Here we are at Hawks Nest, one of our favourite beach places. We came armed with all our paraphernalia – beach chairs and brolly, two sets of golf clubs, fishing rods, and two bikes on a carrier at the back of the car.
The swimming has been glorious, calm clear warm water with no sharks to be seen (yet). We did see the resident dolphins wandering up and down just off the beach, we said hello.
Yesterday we bought some local blackfish for tea – I barbecued them. Tonight it is fish again because I caught four nice whiting this morning off Jimmys Beach. I had to pay $10 for bait – some lively beach worms – so it’s not a free meal!
The seagulls had a free meal of fresh guts as I cleaned my catch at the water’s edge. I filleted them and there’s plenty for dinner.
We’ve also been reading, doing crosswords and dozing, so it is a good holiday. More energetic stuff to come later.
The whitings are a fair size (if not photoshopped). Good catching.
so it is sometimes ‘catching’…bet it was delicious!
