Quobba Station Day 3

Today we were awoken early in the morning by my iPod alarm. I woke Dad up and we made some breakfast. Then Mum, Dad, my sister and I piled into the car and drove to the fishing spot where we were yesterday. This time we didn't get a flat tyre. When we arrived we found that we were the only ones there. Dad set up the beach rod and put on one of the 85 gram lures. Then we head to where we were standing yesterday. Dad cast the lure and it flew far out into the bay. Then he gave the rod to me and I started winding as fast as I could. The trick with these metal lures is to wind them as fast as possible so that the they look like small baitfish.

Anyway nothing got excited enough to grab the lure and Dad cast it out again. This procedure was repeated 5 more time before we let the lure sit to long and it got snagged. Dad puled the rod as hard as he could and Mum got a good photo of Dad looking like he had a big fish on the line. Then the lure came free and I wound it up. To our great surprise there was a small 15 cm fish hooked through the head on the lure. Now when you cast a lure with a surf rod it has to be pretty long. This lure was about 15 cm long. Dad released it and we cast out again. The cast was exactly the same and we got snagged again. This time though the line snapped and the lure was lost.

After that we packed up and drove back to the station and unloaded the surf rod. Then we drove 80 km back into Carnarvon to get some new tyres. After a lot of umming an aaahing Dad decide to get new tyres on every wheel. We had a flat tyre yesterday and Dad needed a new spare tyre. While the guy at Tyre power started doing the tyres Mum and I went across the road and did some shopping. When we were finished we walked back to the Tyre Power place, got the car and went and got some chinese Takeaway for lunch. It tasted really good especially the Honey Chicken. Then we drove to a Mango farm and bought a Mango smoothie. We had one when we were staying in Carnarvon but it tasted so good that we had to come back for more. After that we drove back to Quobba Station and along some roads in search of fishing spots. We didn't find any though so we head back after 2 hours of searching.

When we got back to that caravan Dad and I went and had a shower while Mum and my sister packed up the chairs. When we got back from the shower Dad went inside and I packed up the Table. Then I went inside as well and started writing the blog. Then we had dinner. For dinner we had the rest of the Spanish Mackerel and some potatoes. After dinner I finished writing the blog. Then we had dessert. Dessert was some more bikes and chocolate milk.
