MAY MAYHEM WITH MAKEHAMS!

The Makehams are back with grand-daughter Candace in tow, learning a few tricks from shark-fisher grandma Jenny... And this family proves that you don't necessarily have to go out in the boat to have fun fishing - one morning they caught (and released) over 20 Trevally off the Sandy Point... Jenny also tested out some new shark gear...and Maurie has been a very diligent 'caddie' for the two girls. They also went out in the boat and caught some nice fish there too...

(Note that from July 1, 2009, sharks more than 1.5m cannot be caught.)

Jenny and Maurie caught good fish down at the Sandy Point.. Candace had better luck out in the boat..

The curlews still come in to feed at night, and they have two little chicks! The dogs don't chase them, they are much too busy playing on the beach and chasing ball!

(Thanks to Candace for the great photos!)

And Maurie also took some great shots, so here is a selection of his photos - again, click on the thumbnails for a larger image...
