Shot the weather window to chance a powder day and the slopes didn't disappoint! With some beats from the snow machine music festival keeping the spirits up it was an epic day on the slopes!!!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there that sacrifice their boat snacks for the kids or miss the bite whilst waiting for their kids to pick their favourite toys, or having to help wee off the back of the boat!

However if your like me you wouldn't change it for the world as getting to share the adventures with your little people truly is the best gift as a dad!

Remarkables turned it on today! Deep snow, fresh tracks, and the kind of runs you don't want to end. Spring snow at its best!

Stoked and privledged is an understatement!
Throughout my "social media" journey I have had a lot of nos and rejection and is truly sometimes is a grind.

You see the great adventures we have but there is a lot that goes into making these happen. It's with these great brands that put the trust into you to make things happen to attest to how far we have come and can go!

Again thanks to team at Daiwa New Zealand for trusting us to deliver the adventures we envisioned!

Bio/Background Kia ora, my name is Rowan or Captain Hook. I started fishing with my Dad and Grandfather in the Marlborough sounds for large snapper and blue cod, progressively making my way further South until hitting the mighty Invercargill with my local port Bluff. We frequent trips out into Fiord...

Well Greynouth humbled me but been back home we onnnnnn! Thanks to the lads Daiwa New Zealand who sent me down some soft baits from Bait Ju**ie. Needless to say Smashed Kina obviously works! Catching a couple of absolute donkeys on the first drop!

Some nice tasty crays around which topped off the day! Sometimes the last minute missions can be the funniest!

Plenty of memories!

We took Grey Ghost for her first official West Coast bar crossing! She handled like an absolute champ! And whilst the rubs were more elusive than we would've liked it was definitely a trip to remember!

The boat performed perfectly keeping us safe whilst floating around at night! We utilised a Garmin New Zealand Fantom x radar during the night to
Make sure we were safe and clear of other boats!

The Yamaha took 17 hours of run time for the trip including alot of trawling etc and didn't skip a beat!

Cant beat making memories and adventures !!
