75 and First ever Dhuie..
Well the old's came up for a visit again and I took Dad out for a fish, over the years I have tried everything to get him onto a Dhuie.
But he caught everything else but the elusive Dhuie, well that was until Saturday, we headed out early to the second bank only to have it blow up which made it pretty crap.
We persevered and I had Dad sitting on the Ice box (So he wouldn't take a fall) while I baited he's hooks and got him set. We fished for a few hours catching a couple of Baldies and I also got a Dhuie.
We had shifted around a few spots and was starting to think about heading home when Dad gives a grunt and the rod bends.
The end result was a nice eating size Dhuie and He couldn't be happier to cross that one off the Bucket List...
I've spent half my life fishing.. The other half I have wasted..

A Bit Hard
To catch Dhuies in the Desert, he just needs to spend more time with you.
As for the young fellow with a name & gene pool like his, the playground at his front door, I think we will see a lot of him on this forum.
A Big Congrats and Thumbs Up to The Skipper

Young Hunter doesn't look that happy in the background of the photo but he loves he's fishing and even more squiding..

Great to see your dads first Dhuie caught, that will open the floodgates now that the draught has been broken, look forward to seeing better and bigger Dhuies in the near future, well done to the young 75 year old.
Cheers
