hi all had a quick trip with the family today out for a troll ,
we hit the 30m mark and trolled from south to north and got 1 spanish mac {10kgish}ok size fish ,but we lose a heap the kids just could not get them in fast enough,Alex had one fish on for about 8 mins and when it got near the boat a billy was wacking it and then the sharks started on it ,we got the head and the lure back thank god
after losing so many to sharks it was time to go home ,i think we lose 6 on lures and i lost about 12 skipping gars all choped in half
was a good fue hours fishing
sorry no pics the kids wherent to good with the camera

why
Why did you keep fishing if you were being sharked? In my opinion, that's no different to keeping the 18 mackies. Sorry to say it mate but that's not cool.

sounds like a good day on
sounds like a good day on the water . pity about Alex's fish.as far as loosing the gars half way along maybe get a longer set of hooks or smaller baits.
One thing tho, you have taught Alex how to fish, now its time to teach him the camera so its not always him in the pics

best bet is to get a cheap
best bet is to get a cheap point and shoot digital. i have seen them for around the $70 mark. get him interested by getting him to take pics of fish and putting them on the computer for him to see. you never know , he might be a natural just like with his fishing
