Last two weekends fishing seabird
Managed to get a leave pass from the wife to go out the last two weekends the first weekend 25/2 I got out with the brother in law looking for a couple of dhus stayed in close until the wind dropped then headed out deeper the first fish was a 49cm dhu which was released then the arm stretching fun turned up, the first sambo I am guessing would of been between 12kg to 15kg the smaller one which was kept then was weighed at home was 9.5kg. After that it was just getting to hot out there having no shade so came back in for a beer.
Last weekend I went back down with the family because of a fishing comp that was on which we got the kids involved in and a big thank you to Andrew streeter(aka seakem) for letting us participate they had a absolute ball and my youngest boy ended up getting a prize for biggest herring which his sister stole the glory for but he tells everyone he sees he won a fishing comp and my dad has never won one lol, very proud of him.
I had the kids up at 5.15am to get into some tailor but nothing it was very quiet only a couple of herring and some small whiting at about 10am I went home grabbed the dinghy and took a mate out who wanted to catch his first dhu, talk about putting pressure on me.. I left the kids on the beach with the wife and said we would have a go for two hours then come in and finish fishing with kids off the beach for the comp. We get out just off the beach on some good ground and first drift we all get busted of by good fish so I line up for another drift and bang me mate hooks into his first dhu which went 6kg I thought he was going to cry he was that excited after that only a black arse then headed in to finish the day with the kids. It was a great weekend loved by all and some happy campers. I can't wait to get back down there.
unable to load up a picture of my son with his big smile and prize sorry but thanks again Andrew.

No probs at all Rob it was so nice to finally meet you properly and your wonderful family. I'm so wrapped the kids won a prize and please join in again next year, don't worry the dummer spitter won't be taking part lol, my apologies for that it was so embarrassing.It's all done light heartedly but some people obviously don't have a sense of humour lol. John the guy you met will be running it and he's a top bloke. Top pics by the way.
Love the West!

There is always 1 that tries
There is always 1 that tries to spoil a good thing but you get that and push on. Yes john seemed like a top bloke I was talking to him on the water also that day he helped us out with a present Then when we got talking at the caravan park he realised it was me he stopped and talk to so we had a good old yarn.

Good stuff!
Well done on those fish!
Although I like seeing pics of members catching big fish, I always feel warm inside when people post up stories of their kids enjoying themselves whilst fishing! Congrats to your son and daughter for claiming a prize!
And well done to Andy for getting another family involved in the comp. Good bloke, that sea-kem guy! Lol
A fish in the hand is worth 10 in the water!
