Fishing and stuff

[Funchy]

5 Days in 1770 spent with my girls and a couple of my favourite mates and their family, does it get any better? The weather wasn't perfect but it was bareable for fishing in the estuaries. We had a couple of shots of offshore (In close) but there really wasn't much happening. My mate (12vlt) and I had to juggle entertaining the kids, keeping his missus happy and getting in a serious fish. There was plenty of good food consumed, beers and laughs. We caught a variety of fish with all the usual suspects of cod, flatty, bream, grunter, whiting, barra but no jacks this time

All fish were released as my mate had plenty stocked up for our arrival.


My girls spent plenty of time in the water swimming and tubing and exploring the mangroves and sand flats at low tide.

We shot out this morning for one last stab at a jack but only landed a bream, good grunter (my girls) and I hooked up to a nice barra on my sliiy string (6lb Nanofiland 12 lb leader) but dropped it after it had leapt 4 times and rubbed me off

All in all we had a blast and will be heading home tomorrow

Here are a few pics

?..... How were the sand flies?

The night we fished for jacks and I got the barra there were none surprisingly despite it being a calm night. On the last day when we went out in the morning I had to tie the girls to the boat otherwise they would have been carried off!!! That was a very still and humid morning. About noon it poured rain for 5 hours
