Well I was there.
thanks Joe for putting this up.
I broke a brand new Shitamno 400 Deep Jig first day.
Piece of shit.
To go there from Aussie cost $Au2000 for everything and we had a ball
Amazing fish 5 minutes run from the wharf and Carl the guy that runs it is fricking fantastic but gets really pissed on Wild Turkey Honey burbon.
If you ever go to New Zealand fish with Epic Adventures and have a ball
I've attached a link to the stills from the trip
I'm replacing my T Curve with a custom built rod from Yee Haa in Auckland. These guys have some sweet gear (for Kiwis) at not so bad prices
