Scratchie Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Hi all, I thought I would share a couple of pics from a few sessions I've have had with my little mates. I just love taking the kids fishing and I try to dedicate time at least once a week to do it. I'm very blessed to live so close to the water which makes it easier. But they love it, so it's worth every minute. "he called this a snapper" close mate! "a fat head" "beach fishing" no good dad no fish! "off the rocks" Then last night, it was beautiful weather so I just had to hit my jewy spot! time for a quiet ale and soak some bait while waiting for the tide. The tide changed and I had 3 lines soaking. One with a live squid, one strip of fresh mullet and one with a live tailor. Right on the change zzzzzzzz off goes the livey! It takes a run of about 50m and I pick up the rod and start to put on some pressure! Pop.... And I've dropped it, my fault. Should have let it run more and swallow the livey. So up comes my crushed tailor and with it my chance of my next big Jew! Although 5 mins later my little mate shows me how it done! Hope you enjoyed the read and you have to admit, there's no place like Port Stephens! The eldest.......he read the post and said where am I? How could I forget him!!! And my beautiful girl.... She a good a fisho as her mum! Don't really like taking them. Lol Cheers scratchie!!! Edited May 12, 2013 by Scratchie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo61 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Excellent to see the young ones getting into fishing - keep em at it. Although mine are a little older and not as keen as when they were younger (the internet, huge loads of homework, etc) when they do come for a fish I am proudest dad out there. BTW beaut part of the world up there. We used to holiday around Nelson Bay, Tea Gardens, Hawks Nest. You are very lucky. Jimbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbdshroom Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Haha, I cracked up on 'fat head'. Definitely enjoyed that read. May you have many happy fishing adventures together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumb Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Nice work mate. I holiday up there each year. I think your living the dream. how good Is it watching the kids work a fish, and the smile once its in the boat. If there like my son, he wanted to eat everything the catches "fat heads" are the preferred fish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Stalker Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 That is awesome Scratchie. I love the little ones getting into the action also. Some of my fondest memories are fishing with my dad and uncles when I was young. I'm sure they treasure it as much as you. Keep up the good work bud.

Scratchie Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Thank you to all that replied and your kind words! I love taking the kids fishing and the memories for them will sure last a lifetime! It's a great way to bond with your kids and get outdoors! With our everyday busy schedules we sometimes forget to take the time we need for ourselves and our families! So get out there and enjoy!

SMn Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Hahaha my daughter calls everything snapper! Makes me feel like a gun when she tells people I keep catching snapper, when its usually sambos and tailor... My little fella thinks every fish is a shark and my ego builds even further! Hahaha... Well done mate! A great read! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
