We started the day by getting up early to get on the fishing charter. We went to the dock and pushed the boat into the water. When we started going out into deeper water, it got super choppy, and the waves were so high so you would free fall for a bit and then hit the next wave. When we got in the river, it was much smoother. In the main channel, we got our rods out and did some trawling which vibrates a lure that excites the fish and makes them chase after it. We did that for about an hour, and I had something on my line for a little bit, but it came off. We tried looking around for some yellow eye mullet to make live bait to get barramundi or threadfin salmon, but we couldn’t find anything, so we had to use dead prawns. While my line was in the water, I looked over the bow of the boat and I saw heaps of yellow eye mullet swimming around. We threw out a net and when we pulled it in, it was full of the mullet which would be perfect live bait. By the time we had gotten the live bait, the spot we were at wouldn’t have any fish in it anymore, so we left to a different spot. We cast the lines out and I got multiple bites, but I didn’t hook anything. When we reeled it back in, though we saw that the mullet had been de-scaled which means a barramundi had it in its mouth. Since they have no teeth, they de-scale the fish before swallowing it but this one spat it out before that. We put it in multiple times and the mullet went into the mouth of a barramundi and threadfin multiple times, but none swallowed it. So, we left that area and started going towards a reef. On the way there, we saw a lot of seagulls fishing in the water and some fish jumping out of it. We then threw some trawling lines in and did multiple passes. When we got nothing, we began reeling it in and Dad hooked something while bringing the line in. When he got it into the boat, we found it was a queenfish. It was legal size, but apparently, they only taste good raw, so we threw it back. We put some extra lines in to try and get another one because they are a good fighting fish, and we got another one on. It was swimming around a lot and when I brought it next to the boat it still had a lot of fight in it. We got it in a net and onto the boat and even though it was legal, we threw it back. After that, we went onto the reef and cast our lines down. When the lines were down, a shark came and bit the head off my live bait and then swallowed Dad’s bait. It then panicked as the hook went in its mouth and swam around a lot of times in circles around everyone’s lines which tangled everything badly. We had to cut some of the lines, so that wasn’t too good. After that, we came back to the van. We then swam in the pool for about an hour and left to go to the beach for sunset. This time, we brought thongs so we could put our feet in the water without taking off proper shoes. When I put my foot in the water, though, I got stung by a small jellyfish. I pulled off its tentacle and it got stuck on my toe. I luckily pulled it off quickly, but it also stung the finger I pulled it off with. It stung for a few minutes, but I think it was quite a weak jellyfish and not a proper sting. We then watched the sunset and came back to the van to eat dinner and go to bed.
