Well - back home again in beautiful Melbourne (hah!), after spending 2 glorious weeks on the fabulous Gold coast, catching and releasing some nice bream in Tallebudgera Creek, spinning up some tailor in the seaway, and spending a great day on the water, courtesy of an Ausfish member, and top bloke...Scalem.
It seems that he was only too happy to show my son, his new wife and I, the sights and joys of boat-based fishing the area.
My new DIL caught her first fish thanks to Scalem, and although she felt a little seasick, and the fish didn't really turn it on on the day, (very little tide, so no run, no fun), we all had a ball on the day - so a big thank you to another selfless Ausfish member!
My DIL has a new bug - fishing. So she can't be ALL bad! Really funny watching her catch a fish, and not be able to bring herself to killing it for a feed, though! All fish caught on the day just HAD to go back, as we weren't allowed to harm them in any way!
So thanks again, B - hope to catch up with you on my next trip up there - when the fish are really firing!
