Another beautiful day on WA’s North West Coast. It appears that all the fishing action here occurs for about 2 hours just before high tide. We went down to the beach to check out the action, it was around midday and it appeared that everyone is the caravan park had a rod in hand and was fishing along the beach. We spotted a couple of guys who looked like they took their fishing seriously. They had frames welded to a fridge trolley, the frame was covered sides and top with white shade cloth, there was a very comfortable chair as part of the frame plus two rod holders on either side and as the tide came in, they hopped out and wheeled the frame a little higher up the beach. We listened to their advice, saw the evidence in the form of a 80+ cm giant threadfin salmon in their esky and headed back to camp. At the caravan park one guy was cleaning a similar size threadfin, he held next to his daughter who would have been close to Malachi’s height and the salmon was as long as she was high.

The rest of the day was relax and read time, I’ve read 5 books so far.
