bioshield grass grubTM from Ballance Agri-Nutrients is a ground- breaking way of managing productivity-robbing grass grub activity in pasture. Its unique, easy-drill granule formulation contains a natural biological control agent proven to be highly specific, and effective, against New Zealand’s most destructive pasture pest. Better still, bioshield grass grub leaves no toxic residue in the soil, has no withholding period, and is safe to use around people and animals. It’s revolutionising the way we think about good pasture management.

PAGE 18 Te Awamutu Courier, Tuesday, February 15, 2005 Double marlin strike By Colin Thorsen Te Awamutu fi sherman Greg Barclay is stoked to have fi nally landed his fi rst marlin after four years trolling at Kawhia and Raglan. The 40-year-old Kawhia Boating Club member’s wife Abi says he’s been desperate to catch one for years - he’s ‘fi shing mad’. Barclay was aboard a 5.05 Buccaneer boat - borrowed from Rollos Marine, Hamilton, while his new boat was still being built. He and his mate Roy Vellara were at Kawhia fi shing for kahawai and snapper, with two lures out the back for good luck. They were targeting large kingfi sh on these particular lures. Barclay says after boating 11 kahawai and one albacore, Vellara was more than happy but kept requesting for more albacore. In slightly deeper water at 11.05am, Barclay sighted the marlin taking the lure 90 degrees to the boat. “Within a second, both rods were screaming.” In sheer panic, he and his mate real- ised that they had two marlin hooked up at the same time. After fi ve minutes of losing line, both fi sh (going in different directions) were confi rmed. The reel, of the fi sh landed, remained in the rod holder while they endeav- oured to play the fi sh on the other line. Unfortunately, Barclay’s Gold reel malfunctioned. The end result - the rod was aban- doned with the fi sh having at least 1km of line and still going. Barclay says many cell phone calls and VHF calls proceeded. The decision was then made for Bar- JOB WELL DONE: Te Awamutu fisherman Greg Barclay (second from right) and clay to take control of the rod, with Vel- mate Roy Vellara after landing his first marlin at Kawhia.
