…and her fingers end up smelling of fish?Ā
sorry š
We spent the day out fishing with Ian and Jenni (the other ones) up at Exmouth – we had intended to head across to the Murion islands, but the weather was a bit rough (to put it mildly)
We pulled off to the sea just north of the big Navy VLF grid at Exmouth and started trolling – dragging rods through the water as the boat moved.
We caught a decent sized Mackerel – as my first experience of seeing a fish bigger than a trout being pulled from the water, I was quite surprised at the fight it put up – not that much of a shock really, considering that the next thing to happen was a spike to the head and it’s gills cut out. yowch.
After a while, Ian reckoned he had found a good area for bottom fishing – so we pulled up to a halt, and dropped some baited lines to the bottom – I got a bite instantly! two actually:
Jen then went on to catch another snapper herself – but by this point our camera was acting up.
It was a brilliant day – we saw a couple of giant turtles swimming past the boat, and had a great time. Once back on land we scaled the fish and Jenni cooked them on the Barbie – delicious.
