Fishing for my birthday
G'day all, I want to get some opinions about what I should do fishing wise for my birthday in August.
The misses wants to get me a nice pressie (which I have to pay for anyway so no more than $300 - $400 or so!) and my first thought was get out on a decent charter. Judging by previous posts I would have to say that Whitey in Jurien would be the pick but with 3 daughters (youngest only 5 months) and being an overnight kinda thing it might be a bit much time to leave the woman holding the babies.
What else would you guys recommend? I have all my own gear but have never really got to catch anything decent! My best fish in the last few years would be a 70cm snapper that I got on a scoopon charter.
You blokes must have some suggestions, I'm very time poor these days but my budget can really stretch as need be. I wanna decent photo to put in my hallway - you know the ones I see here all the time - a great fish with a bloke that is over the moon to be out on the water and got something!
All input from you guys would be most appreciated!

Seasport with Whitey. Bring
Seasport with Whitey. Bring the wife... there's good value accommodation up there - chalet at carvan park or houses for lease short term.
by the time she organises the kids, has brekky etc she can go to his shop to buy you a gift / playground near jetty / beach etc

Take the wife and kids and
Take the wife and kids and hire a chalet for a couple of nights. You can still go out fishing one day and you can spend the next day with the family in town. The kids will love it!!!!

Mate all the above is spot on. Jurien/Seasport/Whitey is the go for sure. I'll be doing the exact same thing for my birthday in August as well. I don't have any kids to worry about though just the missus.
