We are back! After a summer of boating and tackling big fish we are back to share all about it and compare notes on our thoughts around jigging vs stickbaiting. We also look at the 2nd hand boat market and I eat humble pie on a up and coming NZ boat manufacturer....

World exclusive!! Christian has bought a new boat! Listen in to see what it is and what I think of it!

Have a Merry Xmas and we will catch you in the New Year!

On this episode we talk to Captain Andrew Flanagan from Powerboat Training. Most of us probably know Andrew from his Instagram @powerboat.training which has over 245,000 subscribers and provides handy boat handling tips and advice on a daily basis. But did you also know he was a member and trainer for the RNLI? Or that he has a business dedicated to upskilling skippers so they can enjoy all the magnificent boating this country has to offer safely.

We also discuss our ultimate 8-9 Metre boats which include Surtees, Tristram, Makaira, Dickey, Caribbean, Rayglass, and Herley- you may be suprised at our verdict! Dog of the month returns and we answer the question- what is New Zealand's ugliest new boat!
