two rocks 5/3/2012

Weather looked too good to miss out yesterday so i took the opportunity to take my wife and siter and brother in law out for their first fish in the ocean.

Got the girls up at 3:30am to load the boat and give them the real fishing experience. on the water just as the sun came up and was magnificent. The further we went out the calmer it became.

We had some pots out deep and pulled them for a nice little bounty, great start to the day.

Was slow going early with only pickers then my brother in law got a just sized baldie but was just about dead when it got to the boat so kept him for the oven. Then i pulled up a really nice black ass on a mulie.

The girls were not very happy until my wife pulled up a nice Dhu. First fish and a keeper. She got it on a McCarthy 7"bull head. Couldnt wipe the smile off her face.

30 min later and another move and the sister in law pulls up a nice pinkie!! She was very happy with herself, not because of the fish but because she didnt spew while winding it in. She was crook from 6:30 until 1 pm when we finally gave in and took her home.

Great day out on the water, conditions were fantastic and brought home a nice feed. THANK GOD FOR THE PUBLIC HOLIDAY!!!!!!

Problem is now the girls may want to come out all the time....

Great result. Five different but equally tastey things to eat. That's a good day on the water.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
