Smoked crayfish on the traeger! Cooked hot with a heap of butter salt and pepper. Nothing beats cooking up a feed to share amongst friends!

Who has trinkets or talismans they take out boating and fishing? Pros and cons to both. But might make this my new one. Turns out Daiwa was in the genes as I found my grandpas old fishing bag and had one of these still in it.

So it's found a spot in my fishing bag in the hope it brings me some of his good luck he had fishing!

Blue cod been cheeky and clever! Amazing how they roll to secure their food. And the little bu**er sitting there with it in his mouth!!

What a difference 6 years can make. Bit of a long post so scroll on if you want.

The journey to where we are now has been an epic adventure of personal growth and amazing experiences. From starting Wettie Southland in 2018 to owning my first boat!

The adventures we have had along the way combined with the support from you the online community and the businesses that have supported and believed in us, have all made it possible!

I don't take for granted where we now are. Behind the scenes of the social media life you guys see. Is grit and determination. Sacrifice from the wife and family and friends. But when you have a group that believe in you anything can be archived.

So as we begin a differnt chapter and share more adventures that are going to be differnt I just want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for getting us to where we are!

Where has this year gone!! Summer is knocking on the door step and this summer things are a little different!

We won't physically be down in Invercargill this summer. However, the kind folks McDermott Marine located on Dee street opposite Popeyes, will be holding some of the essentials for us to keep you all afloat. Big items like floatboats, spear shaft thingys and weight harness and weighrs, will be available to pickup and collect from them during buisness hours.

For any other summer orders like wetsuits etc we are just a message away but please allow enough time for couriers etc to get them down.

Thank you all so much for your ongoing support and buisness and we look forward to the next chapter once we are back at the end of summer!

Aside from the fishing and adventuring we do and the appearance on social media that I am never at work!

I can confirm that atleast one Hook is out doing the mahi! So proud of my wife and the work we both do but for her great effort! 11-12% survival rate from out of hospital cardiac arrest so unfortunately we deal with a lot of sadness in our line of work.

However this is about celebrating a new chance at life for someone and the incredible work we do!

And Kia Kaha.

An Invercargill man who suffered a cardiac arrest at home says he has a lot of brownie points to catch up on with his wife after she helped to save his life.
