How good is This!

WOW

How Great Is This Weather!!!!

The Kids and I have been out and about fishing the Oceans and Rivers of Townsville......Haven't caught any fish...But....

Last Sunday I set up the kids rods, I whacked a small sinker and a red float onto Jacks and proceeded out to the wide open sapce of the back yard ;> and started his first ever rod casting lesson.

WELL...

I have created a monster...

Five minutes later and I get the " Dad I can do it myself...."

A week later I'm embarrassed to stand beside him as he puts my casting to shame....


This was this morning down at the local weir - walking distance from home.


I think Kate is going to be a Big Game Fish specialist with the little Rod Jig I made up for her chair



"Hey Kids want do you want to do today, Stay home and play the PlayStation...." "Nahh!!"

(Down the Strand with Jack's mate Keegan)



Keeg's Dad showing me how it's done - I can't cast a net to save myself....


How Good Is This!!!

Ahhh! You lucky Australians. In shorts and tshirts in the middle of winter, and here I am in a long-sleeved t-shirt and it's 6 outside. :) Looks like fun!
