queensland Took My Son And His Son Out This Morning

[Dinodadog]

Took my son and my grandson out for a fish this morning.It was a costly exercise, my grandson hit the end of the rod he was using while trying to net a lousy catfish for his father. Result rod overboard and poppy $200 out of pocket,last 2 trips he done with me only cost $30 each time for tangled braid.Anyway we had a good morning with bass, yellabelly,catfish and even a lungy.

Yep, it costs to be a good granddad, you know the old saying, "no good deed goes unpunished"

But think of it this way, time on the water with the family is "priceless!" These memories cannot be bought so get them whilst you still can!

Hey Dinodadog

Nice session there, it must've been a good variety.

Did you get a photo of the lungfish? How do they fight? (I'm very curious because I've never really heard about them, apart from the fact they're rare and protected).

Cheers Hamish

Good day for the Dadog generations. How'd your son find the fishing compared to his epic deep sea trips ?

Good family day out there Dino despite the rod loss and pretty special to catch a lungfish

They put up a good fight, only trouble is they dont stop if you bring them in the boat, you can end up with half your gear in the water.Grandson took a pic of it in thewater on his phone.

He likes the fresh, as thats where all my kids started, in northern NSW. Trip he just got back from with the older brother wasnt up to par and caused nearly $6000 damages to the boat, welds broke on most of the stainlees steel.I still ended with a bag of fish.

Rightio Dinodadog, I'll know NEVER to do that in the kayak if I ever land one. Probably would be taking it to the shallows to deal with any one I caught.

You mean it would take you to the shallows

I'd love to see one up close instead of the distant swirls I normally see.
