Exmouth Sat Report
Took Jeff's and my boat out for a run from Tantabiddi on Saturday with Jeff was his aunty Helen and uncle Simmo and I had young Alex as my decky. The first pic is Alex making the most of resting his rod on the side rail while pulling a gold band snapper out of 115 metres as in PIC 4 you can see that I was busy with one and couldn't give him a hand.
Pics 2-4 6-8 show aunty Helen's first ever bronzie [released] on her first boat fishing trip with Jeff doing the honours and taking it off the hook for her [HE'S HER HERO!!!]
Pics 5-6 show Helen and Simmo with a honeycomb cod and a saddletail to add to the tally.
Over all between the two boats we finished up with 12 gold band, a saddletail, a honey comb cod, a tomato cod [one of a double header] a small striped tuna and 3 pan size snapper with a painted sweetlip, tomato cod, a couple of nor west blowies, a milky shark and the small bronzie thet Helen caught. All in all a good day out on the water with many whales to keep us company

I like the pic of you and Alex, both hooked up and concentrating hard. Who got theirs up first?

One guess
Give you one guess and it wasn't Alex. Pop had to give him a hand a couple of times especially when he hooked the big painted sweetlips.

Great pic...
...of the young fella bearing down on the fish. I reckon if that goldband could see the look on the kid's face it would've given up straight away! Great report and nice photos!

Good work guys and gals. Looks like it was a top day. Alex is going to be one gun fisherman when he gets older.

I 2 love the photo of the generation concentrating
On pulling the fish up. Carnarvonite thats a cracker. I can hear the bantering on the boat. "Bloody hell hand on Alex, Im onto a monster, just keep winding and when your arms feel like they are ganna fall off I will be there to help".
Looks like a great day out.
I realy should try and stop fishing to take some snaps when we are out!!!

Teachings
When Jeff was a little bit older than what Alex is now we were fishing off Gnaraloo using big handlines.
Jeff said that" I've got a fish on Dad", took his line from him and told him to put some gloves on.
When the gloves were on I handed the line back to him and said, "you hooked it, you land it"
Turned out to be a nice pinky around 5kg.
Same thing happened when we were beach fishing down at South Contos with a salmon on his 8 foot solid glass rod and Abu Cardinal reel.

Great Stuff
Some great pics there. I'm looking forward to my young fella getting amongst the fish like that with me. A few years to go yet though.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
