Another day of fishing

Decided to give fishing another go, but was not lucky this time so packed up after an hour or so. Then we headed further south to another campsite by the Boyne River. Saw some local fishing so thought we would give it a go so wandered down the bank and chatted to the local.

Chris cleaning his fish

He advised us not to go barefoot into the water as there were lots of stonefish that apparently have a spike on them that is very poisonous and can kill you if you don’t get to a hospital, good old Oz.

What a great fishing spot!

He was fishing with livebait that he had caught with a net, but we decided to give the squidgee another go as that’s all we had.

The pretty river

A few hours passed and whilst enjoyable, there were no fish for us or the local. Then just as we were considering packing it in, Chris caught another flathead. One of the other campers was taking a walk and showed us the best way to clean and fillet it. We then headed back to the van and fried up the fillets to have with our leftover stew, once again very tasty and free.
