I was kept busy for a long while ,and madam was putting the other anglers to shame

Eventually the wife got in on the action ,it was like a shad run

So by the sounds of it, the girls outdid the boys!

 

[boepens]

Ok I got a few throws in to save face for the boys
If it was a comp the little one hammered us most specie heviest bag biggest fish.
Jo I took a beating ,and no amount of steal met die oog was helping

So let's get to the other part of this post
We went down to the beach and jolled there awhile and then the boss wanted to swim in the river
While there I noticed some rather large shadows in the water ,they where very skittish but eventually I got close enough for a I'd
I knew there where grunter in the lagoon but not this size they where nice from about 40cm to 60cm and quite a few too
I stalked them for a while and got within 5m of them
I doubt they'll bite in the day tho
It was keen to see they wouldn't swim over the weed areas only the sand.
Here's a pic of us checking them out
I wonder if a fly would work ?

That is some nice family fun and that place looks awesome..is that prawnholes in the last photo?Where is palms lagoon ?

Nice one Boep - one thing i`ve learnt during years of angling, include the family where possible, then you`re doing something you love with the ones you love ;-) A true win win situation!!!

My little boy doesn't like fishing at all although he`s caught plenty fish, i`ll take him back to the dam when he`s a little older though and try again!

Palm springs is a holiday resort near east london on the kidds beach side
The sea looks even better ,and good fishing is to be had
Those r prawn holes ,the population is good as u can see
Here's a pic of one spot I fish for sharks and cob

i was also shocked at the size of the spotties in that river. if u wait long enough they come close to u. but no drop shot or bait gets them to bite. with all those prawns i dont blame them. i have also seen a decent pig nose in the river and a kob of about 5kg but that was at the narrow end at the top.
