Fishing on the dam

I went fishing at Bourkies dam.  When we got there, it was about 2.30pm.  We fished in the blistering hot sun for 3 hours with no luck at all.  Finally, we found the fish feeding on the surface in some part of the deep dark cool water.  I cast my line and whamo I had a fish just like that!  I battled with it for about 20 minutes, finally I got it on land.  It was about 1 1/2 pounds, I was thrilled.  When we got back to the car, we had a hot chocolate.  When I was doing some practice casting, I figured out that some perch were following the lure.  After about 150 casts, James finally caught one.  We were going to put it back but it had got hooked in the gills, so we had to keep it.  When we got back, we pan-fried it, it tasted so good.  Dad said that perch were the best fish for fish and chips.
Sizzle, sizzle, went the fillets of fish in the frying pan.  The golden crispy skin made my mouth water. The white fillets glowed in the golden colour of the oil - yum!
