Hello!

Just wanted to introduce myself.

I'm from Auckland, and I've been in NZ for 25 years or so. I've gone fishing several times before but it's only recently that I took up fishing a bit more seriously. I love the guides and forums on this website! It has taught me invaluable tips and lessons. 

I'm currently land bound as I do not own a kayak anymore and I do not have a boat. If anyone is looking for a company, I would love the opportunity to tag along and learn from your fishing knowledge and skills. I wouldn't say I am a beginner but I am a novice with serious interest in fishing. 

I have some basic rock fishing combo I've used on and off for years to catch several snapper pannies, but I recently took up artificial lure fishing with a shimano backbone elite 7.2ft with a 2500fx reel but I have been extremely unfortunate with it so I am keen to learn. 

Nice to meet you all.

Heya, I'm originally from South Korea. My family moved here when I was a 12 years old. I've been here 2/3 of my life now.
