Hey everybody,
Fishign has been a little quiet with all of my assesment coming closer to the dealine... oh and the parties, beers and pizzas! Anyway I needed a fix so I went down to the local creek and hooked onto 6 Fortail catfish and a Freshwater eel all of which were caught on chicken thigh and donated to my African buddy so he could enjoy a good chew!
I finally got my ever so positive girlfriend and anti-fisherwoman to come with me for a 'romantic' fish somewhere along a pier near Southport. It was the first time in 7 years and yeah she agreed so I took the window of opportunity and off we went packed up and on the road.
Scheduled for 4:30 start leading up to the 6pm high, I wanted to fish till about 8pm on the run out. Even with some burley, there wasnt much on the chew. BUT i was determined to get the girl on a fish.
Bites were far and few between, I was the first with a Breambo---only 22cm... I was embarrased. and threw the little fella in. Then again about 10 min later... I was on... but nothing to write home about a just legal (which we threw back). She convinced me to up the legal size limit to 25cm and thats what we were aiming for. Bite bite bite... I was trying to teach her how what to look for ...and then back the tip went sic and she striked at the right moment....she was on and I was stoked.
Bring it in! She was estatic and glad to catch a fish that was bigger than mine. 30cm (nothing huge) but she didn't let me forget about it! :-[
Anyway she caught another one at 25cm and again about 2 hours later at 8pm we decided to call it a night. It was just perfect except for the whole couple on a luxy houseboat litrally yelling and screming at eachother for the durationg of our fish. That was what spoiled the night... two people who couldnt give it a rest... and it was depressing to hear people fishting and things slamming, couldn't tell if someone was hitting someone but often wondered who the hell we could report it too since it was on the water?
Anyway enough said... i wasn't going to write a report, but hopefully she has the bug and we can plan another trip together. Theres nothing better than getting the misses into the fishing game! ---as long as she doesn't out fish me! :P
Have a good one fellas! Sorry I didn't bother taking pictures... i dd ask her but she said naye!
until next time.
Good luck!
George. ;D
