A great day on Lake Coleridge

We had a good spell in the weather so I took Graham Evans up to Lake Coleridge for the day. We saw fish on the finder but couldn’t get them to hook up. Was like glass on the water all day though – love it when it’s like that…

Superfisher Sarah!

Sarah catching the big one in the Marlborough Sounds. It was light tackle so this put up a decent fight. Watch the vid!

The crazy family… :-)

This is just Jack and I hanging, playing some music on the old gramophone. It’s cool, you just have to keep winding the handle heaps.

Sarah, Jackson and I recently hooked up the boat and went on a holiday to the Marlborough Sounds and Lake Rotoiti. Here’s a few photos from the trip. It was great fun and we just relaxed for the first time in ages. :-)

A day on the Opihi Gorge

Just a nice photo of the Opihi Gorge. I went flyfishing with Stu Clark for the day. Saw a few trout, caught none, but had a great day!

Squirting my lad!

We found a nice spot on the river for lunch and a swim ;-)   ratbag1 

Jack having too much fun in the water and looking cheeky… I think he needs some water pistol action.

Fly fishing the Hurunui

I took Sarah and Jack to the Hurunui river for a nice family day out. We all did some fishing, Jack had a swim and it was a great day. Sarah also got a chance to try her new pink fishing rod.

A great day flyfishing on the Opihi river!

I spent Friday fishing the Opihi river with Karl, an industry mate and another creative. Was a great day, we saw a large number of fish. Karl landed a few and I had plenty chase the fly. The water was crystal clear and very little wind. I need to do this more often!

Jack’s First Fish! A great day at Akaroa fishing…

This is Jack’s first fish! Good job buddy! Look at the rod bending over – man, must be an absolute whale! Giant Kingfish perhaps!

Great Barrier Trip

The ‘boys’ took a fishing trip to the Great Barrier Island for Ben’s birthday. Was a great trip and relaxing time with the mates… Great weather, fish to eat and good company. This is Gavin’s dad’s boat.
