one proud dad

 

 

d The day started at 5.30am with me waking my 6year old daughter to fish in her first fishing comp.

To my suprise she was more than keen even tho her last trip ended in sea sickness.We were at bunbury power boat club all signed in and on the water by 6.45. Izzy told me she wanted to catch a dhufish and a shark. So we headed to a little lump 13nm out.It was on within the first 5mins with Izzy catching a 5kg dhufish and my old man landing a undersize one.Dift two saw 3pinkies landed and a7kg gummie.Drift 3 and it was on again with Izzy landing a under size dhu myself a black ass big sambo and a nanni on jig while my old man a little baldie and a nice kg whiting.

One more drift resulted in afew more fish of various species.So the call was made to head home early with a nice catch in the esky.

Not really any big fish but watching Izzy catch her first dhuie was better than any 20kg dhufish i have ever caught.To say I was proud is a huge understatement.

Great effort for a 6yr old, plenty more trips to come I'm sure! 

 

Took ok my eldest out a little too early which put her off a bit, all good now when other commitments dont come first, I love nothing more than heading out far with a few mates but will swap that for a short trip with the daughter every time!

Hard to tell but I suppose the spot on the back and the bald lower jaw gives it. On first glance I thought a faded Harley but Im known for stuff ups fishing wise
