trip report
Recently returned for a tip up to coral bay with the boys. Unfortunately slr charger failed halfway through the trip so not many photos but some good ones in the time we had. Idea was to get some spearing done but conditions were testing and meant we were only able to fit a few dives in. Big swell and strong winds were persistent most of the trip but we did get a few very nice days in-between. Ill keep it basic, landed 6 blacks and two sails from a few days trolling along with few hoo’s, tuna and dollies. Had one ripper morning spearing spanglies in 20m, whilst being teased by many large tuskies and baldies coming in for a look. Also had some good dives out deep all spearing mak’s ranging from 15-21kg. (sorry about image quality res had to be dropped considerably) enjoy
quick dive in close:

nice pics mate!
In the second last pic looks like youve left your mate behind in the wake and hes waving frantically about 100 meters behind!
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
