bullethead Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Bullethead here The day started off badly.My brother Dave turns up at 6am and straight away says can I use your dunny?I said what for? Number 2's he says.Aw Davo even I get into trouble for doing that,don't forget to match.Anyway get to Como ramp at near low tide and have to walk boat out to deeper water,not much of a problem compared to the last one.Head out to Towra near the channel markers for starters.Now my brother Dave has never caught a fish [he's 52 by the way],not that he hasn't tried mind you.He's come fishing with me quite a lot but just can't get a decent fish into the boat.Add to that ,he is the clumsiest person I have ever met.Many a time I'm up one end of the boat pulling them in and he's up the other end falling over. Any way not much happening when he says "Where the net".I said "Davo this could be a bigger problem than the first one".Weren't catching any fish so we don't really need one.Head back to my secret spot near Como Bridge and my first cast I pull in a nice bream.Luckily I get it into the boat without a certain piece of equipment.Davo says "I'm going to flick my new Pumpkin Seed Gulp over under that nice new fibreglass thingy tied to the wharf.Oh no this is not as bad a problem as the first one but worse than the second one.First cast he gets nowhere the thingy but manages to take white paint off the mooring pole.Second cast he finds the top of the pole .Third cast and the area echoed with sound of jig head and fibreglass coming together.Come on Davo lets try the Wonny quick!!!. Do a drift from the mouth and I'm feeling sorry for big bro when he says I think I've got your line again.Aw come on Davo not again,hang on I don't have a line out,well I've got something,couldn't be a fish could it?Pull it in Davo stranger things have happened,and Gawd strike me if he doesn't pull in a thumper of a bream.He's got a smile on his face like a school kid and I'm happy for him too.I'm getting good at this,I might start throwing my Pumpkin Seed Gulp around again.Oh my why me?Actually he was getting good at it .He hit water this time,and before you know it he says I think I've got your line again.Davo I said do you think you might have a fish,stranger things have happened.Do you reckon he says.Davo I says.What? he says.Pull it in and he pulls in a good size flatty.We get it into the boat without a net and then Davo says how do you handle them .I says first of all get your foot off his head and pick him up by the mouth let me show you.My thumb will heal in the next couple of weeks ,microsurgery is not necessary.Anyway the rest of the day was uneventful except for Davo falling out of the boat at the ramp and when I got home my darling wife said to me Darling ,did you leave something behind this morning?Yes, i said The net.No she said thats not what I'm talking about.Oh right that was Davo.

Capt Hook Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) He sounds a bit like me..my no 2's are deaadly...and I frequently frustrate my fishing club mates when they take me out on their boats...whinging and whining about how to do things and the rest...I explain that the others tell me to do it that way etc etc...and I've always boated more fish then them...probably why I still get invites to fish on their boats...cause I'm winning...and I keep reminding them too...

bullethead Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 mate thats the funniest report ive read for a while well done to your bro for finally catching some good fish..... how was the bragging with him out fishing you... cheers..steve Steve mate He had every right to brag but he didn't.Tell you what,it's not just the kids you like to see catch their first fish.Many a time after a fishing trip I can see he's disappointed but doesn't whinge.This time he went home happy,but believe me he's so damn clumsy he frustrates the hell out of me.
