FF:NZ Those dirty mexicans / spanish... or whoever

So it seems it's going to be another year when El Niño shows himself, and that's all good by me. Warm / dry summer = good times like this:

Yes, I woke this morning and decided, "No. Work can just wait" I gathered the lads and we went fishin at "Farty poo" (Whatipu).

Good times.

We were thinking of going snorkling / spear fishing, but I'm rather glad we left that for later in the season, the water is still a little nippy.

So, what was the haul?

Put a shirt on!

Na, fish weren't biting. The tides are rather large at the moment according to my tide book and dad says it's not the best, even though we fished over the low, there still wasn't anything around... hence the paintshoppro edit.

With the lack of work I might be needing to do some more fishing to fill in my days it seems Either that, or I give it up and get a job somewhere

Fishing sounds better to me.

Just when I thought work was picking up again and I'll be able to make some good dosh over the summer... Seems it'll be another skinny month

Sounds like a good excuse to get rid of that gut!

yup, it's hard to get too uptight about global warming on days like today. (OK, I'm being trite ... of course I care.) I took the hardtop off my car on Sunday and had a nice drive up to Clarke's Beach and Waiuku and actually got a bit sunburnt.

Guess what the weather's doing in Welly today?

Go on guess, i dare you, you'll be surprised!

Snow?

Close.

Rain, wind, fog, but no snow.........yet

lol

Yesterday I doff'ed the shirt from about 9am till 1 whilst walking around a farm up south head (kaipara) and I'm on my way for a good tan this year.

Had a little lay down on the beach and watched the mullet in a small secluded bay jumping around. Very nice day.

Yeah my mullet was blowing about in the wind yesterday

Glad you didn't say 'your mackrel was blowing around in the wind'.

Won $50 bar tab coming 3rd in pool comp last night

*Note to self, Learn to play pool, to get free alcohol when 18*

It's more like a swordfish
