sundays fish bunbury baldie

planned on getting up around 3:30 to take my oldman out sunday , i slept through to 5:30 after the snooze button got pressed a few times , hit the water had a drop at the 4mile on the way out for just a few bites but no fish in the boat then again at 12 and 16 with one good run but dropped and a few wrasse . motored on out to the main spot for the day first 3 drifts were pretty quick with the wind a bit stronger than i'ld thought and grey clouds moving in quick was starting to umm and arhh about heading in closer before it got worse but stuck it out with plenty of bites but nothing too serious other than a KG .Come 11:30 it turned it on as soon as we dropped solid bites then both the oldman and me hook up , first up pops he's a dhuie then mine which was another dhuie , dropped the oldmans back down with the release weight with mine dropped in the esky for the old lady , few more drifts with some decent bites but dropped and either giving them line when should of tried setting the hooks or trying to set hooks when should of given line happening , i miss one when i see the oldmans rod double over bit of a fight and up pops a baldie a first for the boat , first ive seen in person off bunbury and a first for the oldman so pretty happy . called it a day and had a couple of drops on the way back in for a small pinkie and usual wrasse/rockcod a few more dropped/missed all in all a memorable day

 He actually had a good day may have even out fished me , I'll put it down to me doing he's rig and tying the knots where he generally snaps off or knot undoes which I put down to he's eye sight . He seriously could not remember how to tie and rig the leader it had been that long

 I just quickly slapped the post together before hitting the sack last night i left out the bit where I got a late Saturday arvo phone call from the old man saying fence posts he was supposed to be doing hadn't arrived so he's on his way down and had to cancel on another bloke which I still feel like a prick for doing so
