December 2008 - The Purchase and the biggest fish :)

Brendan had been talking about upgrading the boat for a little while, wanting a "Family Boat" (code for bigger and better) :) So when he came across this one at Bendigo Marine that was for sale as ex demo stock he jumped at the chance, in fact I dont think I could have stopped him even if I had of wanted!

The first outing for the aptly named Bumble Bee was on the Family Christmas holiday at Echuca, We were on a house boat for the week and the boys did enjoy some fishing!

With Brendans PB being caught just upstream of the East Boat ramp, a 89cm 21p Monster Murray Cod, Well it was a monster for us, and hell he was happy as a pig in... you know.






And so it begins.......
