Today was a day we were going walk up to the Asbestos Hut which is up the Cobb Valley, however with the cold front blasting its way up the South Island it would not have been a nice tramp in and out so opted to attempt the walk tomorrow when the weather would be a lot better. Today will be an easy day with a return to the Anatoki Salmon Farm for more salmon fishing and brunch. We arrived at 1130hrs and there was no one else there so it looked like we’d be the only ones fishing. The young lady who greeted us rememberedRead More →

Woke to a beautiful day at Port Tarakohe this morning, the sun was just breaking above the embankments to the east and the port was as still as glass. The plan for the day is a revisit to the Pupu Hydro Walkway but first, the morning ritual of Judes two hour morning “cups” of tea while she checks in on all the overnight sporting results. We decided to go on the Pupu Hydro Trail after brunch so in the meantime I thought since I haven’t had the Drone operational since January I might as well put the AEROO drone up for a few photos BeforeRead More →

Funny day weather wise today at Rays Rest… sunny as and raining lol. However it was a good day for fishing today with the drone. 1st drop nothing, second we caught a boat (small dingy went past and picked up our line, fortunately the guys knew what had happened and stopped and released our line from their outboard leg), 3rd drop a nice snapper and 4th drop a nice snapper. First two drops were around 350 meters out and the two drops that Jude caught the snapper were just over 400 meters out. Both catches were just after full tide. Jude is stoked with herRead More →

It has been quite sometime since we have put a post up as we have been really busy over the past 6 months… yeah I know sounds a bit pathetic and I have to agree to be honest. Update on my fishing drone… sadly after repeated visits to the Drone Doctors she finally passed away while in the Drone Hospital. The good news is the Drone Baby Stalk is delivering a brand new one at no cost. However its been a hectic and brutal 30 months with the “Covidie thingy” and it has been hard watching as friends and family have been divided by thisRead More →

Beautiful colours this morning as we wake and look out the window of our moho. But as we know the old saying “Red sky at night shepherds delight, red sky in the morning shepherds warning”. However just pleased to wake up these days. Hopefully the weather hangs off until we finish our ride to the Coffee Float from Cromwell end this time.Read More →

Well it’s been a long time since we have put a post up and many will be wondering “where the bloody hell are ya”. Where?…. This year Aotearoamer is parked up at Trevelyan’s Pack and Cool Stores…. Why?… because we are sick budgies looking for a different perspective in life, we just want to remind ourselves of what working is like and working is exactly what you do in these packhouses. Last year we experienced the kiwi fruit season in Gisborne and had an absolutely awesome time with our dear friends Ian & Tui Harrington. What a blast that was… worked our butts off forRead More →
