Easter at Rotto
Submitted by Pete D on Tue, 2008-03-25 08:23
Spent a lovely 3 days at Rotto over the weekend with the family.
Caught a nice Harlequin whilst drift baiting on Friday arvo. He joined a few king prawns which made for a perfect dinner.
Lazing around in Stark Bay Friday and Saturday. Caught a sized cray whilst snorkelling which was a bonus.
No concerns with the engel, cd player and lights running with this baby.

Beer O'clock time. Stark
Beer O'clock time.
Stark Bay shoreline
The swell came up Sunday morning and turned the north side of rotto to pea soup. Met up with Ryse in Thomo Bay to cancel diving because of swell so we bailed and headed home.
Great 3 days on the water with a good mix of family, fishing, easter eggs and beer.
Cheers Pete

Nice
Love the safety line attached to the tube. Was that for the little kids sake or for the bigger kids who were polishing off a few frothies?:)

Love being a kid!
The wind was blowin' and I wasn't up for paddling back for refills BJ. The young one also thought is was great fun retrieving and releasing me
. The missus, on the other hand wanted to cut me free after the second request for a beer refill and to put some chips on the marlin board
.
Next time Ryan! Hey, did ya retrieve my beer glass off the cray boat? No more homies for you til it is returned
Cheers Pete
