paddy69 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 G'day Raiders, my six year old daughter bought me a telescopic rod from the $5 Fathers day stall at school. As soon as it came out of the packet my two year soon claimed it. He kept saying "boot...boot" meaning boat. Unfortunately we didn't have time due to a family brunch (where I am typing thisî„…). So we walked down to the Cooks River to flick SPs and Henry (2 year old) could stick his new rod in the water... He doesnt get fishing yetî—. It was beautiful on the jetty, the kids were having ball and my 6 year old daughter was even casting... Not bad. Anyway we flicked plastics with not much luck. The kids loved it... Even ch7 news came and filmed us for their fathers day report!!! Unfortunately just after they left I picked up this 50 plus cm flattie! Possibly the biggest fish I have ever caught and my first on SPs (a 2in pumpkin seed minnow). Happy Fathers day raiders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebottle18 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Great catch. I don`t fancy eating fish from that section of the river. It also contains a lot of bream of good size in that bay. Enjoy the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
