Ribs Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Went out yesterday on the last of the run out for a 3 hour flick with my young fella and my mate who has now been converted to using plastics, no bait on my boat ! We caught 4 flatys at 45 48 56 68, and my son caught a blacky on his lure, which got him excited, he will be 6 in 2weeks and he has now earned a decent new fishing rod/reel for his bday. He can now cast and retrieve so I'm proud he his developed the skills to flick lures and most importantly always keen for a qik flick with daddy! Gave the two smaller models to a family fishing from the shore, they were pleased to take home a feed. Also over the weekend we got 8 muddys, released 3 big Jenny's and kept 5 bucks, biggest at 2.3kg. Once again flatys fillets for the kids and srilankan style crab curry for the adults. Thanks to all the diggers for doing what they did so we can all enjoy what we do???????????????? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Great report Ribs and especially the before and after shots of your catch. I hope that your son and yourself get to spend heaps of time together on the water. Life's good eh? Special thanks to all of the people past and present who have provided us with the freedom which we cherish today. bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
