Nice day Friday

[plaicemat]

Had a very pleasant day out from Christchurch on Friday with a new crew who I think will settle in very well. Helps with the diesel costs from home, too.

 

Mackerel were very easily come by, when you know where to look! First cast in the right spot produced a double header of triggers and they continued to oblige with odd bits and bobs mixed in to help the day along. Best surprise was a big squid which was soon followed by others of a similar stamp. Not all were landed but enough to be going on with.

 

With the calm seas and warm sunshine it was great and rounded off with the rescue of an attractive, young, blonde maiden in distress who had managed to break her rowing scull in the river up near the harbour. We returned her to the rowing club, complete with scull none the worse for her experience; only a little cold from her enforced immersion.

At least it wasn't cradle snatching!

Les, anyone under 60 is a young maiden to me, and my crew who is older than me. Certainly the best preserved 51 year old I have seen for a long time. It was a pleasure to be of service.

 

By the way, further to our talk about squid, I think it's time to get your jigs out, we had so may of them chasing our baits.
