Back to the Good ole Days.

Like most I started fishing on the bread and butter species, Squid, Herring and whiting..

As the years went by and our boats just got bigger and bigger and the further we went out and the more we travelled up and down the coast chasing bigger fish.

Well of late I have been taking the dingy out just chasing a few herring, whiting and squid which is something I have neglegted to do for a long time and forgot just how much fun it is..

Today was my third trip out over the last couple weeks, this time with my daughter (who is up visiting from Bunbury)

And did we have a ball all on light gear and back home within a couple of hours.. Lunch and Dinner sorted..

Best of all the dingy runs on the smell of an oily rag..

Nothing wrong with that mate. Didnt see a report from you for a while and thought you must have pulled the pin on the site.

Great feed there outdoinit. I'm sure you have your favourite recipe but we've been making Thai fish cakes from Herring fillets recently - very nice.

Yep miss my dinghy sometimes - 5 minutes to clean and the fuel tank never seemed to run out.
