Well I hung the rod up for a few days to get in some serious whitebait time. Went for a flounder Sunday night and have left the surfcasting alone for almost a week now. Will head out to P.Hau for a whitebait tomorrow then maybe a flyfish up taupo somewhere for a couple of days. That gives me a few days to snag the "Big One" before the end of the month. Good luck to all on the first field day of the season.
