Fishing
Thank God (or John) for that.
We primarily use our boat and Seagulls for fishing with the kids; we usually throw them all back as they are often undersize.
It was a nice morning last Sunday in our local estuary, 9 fish caught and released before a blustery Southerley change cut the day short.

Re: Fishing
I thought you had big fish in Aus, Is that the live bait you were using.
Great picture, you cant beat a seagull for a bit of fishing, and a warm water outlet to wash the slime off you hands.
I cant wait for our summer.

Re: Fishing
Sorry, I wasn't too sure what you meant....do you throw the kids, the motor or the fish back in?

Breamish Seagull











Re: Fishing
There are some big fish in Australia, we're just not as good at catching them as others:

Sorry, I didn't know the rules, they were examples of fish that can be caught here after someone commented on my son's small Bream. At least this shot has a Seagull in it:
The old stainless tank attracts comments, I think I have heard them all 
So all pictures on this thread need a fish and a Seagull in the same shot

Re: Fishing
I think thats a great idea !
seagull and a fish
I like your tank very much , soft brass is not that practical on a working seagull .
Nice fish by the way , your bream are very close cousins to our snapper , I will be looking to catch and post one in the weeks to come .

Re: Fishing
We finally went for a fish yesterday; it's just been too hot lately to go. The fish we are catching are getting slightly bigger, this caught by the 12 y.o.:
The max temp yesterday was only 28 deg. C, so it was a cracker of a day!

Almost the middle of winter and a rare (for us) catch of the day; a baby Port Jackson Shark caught by one of my Son's friends.
of course we let the critter go free- Williegunn
