Fishing…again!
Once again Aidan started the day off by going off on a boat fishing. This time however it looks as if all his fishing has finally paid off.
Aidan hauled in a Snapper weighing 6.8kg, only 115g under the record for his age and had he been in the Swordfish Club he would have taken the prize for his age group for 2009.
The tourists were particularly taken by his catch, asking to have their photos taken with it when he was sitting outside Russell Radio/The Swordfish Club.
For some reason unknown to me, I was tasked with the challenge of gutting and filleting the beast.
He also managed to reel in one weighing 3kg before the holidays were out.

That evening we headed to the Russell Boating Club for a meal and drinks before the bells.
Aidan immediately headed out onto the jetty attached to the Boating Club and decided he wanted to fish. Having no fishing rod, he asked the kitchens if they had an old milk bottle and some bread. He proceeded to cut the top off the milk bottle, put bread in the end and then tied it to some rope so he could try and catch some fish.
After that we headed down to the waterfront at Russell Wharf to take in the New Year and watch the fireworks. Unfortunately, by this stage my hand didn’t seem to be quite steady, so the fireworks photos are but a blur.
