Onslow Day 1

Today we got up early in the morning, made breakfast and got out of Exmouth as fast as we could. We drove for a few hundred km before stopping at a roadhouse to fuel up and get some fruit out of the caravan. Then we drove on to Onslow. While we drove I wrote a story on my laptop and listened to audiobooks. When we arrived in Onslow we set up the caravan and then had lunch. Then we went and drove to the visitor centre. I got the good oil on some fishing spots. Then we drove to the fishing spots to check them out.

I saw lots of baitfish but Dad wouldn't even get out the cast net to practice. He complained about getting muddy shoes but had no problem 5 minutes later in walking down the bank to look for baitfish. I found a soft plastic and some sinkers. Then we drove back to the caravan and i read a bit more of my book.

Then Dad got back from the office and we got the rods ready to do a bit of fishing. After a bit we drove to the jetty and baited up. It was nearly dark and quite peaceful except for the continuos moaning of my sister. I felt some nibbles on my rod and yanked. I had set the hook on a 20 cm Silver Bream. After releasing him I dropped my bait back down again. I felt some more nibbles on my line 5 minutes later. I set the hook on another Silver Bream and reeled it up. I released it and dropped my line back down. Then after a minute or so I felt some very light hits. I yanked the rod. My rod bent over. For a moment I thought I was snagged. Then the rood began to kick very slightly. I started reeling and my rod bent over even further. Then, without warning the thing let go. I think it was a crab but I'm not quite sure.

Then we went back to the caravan and I started writing my blog. Then we had dinner. Dinner was homemade Focaccias. They were delicious with Avocado. After that I finished writing my blog. Then we had dessert. Dessert was some vanilla slices. Then I wrote some more of my story. After that I went to bed.

Oggi siamo andati da pesca.
Ho preso due pesci.
E stato divertente.
