Had the pleasure of spending just over a week recently in Nambucca Heads and what a great spot that was:), stayed at the Van Park adjascent to the breakwall and one day was doing our daily walk with the BIL and happen top pass two old chaps fishing off the wall for Blackfish , said HI:) and kept walking whilst showing some interest in their style of Fishing which had quite a few of the locals participating in chasing these Fish.
On the way back to the Park we pass one of these older Gentlemen heading home quite satisfied with himself from the looks on his face, "Finished for the day" i asked ??..
"Got my bag limit came the reply and kept walking.
Reached his other mate just about packing up for the day also and said to him "The old fella fishing next to you got his bag limit and off home ey :)"
"The young fella!!!" came back the retort lol.
"No the old fella that was fishing next to you"i again said.
Quite angrilly now he spoke a tad louder saying "No!! thats the young Fella!!!, he is 72 and i am 86 " ( somewhere around those figures anyway :) ) lol..
Well that did bring a smile and a chuckle to us and made us feel quite Young ouselves after witnessing these older Gentlemen Fishing in their Prime and DO Wish them MANY MORE years of Fishing of their favourite passtime , if that happens to be their favourite passtime that is :)??..
Just the same it was an introduction to myself towards fishing for these particular species which i enjoyed doing so much.
If any of these two Gents do read this thread i would like to say "Good Onyez" and do wish yous many a more safe Fishing outings and gave me at least confidence towards many more years of Fishing myself lol..
