Today the tide is perfect for fishing. Low tide at 8.30am and
with a rising tide all morning Judy and I headed off in the dinghy to known
fishing spot on the south west corner of Hook Island.
It was a bit windy in the beginning and a very brief spot rain-shower
looked like ruining the day but we persevered and it was not long before Judy
was rewarded with a surprise catch. A big green squid on a fish lure. Never
have I seen that before. Yes, catching squid on a squid lure but not on a small
lure designed to catch fish. Never the less we got it in the bucket and
celebrated with high fives.
Judy continued her good form catching more fish although
non-edible and undersize, I could not land one despite getting lots of hook
ups.
Eventually I changed lures as I think the barbs were worn out on
the other lure and they were not holding the fish.
A new lure did the trick and before long I landed 4 stripey
perch.
That was dinner sorted.
After lunch, we explored in the dinghy and arrived at a little
beach where we met Martin and Judy with Tilly Dog. Tilly was very happy to see
us.
Tonight’s dinner was on Isabella where we had a beautiful entrée
of squid and 4 magnificent fish cooked on the BBQ along with a coleslaw salad.
There was little room for the bar of chocolate in our full tummies.
Very contented we left at about 9pm for a good night’s sleep.
