down time
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my friends and dog (Harry), fly-fishing and game fishing, tramping and exploring this beautiful country. I particularly enjoy driving my sports car around the great roads in NZ and am a member of the MX5 Club of New Zealand.|
On 6th April 2005 I caught my first striped marlin. of the east coast of Northland. The fish was tagged and released safely. The estimated weight was 75 kgs and it took 75 minutes to bring in :-) |

| In 2006 I caught my 2nd striped marlin. of the east coast of Northland. The fish weighed 115.4kg and was taken home and eaten. It took 40 minutes to bring in :-) |

My 1st. trout from the Tongariro River (I also have a photo of the fish being released if you're not into blood sports - catch & release is best) |
