b'SURFCASTING ROADIE NICEWHEELSWe drove up to Auckland to collect the Mazda BT-50 in the FIGZ Triton and I had to keep explaining to Leo our youngest boy who is 5 years old, why we were swapping utes and he wanted me to make sure I put the big fish (sign written snapper on the Triton) onto the new BT-50.I told him we didnt have time for that!Arriving at Mazda HQ and seeing the new Takami it looked very eye-catching, with a sporty looking profile and combination of black/grey exterior its Rock Grey Mica new colour is new for the range.Featuring dark metallic grey roof rails, dark grey side-steps, gunmetal grey signature wing, grey front bumper under garnish, black grille, gloss-black door handles and exterior mirrors, gloss-black sports bar, gloss-black fender flares, 18-inch black metallic alloy wheels and a handy retractable roller lid."It looked very eye-catching, with a sporty looking profile and combination of black/grey exterior its Rock Grey The 18-inch black metallic alloy wheels and tyres wereMica new colour is new for good in the sand.O ver the past 2-3 yearsThe new ute has that classicthe range."the west coast snapperMazda front grille design.fishing has just gotten better and better.I have grown up fishing off Ripiro Beach, my hometowns local and in my 48 years I can honestly say the surfcasting and boat fishing when it allows, is the best I have experienced.In early spring, I planned a trip up to the North Kaipara to test new surfcasters around the full moon and as you will read further back in this issue, we enjoyed good action on the new rods landing big snapper.I was in the middle of putting this issue to print in early October when Mazda kindly offered the use of their new BT-50 Takami.Checking the forecast and the easterly winds and low swell forecast that weekend was just too good not to go.It was also the first week of the school holidays, so I didnt need to convince my wife Olivia that I would take all the boys up to see their reles in Dargaville too.10FISHING IN GODZONE NOV/DEC 2022'
