Nicole catching more fish than Keith again
One of Nicole´s Dorado
You may guess by looking at the photos how yesterdays Dorado fishing went. One thing I have learnt from Michael is that it is important to let your girlfriend/wife catch more fish than you to make sure they stay interested in fishing. For this reason I shook off three Dorado before bringing them into the boat, whilst I made sure Nicole landed two. To make Nicole feel even better I then caught a catfish and a stingray whilst pretending to be bitterly disappointed and ashamed.
In fact I think we were lucky to catch anything. I thought the river was looking pretty high – the streetlights poking out of it were a bit of a give away. Watching the news this morning 16000 people have been evacuated from floods on the other side of the province, so it has been a bit wet here. We managed to find only two run-offs actually flowing into the river, all the rest were flowing out, and one of those two was a farmer de-watering his paddock. Never the less we had a great day, our guide was really good and probably the keenest fisherman I have ever seen (and I know some keen fisherman!!) We had a massive BBQ lunch on the bank from which Nicole and I were stuffed full after eating only half of it. Dorado behave exactly like barra, seem to like squidgies (the three I hooked were all on soft plastics) and jump like tarpon (all three spat me on the jump). They were only rats, but I can imagine the big ones would go pretty hard.
