Wow what a day that was and dad you preety much told the day as it was. One thing i did notice was that u said " Rooster got his first and then Jess expertly wheeled her first ever squid into the boat. Yeah!" well I actually caught the first and ONLY squid for that night and you and Rooster caught yours in the morning while i was happily trying to sleep!
After all the bait fishing i couldnt wait to get out and catch some real fish and expecially my first kingie. All i could think in my head while watching other boats bring them in was ' If i catch one today i am sure in for it as it is taking them a little while to bring them in maybe it will take me all day or ill loose it in the reef ' but besides that i couldnt wait to give it a shot and try and land my first Kingie. So after about and hour of waiting and both my dad and Rooster both had landed theres already but both being under size i finally got onto one of my own and what a fight it was but something i want to get back out and do straight away.
So the day soon ended and i had learnt alot about how a Kingie can just decide its hungry when you are reeling you line in, i really enjoyed the day and cant wait to get back out and do it all again.
Thanks Rooster for all the advice and tips on squiding and being a great help and dad if u didnt put the gimble on me i think i would have gone in for a swim!
One quick thing Dad if u let me fish under the split... what else can i get away with that is illegal ????
