Burger Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 My girlfriend used to go fishing with her dad many years ago, however never for blackfish with him. I said I would take her with me one day and that day was today. What a glorious day! A mate had chosen a really good spot, well suited to a beginner and out of the wind. Lis quickly got the hang of casting and was soon baiting her hooks as well. My mate got the first few fish, with Lis was patiently enjoying the fishing. Well, to say she was excited when she hooked a fish was an understatement! To then land it as well. . . there was a bit of jumping around happening! And not 'just' a fish, a 40cm brute! I dropped a couple, Lis got another and so did my mate. Things were feeling a bit grim for me and it was looking like Lis wasn't coming fishing again ? Fortunately I eventually got one, then another *phew*, Lis CAN come fishing again! They both got another each, so we finished up with a good bag.

big Neil Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Well done Burger, Lis and friend on a nice bag of fish. 40cm for her first fish, she must still be jumping around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Saw the pics, Burger. Good session guys and good onya Lis. Burger, 'your mate' owes me a coffee and cake, but I think he is in hiding...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burger Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Thanks fella's, couldn't have done it without my mates help. Lis's dad passed away a couple of years ago, so it was a little bitter sweet for her as well. She did say 'How chuffed he would have been to see it' as did her ex when dropping off their kids last night. However, Neil is quite right . . .. she is still jumping around with a big smile on her face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burger Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Stormy, we had coffee and cake for him yesterday which he passed up. Said something about a 6 pack. Pretty sure he meant the XXXX type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
