G;Day Folks
Your old bonza mate here,
Just to keep you informed that today I went fishing with my new Ausie mate Keith (all Keith's fish) he's a right dincum bloke, we set out in his tinny (a small aluminium dinghy with a outboard) in the UK one wouldn't go across the pond in one but here they are made of harder stuff and set sail in anything that floats, the beauty of it is if you capsize or fall in you don't die of Hypothermia, or Gastric-enteritis you just swim ashore.
So I was collected from the slip way at 06.00 by this time Keith had already caught the bait by using a casting net (remember pictures of Jesus casting nets same thing) We set of at break neck speed for the outer breakwater the boat was only in the water long enough to project us another 3ft above the oncoming waves before crashing down again with a spine breaking crack. On reaching the fishing area Keith had chosen, this happened to be the end of the breakwater were the two waters meet making it very rough water, Keith gave a quick rundown on the fishing techniques and off we started .You will all be pleased to know that I didn't let the Pommie side down and had two in the boat before Keith got a bite. The actual fishing was prolific with fish coming in the boat every couple of minutes. these fish fight like hell and we both love the noise of "Screaming Reels" Keith is very hot on conservation and only legal size fish were taken so lots were returned to fight another day, After three hours of being tossed around like a cork in a bottle we eventually ran out of bait and decided to call it a day.
On returning to the jetty the fish were cleaned and filleted, heads, scraps and bits were thrown to the waiting pelicans, Boat hauled onto the trailer and off for a cappuccino at Keith's house that is only 200 yards from the jetty
Now if anyone can think of a more perfect day then you must tell.
