Woke up at 5:30am, snuck out of the house, and went and got my fishing gear out of the garage. I carried every thing down to the Omokoroa Jetty and calapsed when i got there, my arms killing.OuchAs i put down my rods, i noticed a nice fat John Dory swimming around the pole.Big%20smile Before i could be bothered rigging up a softie, i unwraveled my throw net, aimed at the fish and hurled it over the top of it. Yep,Thumbs%20Up i had trapped it. I continued to draw up the net in order to catch the dory in the netting. I let it flop out onto the deck then killed it.Smile                          

After that i put a powerbait on, one i always have success onWink, onto my graphite rod i bought of Mark E, thanks Mark, flicked it towards the splashes and bang hooked up with a nice big Kahawai. I repeated this a few more times and before long i had 3 nice fat Kahawai.
 
Later i gathered 4 or 5 livies with my net and put one out for a Kingi, Dory or a Kahawai, on my rod with Blue Asparagus's reel that he gave me, thanks steve.Thumbs%20Up
In the meantime i had landed my 2nd dory on that old Powerbait.Smile
 
The sun rose and the day went on, but at about mid day, my line on BA's old reel started to creep out, thought it might be weed until it started nodding away.Shocked
Picked it up and it was another Dory!!!LOL
 
Later that day, i caught another kahawai and a Trevally which was just legal but released. 
I gave 1 dory to my neighbour, 1 dory to an old guy i know and kept the other 1.
Kept 2 Kahawai and released the rest. A hell of a lot of fun and a great day.

LOL   Classic !
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
