Tribeless Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 We're at our holiday home in a place called the Marlborough Sounds for the next eight weeks. I caught a Snapper big enough yesterday evening to break my surf caster in two, so until I can get my client, who owns a sports store, to courier me another, I'm fishing off a dinghy. The sad part of the story? My KK is an eight hour drive at our home in Geraldine, sitting all by itself on the balcony. At the holiday home I'm cooking on a gas Weber. (Really missing my KK ... and all these fish that could've been smoked. I'm thinking of buying a 19 inch KK for here ... we'll see. You certainly get addicted to them and going from charcoal and smoke back to gas is the pits). Quote
Paswesley Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 Re: A Sad Story Are you saying that you landed the big snapper, although you broke your fishing rod in the process? Wow! That was some fish. There is nothing quite like the taste of fish freshly caught and grilled waterside over a charcoal fire. Ohhhhh, yummy! Quote
