Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

What to add to about a fantastic afternoon with some terrible people , bullying, heckling ,bullshit and laughter, that was just the kids having a go, let alone the other two VC and Roktoy !

Finally hunting the home turf ,set sail out into the flats, another day with the sun on our backs which saw the young folk wet suited up were straight into the tide, just need to attach them to a net now and then.

Out we set into the promised channel….perfect warm deep water very little weed ..set to dragging …SNAG…bugger me ..Roktoy waded out cleared the snag , we got back to dragging, hauled the net before the next visible snags, wow some flats ,chucked a few shorts back and kept a couple keeper.

Changed channels but found to many horse mussels in the area so got out and moved up stream , back in dragged a few more sorts and Keith see’s some movement in the mud an inch long flounder amongst the weed, show the kids and a photo and back it went.

Low tide we returned to the original channel but further up, checked for snags ..all clear . Beauty, set to dragging boom ..ray..into shore ,shook out the ray, hello a couple of flats, same again and again not sure but I’m thinking it was the same bloody ray, but each time we gathered a feed of keepers chucked back some shorts.

The flood was slow and spreading out over the estuary rather than pushing up the channel. Time was called and we cleaned our fish washed them carefully ( untill some idiot dropped one in the mud) …bloody stingray the hamfisted ..then we washed them again.

Wandered home yarned , shared a beer ,showered the kids , said our goodbyes . Headed for the shower. What another great adventure !
