Oi GK I'm no ones spotter/ghielie I supply the chicken Snappy uses for bait
This is to me and a lot of fellow fisherman the highlight of my fishing year, The Naki has good fish but the far North has a certain magic to it. And its not just the 90mile but also the day's you can go fish on the east coast. Those five days go by in a blur but its the best blur of the year.
I was hooked after the first year, yea its bloody expensive but you only live once,
This isn't the pinnacle of our sport and there is a certain amount (skilled) luck involved but you feel that you achieved something if you have measured yourself against the "big guns"
I am one of the many that hope this contest is around for many years to come.
My 5cents: Standing on the sideline and just slinging mud doesnt help anyone. Become part of the solution not part of the problem.
Spring is on its way. Tight lines all my fellow fisho's
