Took my young bloke Jack for a fish early sunday up and around the Coomera river
hit the water around 6 near runaway bay with the crab pots loaded in the tinny
put the pots in the coomera then took jack for his first shot at trolling lures, headed up the river and my lure is hit I wind in a nice flathead at 51cm for dinner
On our way agian and not 20 meters further jacks rod stated losing line quickly he wound it to the side of the boat for a nice little cod, I got it in the boat for a few pictures but i wasnt to sure on a size for these so we let him go to get a bit bigger
Off we go agian and just got back to the same place and my rod goes off at first i thought i had hooked a log but as i wound it in i found a stargazer on the end of my lure, Now i have heard of these being good eating but it had a head only a mother could love so i wasnt going near it , so back it went
Went back to check the crab pots for only 1 large jenny and an undersize buck both released
Seen a patrol boat cruising the river too bad he didnt see the 4 people in the small tinny 2 kids without lifejackets on
Headed over to sth straddie to check out a house we are renting after easter and the main channel near crab island is like the M1
had a quick look around crab island for nothing
back home by 11
heres jacko with his cod and a pic holding up the stargazer
cheers
