W4z Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hi guys and girls, Haven't been able to get out for a fish much lately. Recently had a bub who is 6 weeks old now. His mums gone off to college for 4 days leaving me to look after him. The first thing he said was 'lets go fishing dad!' So down the road, into the sling and off for a flick we went. Conditions weren't great for the little fella with the winds (this was yesterday morning) and me walking backward to keep the sun off him. I knew that it couldn't be a long session but thought we'd get a few casts in after coming all this way. About 8 casts later a fish sucked the lure down! Woohoo Finns first fish! I'm sure he would have been excited but right at that moment he realised he was hungry. I grabbed some of the chilled breast milk out of my back pack only then to realise I had no way of warming it up. Haha the fun things you learn as a parent. Lucky the sun was shining strongly and it didn't take long. A great first trip with the little fella. Can't wait for more moments like these. The flathead went about 45cm on the old handspan measurer. Cheers Waz Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock&Beach Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Great report mate. I am sure the will be plenty of more outings to come. At least Finn didnt break you favorite rod on his first outting like my son did. At least I had an excuse to buy a new rod. .... Not that I need one Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
