My house
Bloody excellent, [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
The wife's on the ball [smiley=heart.gif]. Woke up Tuesday to a 'Put this blindfold on'. Next I know I'm on a houseboat in the broadwater and it's not even my birthday. Seems she thought I needed a break from work [smiley=help.gif]. After settling in and droping the pots, having a swim and a bit of a fish at wave break it was time for the night drinkies with a couple of freinds. With everyone getting drunk [smiley=freak.gif] [smiley=dizzy.gif] [smiley=drunk.gif] and poker winnings of plastic chips not being real exciting we upped the stakes to dares of eating lemons, live crabs, yabbies, swiming a good distance in the dark and sculls [smiley=shocked2.gif]. OK enough nonsence and time for bed. A late wake, time to give offshore a peak. Getting a bit messy so a quick run around close (12 fath to Mermaid) to see what's around. A couple macks and tuna joined us aboard and time to return as getting a bit messy on the falling tide. The 2 pots held 6 good bucks which was great as I love my crab [smiley=thumbsup.gif]. Decided a quick run to the Pin before returning the houseboat for a couple of flatties and bream (all released). When the wife pulled a remora and thought it was a small cobes, I tried convincing her to give it a pat on the head but she knew I was up to some evil (especially when it wouldn't let go of the eskie lid). A good trip but always ends up back in the real world. Just makes getting away even better

The swim dare victim, lots of burley in the water beforehand.
He decided to swap me the yabbie for my crab as the yabbie wasn't going down without a fight
Always chew your food- especially when they have pichers
Don't think crunching the crab worked out to be a much better choice
What the wife got while we were offshore.
Our 1 & half hour catch was better.
The cobes.
Sorry, meant the sucker fish. And I know, I'm an idiot and yes, yabbies do taste just like lobster- try one.
sounds like you had a good few days
wish my missus would do something like that for me.
Gotta love houseboats....always fun...sounds like a great trip!!!
Good to see some variety in the Fising Reports section!! Some daring photos, love the yabbie on the tongue! Half your luck, Getting away on a Tuesday to boating, eating, drinking and fishing. Appears you did quite well too from you catch of crabs and macks!!
How jealous am I?!
Cheers,
Hutcho
