First Dhu for our boat, First dhu for my little fella
Headed out on saturday morning with my two young blokes. As i went to leave the ramp i find out the GPS/sounder decided to a hissy fit and not work at all. Luckely i was heading out to similar area with a mate (he was in his boat) he didn't mind me following him out. hit 40m mark and he draw an X on the water an told me ground was good around this area. so with all that info i through out the drift anchor and baited the hooks. I was giving both my boys a turn of the big rod and getting to feel bigger bites then our usual target of whiting. i was playing with the sounder trying to get it to work, next thing i hear "dad, dad, i've got something" turn around, rod up and tip bent right around. with a bit of help from dad and he landed this. First for the boat (since i've owned it) and his first dhu was about 6kg 70cm.
we went in to our favourite whiting hole and got a great feed of whiting. some good size sandies with my littlest nabbing the best for the boat on the day. IUt was a great day out with my kids

That's what it's all about
The smile on your young fella's face says it all. I love landing a good fish, but these days almost enjoy more getting my kids onto a decent one. The joy and pride on their faces is priceless. Great fish, well done!
