So many fishing stories to choose from not sure where to start.
Fishing has always been a part of our family. My Dad is a keen as fisherman. Sometimes I think too keen getting my brothers and I out of bed far too early on a Sunday morning. Mum doesn’t come very often. But I have heard stories that she often outfished Dad!!
My true fishing journey started about 3 years ago.

The Club
Dad joined my brother Daithi and I up to the Ninety Mile Surfcasting Fishing Club. They have field days about every two weeks on a Sunday throughout the year. Last year we joined my best mate Leyton up to the club too.
The fishing club that me and my dad fish in really likes new members and we are slowly getting more juniors. What I like about the club is that the size for fish we are allowed to catch is bigger than the National size you are allowed to catch. So you have to put all of your small fish back. Thats great for keeping fish sotck up. Snapper have to be 35cm, Kahawai 40cm and Trevally 40cm. Dad and I always keep enough for a feed and then give fish away.
National Jnr Records
On the 10th of September 2017, I landed the biggest fish for NZ small fry [thats little fella] caught from the shore. Its also my biggest fish so far. It was a wopping 18.71kgs, a yellowtail kingfish or Seriola lalandi caught off East Beach Kamuamu on 8kg line. It took me about half and hour to land it. My arms were so sore. Dad always tells me and my brother that your rod, your fish, you reel it in. I was sick the next few days because I got so cold and wet. But man what a day!

We certainly fed the whanau with some of that. I didn’t get to enjoy much of my because you know what our place got robbed and the silly billies took my King Fish Chops from the freezer. Worse still they stole mine and my brothers fishing wetsuits. I was gutted.
Just recently I have caught a 9kg snapper off the Ninety Mile beach. It is also a National record and I got a prize from Black Magic Tackle. A cool cap and a instagram post.
Rubbish… We need to keep our beaches clean and there is just too much rubbish out there. How do we help? Take it home pick it up and be tidy Kiwi’s. In the 2019 snapper bonanza I won a prize not for fish but rubbish. I collected 4 big rubbish bags filled at the same spot it was chocka. Bag after bag peew it was stinky but it helped the planet so it was not a waste of time and I found a bullet. Good score.
Anyway I hope you like my story. If you want to know more about fishing or joining our club give me a shout and I will tell you. The best part about fishing is I get to spend the day with my Dad and brother trying to catch fish, out fish each other and eat sausage rolls! Take your kids fishing it will be fun.
