Gone Fishing …

Today, we planned to go fishing. A nice break, just fishing … how relaxing.

The chick’s water feeder broke this morning, so I had to get a new one today so that the chick’s had a water supply. While we were at the shop buying the water feeder, we saw a nice feeder that was much larger than their current one … so we got a new feeder as well. The old feeder held about 0.5 kilo of feed and I was filling it every morning and night, the new one holds 1.5 kilos of feed, so now I will only need to feed the chicks once a day, of course I will still be checking the chicks before and after work every day.

We went fishing at about 1pm and went to McGee’s bridge. This is a bridge over a large seawater bay in southern Tasmania. Mostly … we catch flathead.

My lovely wife was the first of us to hook a fish, she caught a mullet. It was a little bit small, so back in it went.

We caught some flathead a cocky (a young salmon) and my daughter thinks that she caught a bream … but I’m not so sure. It came off the hook just as she was landing it.

We had a lovely time on the bridge having a nice fishing adventure. Next weekend, we hope to go a little bit further down south and do some rock fishing. There was a nice spot that we found that has some nice rock ledges and rock-pools. If we get bored fishing, we can poke around in the rock-pools.
