Swan River supprise

Last Day of the school holidays today for the Kids and I'm on an afternoon shift. So the kids had hit me up yesterday to take them fishing and My Brother was visiting so along with the wives and kids this morning we thought we would get down the river and try for a few bream. Keen little ones so Uncle Graham up early after a late shift yesterday and made bacon and egg sandwiches for all as we met up at my house. Fishing Gear in the car Kids talked all the way down the river (ended up near Bandiup women's prison).

 The Dog the keenest to get out and have a run once we got there . Dad setting up the rods and not even close to quick enough for the kids Heath first in fished hard for 1 1/2 hours for no reslut Jackson pretty much the same although he did catch a snag and pull up some line so off to the bin with that and I cast out while he was gone and much to his suprise when he came back from the bin I had a nice 25cm Bream ( the only one caugh  ). We did see lots of fish jumping just not soo interested in the Prawns. Austin fished the whole time too but he did no better. As for my Brother his wife and their kids the only caught the tree branches over head.

Then i said to the kids time to go as i have to go to work and Jackson said hang on Dad i Have got something, I said ya righty oh Just hurry up its time to go Then DDAD DAD its a Turtle
