Fishing on the Swan River

So as blokes we have now added one more good "aussie-ism" to our belt and all become expert fishermen! As I had a day out with Marc, Glynn and Ollie fishing on the Swan river because the boys all got fishing rods and gear from Santa this year.

Armed with expert knowledge from books, the internet and some odd pieces I knew from various fishing trips over the years (thanks Dad). We were pleasantly surprised when after randomly chosing an area of the river up in the swan valley up by Glynn's we actually caught some fish..... Now as the old saying goes "size doesn't matter", especially as we were concentrating on technique, tackle and bait, so 5 fish in our first outing will do nicely.

Being good responsible fishermen we let them all go (as you will understand when you see the pictures) after identifying them as Black Bream.

So a successful trip and one step closer to justifying our boat that we are going to buy between us, some time before we retire ;o)
