queensland Help! I've created a monster!

After being nagged all day yesterday and this morning by my 8 year old girl, I took her to the Brisbane River for a spot of fishing.

Well she proceeded to hand me an ass whooping, Chelsea boated many fish, Bream, Squire, a Shovelnose, a cod and to many Catties both big and small. I nailed Moses Pearch, a Pike eel, Bream, Squire, a large Ray and heaps of Catties.

Chelsea started keeping score,to realy rub it in. I started to teach her The differance in the way fish fight (big mistake). Every fish she hooked was being called out to the world. She even started to tell me what I had on.:ohmy:

But that was'nt enough for her, she demanded to be shown how to bait her own hooks:blink: .

She had a ball, and I was so happy to be there and see her enjoying fishing so much. Now Chels is starting to nagg me about \"fishing tomorrow Dad?\":laugh: I'm stoked:woohoo:

:laugh: nice one chubster shown up by your 8yr old daughter dont worry i usualy get shown up by my 9 yr old sister :laugh: i find the best way to get on top of things is to not put any bait on her hook :blush: that way she dosent show me up :blush: or put some of the local weed on her hook telling her its great bait

[rumrunner]

I hope Santa is bringing her one of those Durango, (or even ugly stick if he is feeling generous), pink combo's!

[faulked]

dont feel bad mate my 6yr old puts me to shame most times:) it sure is nice though

[Feral]

You are yet to suffer the indignity of her winning the classic twice in a row when you dont even come close to getting a place!

Hopefully you might experience that next year! (So I dont go for 3 in a row!)

Good on ya mate.

My dad and I used to go fishing constantly when I grew up and it really gives you some common ground. If I ever have kids I'll be making murals out of Sx40s :laugh: And hanging the above the cot.

That rod looks a little oversized huh? Maybe someone needs their own rod for chrissy?

Great report Chubs - can I borrow her for next years BRC comp.

Hahah well done mate thats awesome. Easier to covince the mrs you can go out if its Father-Daughter time

Good one chubbstar. And good on Chelsea too. Great day for sure. During the classic I took the boys out with me twice and Dan (8) was just bringing them in one after the other while Mitch and I just kept looking at each other and shaking our heads.

He always does it. About 6 months ago around the Pin I just watched him outfishing the rest of us as usual so I stopped to figure out why, and I think I've got it sussed.

When fishing from the boat as a family we normally all just soak baits. I always tell the boys and wife not to keep winding in so I don't have to recast for them all the time and get to have a go myself. Dan's the least obedient - and that's why he catches more - he keeps the bait moving;) Also he's just a lucky prick.

I think its his shirt:P

\"I may be undersized but my fish never are\"

:silly:

Haha - might have to see if it fits me...:silly:

Know the feeling Ive got a 10 yr old daughter does the same thing,has been for years.And she likes to tell everyone when and how often she out fished you.

Not a problem for me but I think it grates on her 18 yr old brother.

Good photos!

good work jayson, a tip get her using lures, that means no more baiting of hooks :) more time for you to fish

Good stuff chubbs you will have to put her in next years comp:woohoo: just as long as you dont use her fish to win prizes for yourself:P :laugh:

[faulked]

well done chelsea that must have been quite a struggle on that big rod you need to be very good and santa might get you one your size but you will have to be very good :) :)

[Dimo]

Personally I think nothing beats taken ya kid out for a fish, Looks like you got your self a new fishing partner.

[bootyinblue]

Well done Chelsea on all the fish you caught. You need to ask Dad now to buy you a rod that is more your size and especially pink so that its really cool, and tell him if he doesnt then you will report him for to me for making you use a 7 foot boat rod with a huge reel on the end that is really heavy to hold with one hand while you wind in the fish..

Chubs >>> Over to you now to get a rod under the tree!....Sorry but 'make hay while the sun shines'.
