Thanks for taking mini me outApparently fishing is an ok past time again according to mini me.
Him and I got a couple of hours in fishing last nights tide, only landing a sand shark but that made the effort worth it apparently.
So we were off floundering today so I was told at 9am this morning.
Flicked out a few messages but all the handy full size Humans were either at work or sporting, so I grabbed VCs lad and we headed out to wage war shortly after lunch.
It is winter aye?
Wetsuits on and into it. Here's me hoping I can supervise from the shore, nope, "You are the tallest (just) so you get the deep end". Well bugger me it wasn't a very low tide.
First drag through the ole honey hole pulled 4 flatties on deck, weed cleared and in again, heading upstream for a short drag into shallower water, for my benefit apparently..
Nothing but weed.
Back down below the honey hole for the third drag just as the tide turned, sees me swimming to the far shore to tow the net upstream. It wasn't a very low tide remember.
A heap of weed and looks like we struck out again. We start clearing the net and preparing to depart, with the promise of brewing a hot chocolate when we get to the carpark.
One of the apprentices sees movement and rescues one lucky last flatties from certain drowning.
Five tasty morsel for our efforts. A bit smaller than the usual offerings but hey, winter and all, so we are happy.
Dried off, a warm drink and we head home content.
More than we could have caught on the couch. The couch was a damned sight warmer though eh lads.![]()
