Berala Patch

I have been a bit lazy lately, or very busy (my excuse) to keep updating the BeralaPatch Blog. I have had quite a bit of luck with the weekly Raffle, winning a few meat trays , so much so, that I was told...not to bring any more meat home.I think that our freezer is getting smaller!

Yesterday (Sunday) I went fishing with the Dooleys Club, after having wrongly been left off the roster, as each member has to miss out on one (1) trip per year, to accommodate all the members, I have not been available to go on a trip, on 3 different occasions, but Lionel came to my aid, by giving me his spot on the boat, and he was able to get a spot on another boat, so everybody was happy!

It was a very good day weather wise, as far as the fishing went, I caught a good size fish as soon as we put the lines down, it weighed 1.3 Kg. so it looked like it would be one of the best catches for the day, but Adam had to spoil the party, by catching a Snapper, only a few minutes after, and his fish weighed just under 3 Kg. it will probably be the heaviest catch for the rest of the year. the rest of the day was not so good as far as the catches went, as there was a plague of small Leather jackets, and they kept on taking the bait, well before it reached the ocean floor, and to make it worse, they kept on cutting the lines, I lost 5 "rigs", and most of the others suffered the same fate! I ended up with 8 fish in all, which was not bad, but not as good as it had promised at the beginning.
