Fishing
Out on water near Bolton Point, looking north toward Warners Bay. Not a fish to be found, at least the view was good.
It’s Fishing & Crabbing We Go, Sea Shanty
When your wife challenges you to write a sea shanty after seeing your shared calendar notification, you take that challenge…and then maybe you cheat a little a use ChatGPT because after all, you’re not a song writer 😜

Hi ho, hi ho, it’s fishing and crabbing we go, With nets in hand, we’ll scour the sand, Hi ho, hi ho!
Hi ho, hi ho, the tides they ebb and flow, We’ll cast our lines and haul the brines, For fishing and crabbing we go!
The salty breeze, it fills the seas, Our traps and bait below, We’ll fill the hold with tales untold, From fishing and crabbing we go!
Hi ho, hi ho, it’s fishing and crabbing we go, The ocean’s call, we’ll heed it all, Hi ho, hi ho!

Went fishing today, caught a pike on a Samaki vibe, got it alongside the boat and as I was netting it, it chewed through the braid. No fish, no lure, just me holding a rod in one hand and a net in the other, wondering what just happened…
A bit of rain headed our way… 🛥️
Caught my first Australian Salmon today, didn’t get a measure on it, but it was about 45cm long and was a cracking fight on light gear.
Couple of screenshots of crazy bait balls from yesterdays lake session. Super thick white bait being cut apart by tailor.
Took the lad out fishing on the lake today, caught a few tailor and a solid flathead. Marked a couple of new spots too, keen to give them another try and see if they’re as productive…
Left my crab traps in overnight, went back out to get them this morning and 3 of the 4 traps had octopuses in them…chucked them back as I could be bothered with all the prep work to get them ready for the BBQ.
New PB (78cm) Dusky Flathead from out in the lake this morning…sent it back to fight another day
A small, approx. 4-5ft long, Hammerhead Shark I caught this morning off of Moon Island, just off Swansea Heads.
Nothing much biting today, at least the weather was nice. ☀️
One of this mornings keepers, a 29cm Yellow Fin Bream, caught in Lake Macquarie.
Bought myself a boat.
He's a squirter!
Caught this little Octopus when we were fishing today down around Marks Point. We let it go, of course.
Not much in the way of fish in here...or they're just not biting. Darling River, near Bourke.
