4 days at parry beach for 1 samon...grrrrrr
hi guys
well what can i say thats not in the heading?????
The wife, my son blake,grandaughter summer and myself packed up the new camper for the mayden voyage and off we go, i am
excited to say the least, new camper, break from work and oh boy the samon!!!! gunna be great!
we get there at about 11am on wed morn and set up camp, i crab my rods and straight to the beach, this goes on every morn and every arvo for 2-3 hours each go, for nothing.....and i mean nothing at all besides some small sandies.
no one is catching anything and there is alot of people trying, a small roumour goes around the camp of a samon getting caught at friday lunchtime???????
im thinking to myself, what alot of crap...there is no fish here at all.
i keep trying many differant spots around the place at many differant beaches for f...all!
with hopes fadding fast, i give it another go on sat morn, few more bites on the small rods with some more sandies coming in,
nothing on the big stuff, so i chuck on a sandie and let it soak while fishing with the small rods and finally it happens!!!
my one and only samon for the trip, back to camp a few hours later for a quick pic and then i donated the samon to another camping family, cause we all know they taste like shit....lol
then the stories fly around the campsite like wild fire and all of a sudden everyone was asking me where i got it....i felt like a star!!!!!
anyway here is a couple of pics from our trip, still beats working.
our first stop along the way (smoke break for the wife, no smoking in the car)
summers first attempt at rock fishing
our campsite
blake leaving his mark while getting bored with no samon

out of curiosity, is the pipe on your roof rack only for water storage or has it another use? you have given me an idea to fashion up a kids 'raft'. cheers

the camper holds 160ltrs but on the days we only take the car to the beach for overnighters the water comes in handy for many things, it holds 80ltrs.

Bugger - at least you got one
Bugger - at least you got one in the end!
I'm heading down for a crack over the weekend, hopefully a few more around
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
