Today dad (kingtin) and I went out in the pine for my birthday. I brought my new rod that dad got me. We left the boat ramp at 6:45am.
First we put out the 8 pots and then we went to a good fishing spot that dad found last trip out. We anchored up threw our lines out within 30 seconds of the first cast I was hooked when we got it to the surface it was a bream of 30 centimetres long. After 15 minutes dad got a nice fish that ran really fast It took 50 metres approx off his spool within about 10 seconds but then dropped the hook. We got a few more nice bites and I got my second bream of 28cms and dad got a crab by another hour but we had ran out of bait due to the crabs.
For the next 2 hours we went looking for herring for bait and we got some but we got way more prawns than we did hering we got a full bucket of them. We headed back to the fishing spot for the rest of the afternoon. I got another two bream of 25cms and dad got three estuary cod all undersize by a couple of centimetres.
After we had enough fishing for the day we decided to pack up all the rods and bring in the crab pots so we could go home. Out of all the crab pots and crabs we had caught on hooks we got 19 crabs, 12 of which were jennies and only one buck was keepable.
I think this is the first time I have out fished my dad and I think it will be the only time I will out fish my dad.
