So, how many species of fish can you see? We headed out of Kuatuna at 8am. Great vis I might add around the surrounding reef by the boat ramp. A Sou-Easter with an evil intent kicked up on the way over - warm jackets, beanies and hot tea upon arrival at Cuvier the answer. Had to work the norwestern side to get out of the swell Vis around 10m, water cooler. Chill Swell was first into the action shooting me with his weapon of choice - a Go Pro. He then ikijimated his hand burleying kina which had me on first aid duties using very old band aids. Nasty cut. Fortunately he volunteered to tow my plat so that was good - particularly after he shot a sizeable blue moki (read shark food). Meanwhile up ahead the ever reclusive Undie Bandit had slain a sizeable JD on snoop and Porae. Eru nailed a snap. The territory allowed for snooping in the shallows with excellent boulder and weed formations out to 15m. All the right ingredients for good snapper - but 2kg was all on offer to shoot one with a hail Mary vertical shot (hate those) over a ledge. Found a cave full of big drummer and investigated resulting in a nice trevally that would have made excellent pole spear practice We tried burleying for kingis but despite excellent schools of baitfish no joy. So we braved the channel back to Great Merc after lunch. Finally got introduced to the Bookcase. Unfortunately it bore a close resemblance to frothy green pea soup so I opted to patch up Chills cut finger and Undie and Eru harassed panny snaps. I did talk myself into diving a weed line on the shore by the Case - and after a few bombs to 16m managed a turkey and missed a small king Good times. Undies boat is the Terminator of Spearo boats. Reckon we hit 45plus knots in sections on the way back. Weapon - Snoop
