Fishing on Marlborough Sound

With the rain finally cleared, we spent a day fishing on picturesque Marlborough Sound. Who knew that it was possible for a fish to be "too big to keep"? Tracey caught one. Sadly, not pictured....so you'll have to take our word for it. (Totally honest though - once the blue eye cod get to a certain age they become breeding stock & are therefore protected. Pays to survive to maturity, apparently.)
