Over the past couple of weekends I have been getting up early....for a Saturday and heading off fishing with Graeme and his boat Angelique. Both weekends we have come back with 15 to 18 snapper, at least a couple of trevally and a couple of New Zealand's own brand of fish a kahawai and a John Dory. Now I was told that when you catch a John Dory, there is always a dory-story that goes with it...
My particular dory-story goes like this : I pulled up a small cod about 100mm and Graeme told me to throw it over with the hooks through it back and fish for a John Dory. Now never having seen or heard of a dory before i thought why not and fished for a dory for about half an hour or so, whilst continuing to fish for snapper on my other rod....no dory so graeme told me to pack that rod and continue fishing. Whilst pulling up my um-teenth small snapper i thought geez this one small...or so i thought as the rod just got heavy from that point on. Thinking I had a occy or maybe an old boot and as i pulled it to the surface i discovered i had a snapper about 100mm long inside this mouth, which was actually attached to a fish...A John Dory...
And thats my John Dory Story . . . So whilst the weather has been great, Graeme and I have been enjoying it in the boat.
