Gold Coast fishing


It’s winter and fishing time. We’re off to go and catch some snapper, Jew fish, king fish and anything else that’ll bite. I was a bit over enthusiastic dressing in only shorts and thongs as the first 2 hours I am truly freezing my tits off. The fishing is good, we catch a lot of keepers. And then it happens, one of us has got something big. The rod bends deeply, the owner is fighting for every inch of line, when all of the sudden he is almost pulled into the water. It takes 10 seconds for my mate to find back his feet and reel in what was supposed to be a monster. But... only the head comes up, the rest has been eaten by a monster shark.
I catch the largest fish of the day: a nice shark. We see plenty of Whales and a dolphin enjoys jumping on the waves of our wake.
My mate loses his hat on the way back. Check the picture: hat, no-hat.
