Fishing in Augusta with my son
Today was a great day in which I got to take my son fishing in Augusta. We were in my 4.6m Stesco and headed out around the island.
I was teaching him how to use soft plastics and our first couple of spots revealed nothing and I was starting to question if I should have brought some bait with us. Our next spot was a tiny piece of ground and my plastic got taken which turned out to be a 20lb Dhuie, we were mucking around with it when my sons rod went off and nearly pulled him in, after a decent fight a 65cm Dhuie came aboard.
I flicked the young blokes plastic back in and it got hit straight away and in came a 70cm Dhuie, while this was happening my rod went off and another 70cm one was boarded. After successfully releasing the two smallest ones my young bloke had a grin from ear to ear and now had caught his first ever Dhuie. This spot has been marked and hopefully will produce again when I take my other two boys out and give them a chance... Photo's will follow tomorrow (hopefully)

The best part was letting him release the fish and watching them swim away! Could not get the grin off his face for the rest of the day.

HI Mate, my favourite at the
HI Mate, my favourite at the moment is a white 8 Inch Z Man plastic but also use the 7 Inch Gulps, again in a whit colour which the fish seem to love. You just have to be persistent and when you finally catch one on a placcy you will love it. Cheers

The art of fishing consists of casting, winding, trolling and jigging
while freezing, sweating, swatting and swearing.
