So after a few months my dad managed to wet a line at laguna( just south of blue lagoon). He got tired of every tom,dick and harry telling him of the mother size shad that were being caught and wanted a piece of the action. First thing he noticed was how close the boats were to shore and fish...

Went on my first proper boat trip in the harbour. Used white crackers as bait. From all the reports over the past few weeks i decided to carry a 10kg rice bag for all the fish i was expecting. After 4 hours of fishing on a incoming spring tide, i got just one nibble, effectively a half cracker...

Unfortunately tide was half out.my uncle got a shad(32cm) and a grunter(41cm), my dad snapped his 14 foot no name brand rod in two on his second cast.
