This one was for the kids

Hobie Outback, aquatic RV

Despite the overt activity from feeding barra on the previous trips, our confidence on catching fish here and now had eroded somewhat, although we put on a face of optimism for the kids regardless. With a southerly blowing, conditions were somewhat different than the past 2 trips, but just as advertised, even with 20 knot gusts blowing elsewhere, the water here was well protected. Sadly, that didn't seem to help our chances with the fish.

Astro barely made an effort today, although this was only because his kids were with us and there's only so much fishing you can do when you have an 8 year old on the stern and a 5 year old on the bow. I was surprised how well the Outback handled the weight of 2 extra passengers and how easily he managed to keep his line wet most of the time. The kids weren't the only motivating factor to our early retirement and sundown tonight. The fish just weren't biting here... as far as I was concerned, it was time to admit defeat to this dam and move on. I shall return Teemburra dammit, I shall return! *shakes fist*
