no cash prizes.

This year I'm going to win it homies and if I do I'm getting a gurnard tattoo to celebrate. Was thinking of something like this

Congrats to Lindsy for the biggest carrot of the day Clap
A great comp that will no doubt get better each year .
Big ups to Smudge and John Moran for putting this together , to John Ra and Wefaknis for their work behind the scales and calculator and to the sponsors DKM and my mate ( generous ) Gerald who gave some prizes from the prize he won at the Gurnard Guru Clap Thumbs Up
I had big dreams of winning this comp and being the king of the grunta hunter .
Dreams so big I could see them wif me own eyes ......



But twas not to be Cry
Dad did allright with a bang on the kg carrot taking out 5th Clap
He might've got 6th or 7th had I not dragged him to the frount of the weigh-in line ( sorry about that Arron , OK not really LOL )
5th , 6th & 7th heaviest carrots were all 1kg , Johny Morans 2nd place went 1.13

So who was the F-netter who , on leaving the green shed rrrrrsed over by the gate , getting mud all over his pants/jacket/chilliebin/hands .
The lights were off at the green shed and darkness prevailed ...
... I guess we'll never know the answer to that one Embarrassed

Well it's done and dusted.
 
What a snotty day. The harbour was beautiful til the tide stopped running and all of a sudden the dreaded wind against tide thingy kicked in. Around lunchtime a quick check on nowcasting peeged the wind at Manukau Heads 47knots peak with an average of 38 knots. So was a little nasty out there.
 
Winning fish didn't go to a forum member but it did go to a forum boat, congrats ZUKMAN and his mate Lyndsay Russell for a fish weighing 1.18kg.
Nice.
2nd prize and it was no surprise went to Manukau legend John Moran with a fish a little smaller ... obviously. Three Castlepoints ago  i could have told you what it weighed but that moment has passed by.
 
John & Susan Ra fished with me and Arron, unfortunately I couldn't quantify all the boasting by putting fish in the bin and three of us went home without any gurnard. Arron just had to show off by taking out 6th place (Castlepoint memory) and Skoti's dad Barry managed 5th with an identical weight fish which was weighed in earlier than Arrons.
 
I did manage an unusual catch though ... a stargazer, another pb.... well i have to put some positive spin on it, it was THE ONLY FISH I CAUGHT!!
 
We ended up with around 40 anglers not too bad considering the extreme weather but hey nobody died and it was all good in the end.
 
Thanks John & Susan awesome! They even gave a hand at the weighstation giving Wefaknis a hand. Even Craysee turned up even though he is moving house - he will be in one heap of trouble when he got home.
 
Aluminator ... did you sleep in bro???
 
Big big thank you to Gerald Muir for donating some spot prizes and of course our sponsor DKM Fishing and Marine in Waiuku.
 
OK Steve ... you got some pics for us?

And I'm off too! John Ra, Susan, Arron and I will be hitting the water in 30mins to catch some huge as gurnard ....
 
Fishing will be restricted to the Waiuku Channel and the call will be made on Channel to come back home if conditions deteriorate but the channel should remanin very fishable. Good luck to any of you fishing today.
