Zurück vom Sonderurlaub...

Yesterday, we arrived home from Narooma after two weeks of fishing, beach, sea, sun and fun. Almost every day we went fishing either from the boat or from the shore. Both ways, we caught heaps of fish. But I caught only one fish that was legal size.  Most of the time we fished from the boat with bait and that is how I caught my legal sized fish, a tailor. We also caught many snapper, bream and mudeye. When we fished from the shore we used soft plastics instead of bait. We caught many small flathead and some legal size fish. My favourite type was boat fishing because I could sit down and relax.

Another thing we did almost every day was going to the beach. At Narooma there is a special beach that is protected from the wind by a man-made rock wall. It also has a shark net to protect the wild life and the humans who swim in the water. Inside the net, it is a great spot for snorkelling, collecting shells and swimming. One day we were snorkelling and we found a puffer fish (Kugelfisch), and some small plate sized stingrays (Stachelrochen). We also played a stupid ball game were you throw the ball into the water, then run in and try to get back up the beach past a line in the sand. The only difficult part about the game was getting past the other people who were playing the game without losing the ball. I always won the game and only lost five times out of about 50.

Now we are back home and I wish I was still in Narooma. It went too quick!! And now Johanna and I have only two weeks left in Australia, it has gone too quickly as well.

See you soon
