Sussex Inlet for a week

[Get The Net]

Hi all as mention my wife and I went down to Sussex for the week, I have been looking forward to this holiday for a while as my wife has had a battle with Breast Cancer the last 12 months and she needed some time for some R & R . I had updated my old mid 60's De Havilland to a model later 70's De Havilland which took a bit to get it all up and running, I didn't get it into the water in Sydney so finger crossed. Morning time so down to the ramp to see if the boat would float as it had a lot of little holes from the transducer well 40 minutes and no water so down to get the fuel primed it up and she kicks then nothing I thought that's strange all ok at home, so I checked the hose the primer again and it didn't go hard so I thought no fuel so I checked the connector to the fuel tank and no fuel checked the fuel connector on the tank and found the pick up hose fell in the tank. So I rowed the boat around to the wharf and tie it up, cut the hose I had and connected to the pick up and pressdo it started. So now to fish the water was so clear I could see plenty of fish so I was thinking I might get a fish or two, well Day One and I was thinking does it get any better than this sitting in the boat wetting a line results 2 undersize 1 borderline bream so put back for next time and 1 Flattie (dinner). Day Two this time my wife came out with me which made it a special trip as we didn't know if this was going to happen again in our life so after a couple of hours a few little one's nothing special, so I met a guy that was staying at the same place and he became my fishing buddy we fish for 4 hrs and I had my best day on the boat 27cm bream & 45cm trevalley this was awesome took a while to get it a big smile on my face and 10 odd undersized.Day Three Rain no fishing.Day Four I had my fishing mate again this time back to earth couple of undersized but still had a great time.Day Five and my Wife again came out and Donna was determine to get a fish this time, her reel had a run but nothing I managed to get a 30cm & 35cm Taylors, as this was last fishing we stopped in the canal and Donna caught a 19cm trumpter (Boat record). So in the end we had a great week and can't wait till next time

P.S. We stay at Mounties Cabin on the Canal worth a look if you are going down there.

Sounds like a great week relaxing and fishing Steve. No doubt the highlight was having the wife there with you

Looking forward to many more reports from you and the missus.

Thats my old boat!

Good to see you got her back on the water, any dramas with the fitout?

Some beautiful fish there. I bet that silver trevally went hard.

I do believe that is a tarwine, and not a bream in your photo.

Glad to see you missus getting amoungst them. I must admit, I enjoy getting my better half out with me.
