Mindarie Eco-System in Good Health
After months of nagging I took my G-Daughter for her first fish today. Armed with a little pink rod with a very light patanoster, a bag of corel prawns and some burley we stepped onto the platform inside the marina rock wall. Burley immediatly attracted this HUGE school of blowies. Lucy was excited by this but it didn't take her long to understand that these critters are bloody pests.
In just under an hour of messing around we managed a total of 4 baby Whiting, 3 baby Trumpeters, 2 baby Snapper and countless Blowies. I was quite suprised to see the bread and butter babies challenging the Blowies for a feed. I was also very pleased to see such a diverse range of babies. The marina is obviously in very good shape.

I am sure she had a ball Vince
The marina must be a good breeding ground. Sherbs, his son Andrew, and I, caught a load of small pinkies in there one night.

Great day
HI Uncut, looks like you and your grand daughter had a great day. Our boys love to get into jetty fishing too. Sometimes there are a few other fish around besides blowies and it beats the nintendo and dvd for somthing to do.

looks like great fun
certainly better than the view from my office at the moment! Always fun to get kids involved - my godson is a bit apprehensive of going near the fish right now, but I'll get him over that!
It will be a sad day when places like that are fish out, a sad day indeed. I think for most of us, thats where we got our "start" in fishing.
