took the day off from work to go fishing with my Dad

got on the water early and headed for the first baths past the Cook's river

slight northerly blowing so it looked like a good drift

cast out my little 4 pound outfit and get a good hit first cast (happy birthday I think to myself )

dropped it

anyway we kept a nice drift going and after 20 minutes Dad's on

short tussle and he lands a nice flounder

after a pic he's released

keep drifting and all is quiet for a while ,then Dad's on again ( don't these fish know it's my special day )

put's up a bit of a fight and i net a nice 54 cm flattie for him

wind is starting to really blow now and i'm doing it tough ,3 bites in 3 hours

get near Doll's pt and i feel lucky ,have caught some good fish here in the past

reel goes off

but it's not mine , Dad's on again and lands another flattie at 41 cm's

we come back a bit and do a drift again and Dad gets another Flounder (FAIR DINKUM )

a bit small so he goes back aswell

tried a bit round the 16 foot sailing club for zip and went back for another drift along Lady Robinson

i got a couple of touches but nothing exiting so we headed for the ramp

today was not my day, but Sunday may be the one , (fingers crossed )

Your Dad had a good day and sure fished well on your birthday ay Roylo. I've got an idea he loves his fishing and was pretty happy to be out on the water

I always ran second when I went with my dad even years after he retired, and he would have hammered me even going easy on my birthday.

Cheers mate and nice flathead and flounder and when one fires well the other is around too.

It all made it a very happy birthday and have many more good birthday results Roylo.
