• Brax and Brett’s Fishing Adventures

    April 11, Tasman Sea ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

    The weather looked great and Brax finished his assignments which meant he could have the last day of school off.
    Sooo….. What better way to spend it then heading out in the big boat for a fish.
    The ocean was so calm and the sun was hot which made it very enjoyable. We had a slow start but things heated up when I hooked something enormous. I managed to lift it slightly off the bottom but It was like it was stuck. I was exhausted, so Brax helped me lift my rod and inch by inch bring it to the surface. It was a huge grey nurse shark and by far the biggest shark I have ever caught. We estimate it at 6-7 foot and it would have definitely weighed as much as me.
    We lost a couple of baits and on one of the last drops I hooked a good Kingfish…….
    I was stoked, I’ve been craving king fish cerviche.
    After we got home and washed the boat I remembered I forgot to empty the live bait tank and there was one fish still in there. I threw it on the grass and it kept Jett occupied for ages before he finally ate it in the late afternoon.
    Brax and I were starving after washing the boat so we decided to grab a kabab and eat it down the beach, it was a great way to end a great day! 😎
