Kids and Cooks day out

Took the Kiwi and Tom for a fish Saturday. Tom loves his fishing and very keen with the Pup talking up the big ones. The pressure was on to find Tom a fish. Over to a couple of rocks that normally produce some nice fish. Toms is the first down with a bait. boat had hardly stopped. He is on a nice little snapper for his first point Sampson fish. well done. things are looking good. Next hour 0 not a thing. Tom may have scared them off with his yells of joy over the fist one. Moved over to another area that normally produces some great golden’s. Tom and Pup drop together Pup doesn’t like being second in the water. Bang double hook up. Tom’s new combo is getting a good work out but getting low on line with the first run of a good fish. The Pup has his under control so we move the boat around to help Tom on his light gear. With a little help from dad Toms first golden comes to the surface, the look on his face was priceless. One buggard little boy but with his biggest fish ever he was happy. We played with the golden’s for a while then headed over for some fish for the dinner table. All landed some nice snapper except (Pup not happy). Enough for dinner time for home. The cooks meet us at the ramp loaded up with food and drinks time for a swim on the island. The cook’s kids have a ball. Tom and Pup off fishing again too much energy. Time for home winds up a bit. slow trip to keep the cooks happy drag a couple of lures. Pups on a nice Queeny he is happy a fish in the boat at last. Kiwi cook had not caught a fish from a boat before so with some instruction from Pup she is on strike. Not far from the ramp and nothing. About to call lines in when yells and screams from the back, Kiwi cooks on. After some interesting rod work another nice Queeny. Time for home, great day out for all.

Good read and story.

The outfit the youngster is grunting under looks the part. What reel have you got on it.

Looks like a nice Shimano, maybe a Saragosa.

Neels
