Family day in Exmouth gulf

hi all

i finally got 2 days off so my lovely Wife wanted to go fishing ,so out in the gulf we go, not far out we find a bait school and drop a slice down and up comes a nice golden trev,a nice start to the day 2 mins from the leads

 

 

  as we got to the first spot Alex {Shallow water} was jigging and up come number 2 a nice school mackeral

 

as the fishing was a little slow alex got a snag and as i was getting it off up came this little fella came up Blotched Jawfish. we always get them on this spot, so back he went for another day

 bait casting a floater out the back i managed a nice little shark to the total i havent tried shark up here so im going to give it a go

 

 the fishing had slowed to a stop so i was going to go for a swim, 2 mins in the water a got a 510 trout 

 

  sorry about the 2 trout shots

  as we started the track back home we managed a nic mac tuna off a bait ball and was released for another day

 

 was a great day in the gulf and spent with family on the 40deg day

 

 

 thank you all for reading

blotched jawfish

Sun, 2012-02-12 17:55

that blotched jawfish is a good size.  I know you released it but have you ever eaten one before?  Some say they're not bad eating.

Pot plant holder

Someone told me that you'd donated the boat to Vicky to use as a pot plant holder because its been that long since it saw the water. Must have been a nasty rumour.

Good to see a few fish coming in though not too sure about the little shark, let us know how it turns out.

 sounds like a great family day out resulting with a nice feed of fish.

One thing tho, i wouldnt have thought you would have kept the golden with all them other nice fish to eat that you get up there. not too bad on the tooth tho

Jawfish

Mon, 2012-02-13 09:41

God they are the fugliest critters around. There is no way I would eat that nomatter how good it tastes. I would have that gobsmacked fish ugly thought going through my head whilst I chew. It would probably make me puke.

Otherwise nice day out.

Great family day out. I can't wait until my two (5 & 3) grow up just a little more so that they can remain focussed on anything for longer than 10 minutes.
