My young blokes trip to Exmouth
We had a visit from one of my kids a week or so ago, havnt seen him for 2 years so it was great .The weather wasnt that flash but the two of us got out for a couple of days in the boat and we managed a half day with Bec and Grace with us as well. Shaun has not fished here before so it was all new for him. The little bugger hasnt lost the generous dose of arse that he inherited from me and managed some pretty good fish.
First day we scored him a red, trout, mackie off the bottom and released spangos, red throats cod etc. I nailed a nice cobia and Shaun had a thumper cobe spit his popper out after we found some mantas near the Murions. We had a quick swim and grabbed a nice cray for that nights reef n beef as well .
Probably the highlight of the trip was releasing 10 trout the next arvo , keeping the big one I`m holding and then taking him for a dive and spearing another trout and a bluebone.
Sunday blew pretty hard so we went to Tantas chasing bluebone with Bec and Grace, the young bloke pinning the only one for the day while his old man dropped a couple. didnt I hear about that . . .
The windy rainy days I spent teaching him how to drive on the beach and reverse the boat and trailer down the ramp , a necessary life skill that when learned young will never be forgotten . It certainly got some funny looks at the marina a 15 year old doing laps with a 24 footer . . Got it pretty good he did too :-)

The bugger has been working
The bugger has been working in a butchers shop in Qld so I got him skinning and boning the fish, a couple more trips over and he`ll be good enough at it all that I may as well stay in bed and let him do the lot . Bet I`d still be expected to put the fuel in though ,did open his eyes when I put 200 litres in at $1.70 and then told him we would need more if the weather stayed good and we went a few times. . Definately a ripper few days, cant wait till Xmas when he reckons he`s coming back . .
