Holidaying Down South.

Again, a belated report, the main reason is that I’m slack.
Well, the Blackfish Family and Dog, with the Maltese Falcon Family and dog, headed down the coast to Pambula Beach, we’ve never Holidayed down there before and our normal place we stay which is at Tathra there was no vacancy’s maybe because of Covid and when people had to book no one was sure what restriction would be in place for travel.
Pambula is a great place with a good Pie shop, Bottle shop, Craft Brewery which unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to visit and a nice estuary.
This is just Estuary, Bread and Butter family fishing and just enjoying being on the water.

Before we arrived, they had had some huge amounts of rain up in the mountains so the water was pretty discolored but it wasn’t to worry us because we were on holidays.
Our firsy mission was to get some bait but unfortunately the beach worms were hard to get but that may have been because of all the rain and big seas.

Just before we pulled up stumps on this day Caity hooks what we believe was a big Eagle Ray which we had seen a few in shallow water previously.
She fought it for nearly half an hour when the line final gave way. It would have been good to see it but she enjoyed the fight

Back at the house we were staying at the dog got given a soft toy and for some reason she though an examination of what was inside would be a good idea. She was so happy with the result.

She Bloody loves going on holidays, we would walk her a couple of times a day and there were plenty of Kangaroos for here to look at.

Pambula River estuary always turned on a few fish, nothing special, just Bread and butter species.

The weather was average for the time we spent down there but it didn’t really stop us doing anything. Though the dog got very tired, a couple of walks a day and playing with our friend’s dog. She was stuffed at the end of the day,

A few drinks were had at the end of the day.

But for a family holiday it was fantastic.

Just one more thing, is everyone we struck were nice. Living in a big city nice people are harder to find. I guess it’s the relaxed environment.
Thanks for reading.
