Coochiemudlo island Brisbane Australia

We had a 6am start today, myself, my eldest daughter Khe-sanh (3yrs old) biggles and almost a dozen of the boys from the AKFF.

We all started out together, but I broke away from the main group as the boys were heading out through the main channel and to the reefs beyond in search of some of those big snapper that red has been catching.

I kept reasonbly close to the island, and away from the channel for safety's sake carrying my daughter on board, and fished (my kid fished ) around some of the weedbeds, rocky points and the moored boats.

Khe-sanh caught her very first fish (some sort of sweetlip) on her very first outing on any kind of vessel. Not only that, but she brought the first fish ever over the side of the Xfactor - I felt very proud.

She caught two other fish of the same species not too long after, and I got myself two little undersize bream. We were only soaking some prawns over the side to keep things simple, although I did take the plastics rod out but never even ended up rigging it.

We pulled up on the island beach and built some sand castles together, went exploring, and collected some sea shells to take home to mum.

I decided to leave around 10am as the sun was getting a bit hot (although my kid wanted to keep fishing ) and I didnt want to get either of us sunburnt and wear the reprocussions that would come with it once we got home

I never got a chance to say hoo roo to everyone as they were all too far out (sorry fella's), but I hope they all got amongst some good snapper.

Very cool James, there is nothing better than watching them overcome that "whopper" on the other end of the line
