I am sure he will add his comments and thank me for teaching him how to fish. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfish Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 You should be proud on what a good teacher you are and he must be humbled that you let him catch that fish as well. Nice bag to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 6 in the boat which is what we normally keep and then the big one came aboard about 1100 am. A picture at sea always looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When trolling we twice had marlin hitting lures with their bills but not taking the lure. Also nearly ran over one when running back in. Could have been a very big day.

big Neil Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Ah that bittersweet moment when you realise that you taught them TOO WELL. Great catch. His turn to put you onto one now. Looks like you got plenty for the table anyway. Good luck. bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Awesome Bruce! Probably the only time I don’t mind being out fished is when one of my kids do it to me! Just like the other day. Although don’t let it happen to you too many times. The banter on the way home is not funny! 🤔 cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordoRetired Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) That looks like a good days fishing, great catch with the big Dolly. Must have been a different FAD to the one I went to on Thursday, I trolled Yakkas around both the Sydney FAD and the Wave Rider, then from there back to the FAD. All I got was one Kinggie at the Wave Rider and that as just undersized. 😞 Edited February 12, 2021 by GordoRetired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fished sydney south FAD when we got there started our first drift about 200m from FAD son had a big run then solid weight on a large yakka but didn't hook up. He wasn't happy thought he'd blown his chance at a big one. Once we got close to the fad and other boats the small livies provided 1or 2 fish every drift. Most of the boats were fishing large livies and were struggling to get fish. There was a very slight current running to the north and the fish were not there in any quantity.

Oscarthebeagle Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Yes dad thankyou for teaching me to fish, however this was my trip out wide on my boat you just found out i was going and tagged along. However once i hooked this fish i was very glad you were there to drive the boat and gaff it for me. I will post a separate full report Ash 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Great when the apprentice shows up the master - you’ve raised him well Bruce and given him a lifestyle that is healthy fun (and expensive) but will stand him in good stead for the future.
