Us guys wanted to get in the water with our spear guns today, and took a blind stab at this beach. Molly didn’t think they’d even be able to get in the water–the waves are usually fierce and crashing. They got lucky–we had never seen the ocean here this calm before, but I guess the magic condition was an easterly, or northeasterly wind. The beach remains unnamed so this popular walking spot doesn’t become too popular with the fishermen.

Not going hungry here.  A decent catch of Butterfish, Blue Moki and a limit of Paua.

I didn’t catch these crayfish(like a lobster with no large claws). Rosman, my fishing mate, grabbed them. I am still learning how to find them. The one on the left is a normal size you’d buy at the store– the guy on the right was a behemoth, weighing in at 6.5lbs.
