Saturday 30th April 2016
Went for a morning fish on the Onerahi wharf. I went out in blusterous conditions looking for a meal. I had put on a whole small Jack Mackerel and as soon as it hit the water so something hit it. Unfortunately it didn't hit the hook and I pulled in a bare hook. Next time the same thing happened but the elusive fish generously left the head. The next time I put on half a mackerel and a sinker and pulled a snapper up alongside the wharf. The snapper would have been around 32cms and as it pulled my line deeper it suddenly went all heavy, as I got it up to the surface I found a bloody shag tearing this fish apart and eventually pulling it off the hook. After some bad words, I stormed off home.
