queensland Fig Tree Pocket on Dusk

[tomca]

Yesterday arvo my girlfriend asks to go fishing. Never, ever would I have expected that. So I grab some frozen prawns from the servo and head for the boat ramp. Noone there and the last ski boat was pulling out as we drove in.

There were a lot of ducks and baitfish jumping in the shallows. I threw out a prawn targeting bream and hopefully not too many catfish. Handed her the rod and gave her the basics. She has zero knowledge or experience with fishing. As I turn around theres a big splash, a shriek from her and all the ducks take off. In comes a 39cm salmon.

Beginners luck. She ended up catching three. Largest went 56cm. I got 2 baby catfish and a small shark that bit through the leader on the beach as I pulled it up.

All went quiet around 8pm so we headed home.

She's hooked now.

I only got a pic of the first salmon then the battery died in the camera.

Going to take the yak down to Raby Bay later and have a go at the canals.

Couldn't help myself, went back to the boat ramp 6ish with the cast net and a rod. Caught 2 prawns and a baby bream. Look what the 2 prawns got me.:cheer:

29 and 35cm. Two casts, two fish. [img size=441]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/100_0405.jpg

nice bream! how did the 35cmer fight?

[tomca]

It didn't fight at all. The line was slack and as I wound it in, the big fella was sitting up against the bank of the ramp so he came straight up outta the water. Bit disappointing. The smaller one took a run for the mangroves, and my poor alveys drag is on its last legs so I thought I might lose him to a snag.

hahaha he probs was lazy after a big christmas feed nice work mate 35cm is a big bream

[obone]

Great catches there Tomca! Always good to see some nice bream up round that area!
