AliKat 0 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hey all,Especialy parents, aunties, uncles, grandparents, basicly anyone that spends time with the little ones,Christmas is upon us, and what better gift than a new rod, and most importantly time spent with them fishing.I went out with my son yesterday, a man of 22 now, and he was remembering the first rod i ever got him (was Santa actualy) the first time he used it, the biggest fish on it, in great detail, since then we have had many a fishing trip, and a great many memories, surely one of the best and longest lasting gift you could give.Ali Mr_Willy, coonta kinta and Jack. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spog777 1 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 fantastic pix. Bring back so many good thoughts of my now not so little son trying for his first fish - which turned out to be a very nice KGW off of Walleroo jetty which was followed later that day by a couple of squid-the 1st of which scared the shit out of himbut after a bit he went back to fishing to score another. I still get paid out because i promised him we'd take it home for tea and after cleaning it we put it in the freezer of the cabin we were staying at and after getting home the next day he gave me daggers when i had to admit that i'd forgotton all about it and it was still in the freezer lol 4THALOVE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
