Went early on a mates boat today. Took my oldest granddaughter. She is a keen Fisher. It was quite slow , picked up a few pinkies on the reef at the pipeline. Then went to the beach for a gummy. Just one good flattie and a small gummy. Then after half an hour, she was on.

Moved to a small rock and managed a 73cm snapper. Then one of the other kids on board was on big time. We all guessed another pt Jackson. After a huge struggle we started to pay attention. When he yelled it was a huge gummy, everyone rushed down to help. Nope not a gummy, just a 2 MTR Bronzie. Unfortunately in a rush to get it, the line broke and it swam off. He will brag about that one for quite a while. Twice as big as him and no adult helping.
A bit slow but a few highlights

There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Our effort for 2022 . Out at 6am back at 8-30 5mile west in 12-14mtrs. 100% success so far this year. Phoebe had two DBL headers of flatties

Flatty tails and chips cooked by my granddaughter Phoebe. We might not send her home at the end of the holiday. Catches them and cooks them.
