Fun yesterday
Submitted by gav077 on Mon, 2010-06-14 21:04
Went out for a fish yesterday from Hillary's and had a ball jigging up sambos in 27 metres of water. We landed over 25 sambos in a few hours. Great fun on light gear, never realised just how hard these things pull for thier size. The biggest was around 10 kilos and the rest were 7-8 kilos

Good Fun
Sounds like you had a top session Gav. That's a mountain of fish in very little time. I'm sure you wish it could always be like that.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

at least then you would have
at least then you would have more than 3 days of eating fish. still cant believe you scoffed 2 whole sambo's in 3 days. those kids of yours must love their fish. its about time you taught them to catch their own dinner :) .

What can I say, the boys
What can I say, the boys really like their fish and don't worry they are pestering me to take them out. they're just a little too young at the moment to take them out there. I still cant trust them enough
