Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Mum wanted to go fishing today, its her 69th birthday and Dad was committed to the second stage of a 4man golf comp so the responsibility fell to me.

Pretty average conditions with the north easter this morning so the snapper were off the bite as is often the case with the easterly.

There was no chance of the young fella going to daycare while fishing was happening so he came along and proved to be the days champ hooking two kingfish.

This was the first 74cm...so a quick hug and back over the side.



Its a bloody big fish for a nearly 4 year old to let go i tell ya. It was followed quickly with one of the same length caught buy mum.

During the fight i cut my line as it became tangled in it and we wernt sure of the size at that point. So while re-tying my line i hear a "ziiiiiiing...dad help" and turn to see the young fellas little green rod bent double in the rod holder.

It was a slow patient fight. Ten or so minutes and mostly handled by me but there was no chance this one was getting let go.



All were caught on baited flasher rigs.

Who says you need a flash rod for kingfish....



Mum reckons she will never forget it

Now time for some hunting
