It's been so long that I can barely remember the feeling of reeling one of these delicacies from the ocean depths.
Having inadvertantly put our fishing spot in the Northern Advocate for all to see (here) I thought I would try and inspire myself and hopefully my good fishing buddy to clean our gear and head out for a fish mish.
So here goes...
'Never A Dull Moment' seems to encapsulate our fish mish's over the years.
We've caught: Schnapper, Kahawai, Trevally, Mau mau, Rays, Eels, Koheru, Piper, Sea weed, Rock Cod, Red Cod, Leather Jackets (Butterfish) and some weird stuff that Syms ate.
We've seen: Sharks, Sting Rays, Dolphins, Killer Whales, Sunsets, Sun rises and smiles galore.
We've experienced: Broken Rods, Flying Spools, Shattered Fry Pans, Scraped Skin, Falling Torches, Schnapper Dances, Stormy Swells, Sideways Rain, Busby Frogs and all with best mates giving thanks to the One who made it and holds it all together.
Thank you Jesus!
Colossians 1:15-17 (NIV)
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
By the way...cleaning your gear is optional :) Woohooo...Schnapper time, Da da da da, wo o wo o o oh!
Bring it on!! I miss the smell of fish cooking around here.
ReplyDeleteYou are a legend mate! I was just thinking yesterday it's high time we headed out again! (Your next post should be called "Wassup With Busby Frogs?")
