Yes folks, this is not a fairytale.
My 5 y/o Daughter ( Brooke ) outfished me over Easter.
I took her to the calm water on Easter Monday, a little place called Kauri Creek.
I baited her rig and sent it in. The rest of the story goes like thus:-
Blackall- 45cms, Squire-30cms, Fingermark- 27cms, Grass Sweetlip- 28cms, Flathead-55cms and a bloody 30cm Barra-bloody-mundi. :o :o This kid was reeling them in as fast as I could bait a hook.
Other fish included 35cm Tailor and 25cm Pike. The Cheese & Kisses was also donging Squire hand over fist. This action took place from right on low tide and lasted for near on 2 hours. Lost count of fish that came to the boat. Kept only 2 for dinner that night. ( the pics are coming ).
Camped at Dorrigo camp ground, Inskip. Crowded again, but no so noisey. But, I tell ya's, it was Dog-a-thon. Yap yap, here, yap yap there, here a yap , there a yap................ ::)
OH Yeah, I also managed a Spottie and some Whiting at Big Mick. Plenty of birds working, but most fish were still small.
The channel at Inskip was calm as usual in the S/E winds, and made a great swimming place, water sking was the go. The main beach at Rainbow has a nasty shore dump on the in Tide, but the scenery :o, sure made up for that.
Some rain, some XXXX, a great camp fire and generally, not a bad few days away. The Rangers are friendly. The Police are everywhere ( seat belts & speeding ), Fisheries at the ramps and in Rubber duckies, sandflies & mozzies were quiet.
For those of you how are serious about heading up that way, and want to have a crack at Kauri Creek, pm me for the ( reef ) location. ;)
Thanks to " opimax' for droping by. definately do THAT trip soon. Actually , today, Tuesday, it glassed out up there, bugga !
Sorry about being light on in detail, but I only got home 3 hours ago, and just finished unpacking. :P
Maybe I'll add more tomorrow night.
Cheers Phill
