A long Break from Beijing - Fishing Part 1




We are taking a break from Beijing. Being the first to arrive on Jan 1, alone, I went on a fishing spree, spening 5 nights at our Melbourne home out of the 10, mostly just to deposit the catches, replensih supplies and clothings, before Grace returned with Kristine and Kimberley on Jan 11.
The 3-day trip to the MurrayRiver supplied just two Golden Perch and a Redfin, but the 3 overnight trips out to Westernport Bay supplied a good variety of fresh marine fish. King George Whitings remain the key target but snappers, trevally, Australian Salmons (a marine fish unrelated to the Atlantic Salmons), rock flatheads were also landed. Plus 3 kgs of fresh, live, pippis from Ken, variety of seafood served for dinners has been rich.
More to come in the next few weeks but strong wind has been making the sea choppy the last few weeks.
