Fishing

Went fishing with my dad yesterday (only working half days while he is out here) - and for the first time in my life - I out fished him… kinda.

We started out in Inarajan by a coral drop off that led into a bay. There should be some big fish rinning in and out of the bay through this small opening. Only 1 small problem - we are on land and it is a shear drop off about 25 feet out. When all was said and done - I had cast out ~10 times and lost all my gear (hook and sinker) at least 4 times. My dad was losing his gear 2 out of every 3 casts (he can cast farther then I can and was making it over the coral reef edge).

Next we went down to Malesso (Merizo) and fished off of the pier. The water was deep but we had missed the tides and at got there in the heat of the day… We stayed there for about 3 hours. Luckily we did catch a few fish. Dad caught a small gobi and threw it back, and a small snapper that we kept for dinner. I caught a decent size red wrasse that also was eaten for dinner.

So how did I out fish my dad? Well to be generous - my dad would have needed 3 snappers to come close to the size of my 1 fish. and I admit - I am “bragging too much” - as he would say.
