Fishing on the Clyde River , Batemans Bay.

 The Crew - Jackson, Karen and Harry.
 The vessel of choice - the little red one, not the big one.
 Karen catches a leatherjacket with her first cast. It's a keeper.(and it tasted terrific)
 The leather jacket. The Fonz would have been happy with this one.
 Happy with the catch.
Jackson's bream, he let Pop handle the de-hooking.

We spent half the day fishing on the Clyde River, the guy who we hired the boat from gave us some good tips for fishing. 1. drift with the tide, don't anchor up. 2. Have your sinker down low and bring the hook a metre up the line, this worked a treat as we had 7 fish landed and heaps of bites.Two fish were keepers , the others were released. A super day on the river.

Yep it was a good leatherjacket it taste good to.The bream was very tasty.My pop or the expert fisherman caught three fish but where to small.That boat is so easy to drive.We hired it on the clyde river the hire place for that boat was next to a houseboat hire.
