Boy's first demersals

After a bit of assisted micro jiggin action on rat sambos few weeks back, got the boy a new outfit to suit him and gave it a shot over chrissy still assisting/teaching him with the action/retrieve but only managed a lil slimey and a baker at the same sambo spot before mumsy started feelin crook in lumpyish conditions


Got out yesterday to troll up some tailor out of the wind while the easterly blew early. Headed out as it dropped off, and had some spirit breaking moments when I busted off on whatever smashed my live tailor then an unsuccessful hour or so huntin a mass of birds workin in an area to only get a few big stinkn snook. Conditions were beaut so out we went to a lil spot and dropped my placcy down. Checked the drag and handed the rod to the boy and advised to just 'hop' but not wind as I got the micro jiggers ready. Next thing hes yellin out as I look up to see him hangin on the bent rod with good thumps of the rod tip. Learnin to fish 'underarm' now he gets up his first blackarse and it it dispatched and put on ice for dinner. Woohoo, stoked for that to happen!

With barely a drift and no noticeable current it was ideal to fish the 20g jigs in about 32m of water without having to 'hold possy' much with the boat. The boy had been learnin to jig and I was pleased to see how well he parted the action on his own so I was happy to leave him be as I was keen to fish too. As I had barely got my jig to the bottom I hear the Boy yelp again and sure enough he was on. Just a pup but stoked to get his first dhu in that fashion!

Gota love the random Buddy Franklin comment, hadn't talked about footy all day???

That's gold Tim-o, but I hope the barbie lunch box was yours and you're not making the young fella have it.

He'll get there

Mon, 2015-02-02 16:42

Gota be enjoyable or they wont want to go. Nice conditions, keep it simple and fun, promote, encourage, don't force them. They're more than happy to sit on the reef an catch wrasse one after the other. Bring plenty of food and drinks (and a few nappies and wipes when they're starting out lol). We would only manage a few hour sesh when he was young, trollin up tailor or anchor and burleyin for skips. As they get older they can handle being out for longer. We were out at 8am and in at 4 on Sat, thats 8 hours and he never asked when we were goin in. Just gota mix it up, we had 4 seperate targets/styles in that time. I love puttin him onto fish and seein him progress in skills, they're big sponges. It can be hard having a hobby and a family too, but incorporating the 2 is killa!

Catch them while they are young

Mon, 2015-02-02 21:27

Great way to them off the X-box and Iphone. The way we grew up when technology wasn't around. These days the kids do not appreciate the majestic creation around us. Used to take my girl's mobiles and put it in the glove compartment whilst on road trips. Also threatened them with my 80's music if they dared to sleep. They both grown up now and have an appreciation for the outdoors (not fishing unfortunately).
