It’s just on dawn. Today is the day.
We get to the secret spot within the hour. Cocktail of a Pilly and squid on the hook and drop the line.
I look around, not a ripple, crystal clear water. I breath in the salt air, exhale, this is all the therapy I need. If we catch a feed today that will be a bonus. I drift away…. daydreaming…BANG! That woke me up!
The fight is on and a fight it is!
Wrestling this lucky dip in the shape of a fish with my bare hands.
I see the flash of red, yes that is the right colour. Oh no. Through the crystal clear depths I see a flash of white. A large shadow. Heck it’s a shark! That’s why I use a handline! The race is on. What a workout!
I see it is a cracker of a trout and I see a large Bull Shark chasing it up from the depths.
Faster, faster and I finally get him close to the boat.
The shark slowly and deliberately disappears into the depths. I won this one.
Maybe not so lucky next time.
Today was the day! Here he is the luckiest trout cause he wasn’t dinner for the shark but for mine!
