Got to the ramp 6am, and the new Deckie (Beau) was there keen as mustard first trip off shore here, conditions near perfect we are set to have a great and memorable days fishing. Beau drove the boat out from the ramp as I got things underway in the bait and rig area.
Off to curra's we go spotted some bait on the surface 15 min in to the trip and stopped short of them and said to Deckie could you grab me the Flick stick so up out of the seat and C R A S H down he goes on all 4's ( sea legs had not kicked it yet ) ::)passes the rod but by then the bait had gone down, so off again got out there and found some shows on the sounder and started a drift, cut the motor, and before I had put a hand on the rod Beau ( Barracutta) started his own Burley trail :-[ and frm then on it just continued by this time I had hit the bottom and Bump Bump This is good I think, some solid hits deckie had got a line in by now and I said Ok up line and we will go and anchor up any way, cut the story short, things just did not improve as that sound of the stomack linning trying to part company started :P, the boy was running on empty the gut was dry, :-X a feeling many of us have suffered from time to time and know things start getting real bad from now on. So yep off we set for home it would have to be the shortest fishing trip I have ever done, and one that Beau will want to forget, I have now gone and bought some pills to keep on the boat for Trainee deckies or for round 2 for the 2nd trip for Beau
Sorry....... I know I should have taken Photo's. ;D
But HOW FAR DO YOU GO when breaking in a new Deckie?
Would you have stayed and made him suffer with photo's?
Or be like me and have pitty on the Deckie?
