    It was too good not to go out again this morning despite yesterdays slaughter.
    Flat calm no wind and nice and overcast we caught 9 in just over an hour and came back in to clean up.
    Beautiful one day perfect the next.

    No longlines and no bycatch was an awesome weekend of fishing.

    So here you go Stingray. Fashion yourself a home made Hawaiian Sling, go snorkeling in a favourite spot and catch a fishy.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded

    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt

    Mum wanted to go fishing today, its her 69th birthday and Dad was committed to the second stage of a 4man golf comp so the responsibility fell to me.

    Pretty average conditions with the north easter this morning so the snapper were off the bite as is often the case with the easterly.

    There was no chance of the young fella going to daycare while fishing was happening so he came along and proved to be the days champ hooking two kingfish.

    This was the first 74cm...so a quick hug and back over the side.



    Its a bloody big fish for a nearly 4 year old to let go i tell ya. It was followed quickly with one of the same length caught buy mum.

    During the fight i cut my line as it became tangled in it and we wernt sure of the size at that point. So while re-tying my line i hear a "ziiiiiiing...dad help" and turn to see the young fellas little green rod bent double in the rod holder.

    It was a slow patient fight. Ten or so minutes and mostly handled by me but there was no chance this one was getting let go.



    All were caught on baited flasher rigs.

    Who says you need a flash rod for kingfish....



    Mum reckons she will never forget it

    Now time for some hunting

    Mate that’s the fishing equivalent of insider trading. You should forfeit the prize.

    Good stuff Gibo

    Question for ya.....Tuna great fresh and raw....not bad fresh and panfried with some stuff on the outside.
    But what do you do with frozen fish or do you smoke all you cant eat fresh and freeze that?
