Fishing with Gav – 2017

Some pics from my trip with the lads to the Bay of Islands in Gav’s dad’s boat. Awesome trip as always, weather a bit average but good company. Look forward to next one.

The New Family Boat!

Summer here we come!! Dad’s new project… A few things to do, but a solid base for fishing and skiing! All invited for a tow around the lake (when it stops blooming raining!)

The Ski Boat

Pretty stoked that I took the boat out of the shed after winter/spring and it started first turn of the key! Awesome motor on it! Looking forward to some wakeboarding…

Quick trip to fish at The Coromandel

I took the family out for a cruisy day on the water. It was such a great day it was glassy conditions most of the time! We went around Waiheke, then ducked across the Happy Jack’s Island in the Coromandel. We saw workups, Dolphins, Penguins and got enough snapper for a good feed for dinner!

Jack can now bait his hooks himself and Livvy finally got her sealegs and now loves it!

Fun day on the water

Sarah took the kids to the Groynes for a play on the water. Check out Jack’s smile! He’s loving it! I reckon he’s going to get into kayaking – he’d be great!

Jack’s Auckland visit

Jack came to Auckland with me on the latest tri. We stayed with the AK Stones and made sure we got in a good fishing trip. No huge fish but got a keeper. The kids had fun and we made sure we let them get a swim in at Motuhi on the way back.

A day at the Hood!

We took a few families to Lake Hood today for a play on the boat and to let the little kids swim in the lake. Had a blast and we even had a 30 min thunder and lightening storm directly overhead! Sarah got up on the wakeboard and the kids all did the biscuit. Next trip we’ll head to McKenzie country!

Squirtle!… A great Day at the Hood!

Meet ‘Squirtle’ the new addition to the Stone clan. 30yo, retro ski boat with a beasty motor. We just couldn’t miss the water fun this summer! Christened her on Lake Hood today with a few good friends and had a blast. It goes like snot! All the boys got out on the ski biscuit and I wasn’t able to make Jack fall off!
