As promised, photos of the past weekend's excursion. At least two very decent fish did not make it to the bank, but the technique has been refined, a landing net has been arranged and the boilies are being made MUCH bigger!
What a wonderful experience! Ngaroto is a lovely lake, with fun for the whole family. These carp might look like the fishpond variety, but boy, they scrap much harder than most commons in well fished areas! These two both fell to the magic bunspice boilie.
I hope that this irrefutable proof will go a long way to silencing the critics across the ditch. NZ 1 Aus 0. (unless you can count a 4.5cm yellowbelly, but from my understanding they must be at least 35cm to e legal!)

Just for the record, the gold fish showed in these fotos were not harmed in any way.
We will be targeting bigger goldfish come the new year, with very high expectations of breaking the 20 pound mark.
And for the record, not only did I break my goldfish virginity, but burned it to ash with a wopping 11 goldfish caught in total which two exceeded the 6 pound mark and one monster of a 30 pounder was lost using the grass to free himself.
Careful you dont break the bowl
