    Hello Friends,
    On this episode we slip the mooring line after the storms had passed and made our way to Ketu Bay. We had heard that there was good fishing to be found in this bay and after days and days of trying, Rhonda caught two Gurnards (after getting some fresh bait from a near by yacht).

    Nice one James. Just binged watched from Cape Reinga.
    So cool to see you bond with your ship mate and sounds like your going to connect again in Tasmania. The Tasman sea can be and is a Bitches Brew as you well know. Please make sure your doubly ship shape and Bristol fashion Friend. How about a composite or metal tiller and plenty of grease for those bearings.

    Shit man, what's going on with the gloves?
    Nice gurnard too.
    And did you hear it grunt?
    Gurnard tend to grunt.
    And yes it's at a recordable volume. Best time and success rate to catch fish in Pelorus is when the Mussel Harvesters are working. Anchor up and row your dinghy over, ask permission to fish, and the skipper normally says yep. Obviously not beside him. A few rows over. You'll see a ton of mussel berley going back into the water. Depending on where you are, you'll get gurnard, blue and red cod, the occasional snapper and whatever. Sometimes skate. There's good recipes online for skate.
    As I've said before, you're bringing back memories. Love it in the sounds.
    Thank you for sharing mate.
    Have you seen Hectors dolphins in there?
    I had a pod of 6-8 hang around my yacht...but they do move around. Grayish with black rounded dorsal fin. Anyway keep the episodes coming. Take care in Oz.
