Maggie and I met the MacFuncans down at Nightcliff Jetty and we had a fish. Got a few smaller ones but Maggie was not enjoying it as much as being able to cast lures, which we did at the rocks afterwards.

Litchfield for Claire’s Birthday
We went down to Litchfield for two days for Claire’s birthday. It was a lovely trip with Eddie really enjoying the water and particularly Walker’s Creek which I think is his favourite. Maggie definitely liked the Buley’s Rockholes the best.
Nothing at the Finnis
Did a charter out of Dundee to the Finnis. I suspected I had left it a fortnight too late as the chill in the morning was really out. We worked very hard but didn’t get anything for the day. Watching the bait twitch as the water flowed out was an interesting one. A boat near us got a few including a 120cm girl! Oh well.
Litchfield in the Wet
Maggie and I took Jesse, Anna and Izzy down to Litchfield for the day. They were going to arrive a bit later so Maggie and I hiked to the top Green ant falls. It was about 30 minutes, though straight up. The swimming hole is absolutely lovely and Maggie quite liked the walk once we got there.
After that we all went to Upper Cascades. Apparently 2.3km we think it was closer to 3km. Speargrass was everywhere, was a decent walk but perhaps a bit too long for the kids. It was a reasonable spot to swim, but the current was so strong! You had to really pick your spot.
So overall a really nice trip. We got home around 6.30pm, Maggie was exhausted!
Maggie Having Fun at the Farm
We had a friend (Jesse) come up to Melbourne, he was keen on a quick fishing trip so I took him and Maggie down to the farm. I did elect to spectate (supervise Maggie) but they both had a lot of fun. Maggie can easily cast and catch her own Barra at 40-50cm. However the big girls were biting and Maggie got one for 70cm and one for 76cm! That said, she did need my help with a hand on the rod, she could hold it for a bit but just didn’t have the strength to last the fight.
