Not bad going 😊 Good size.

They are good eating...But just to be on the safe side, feed it to the missus. If she doesn't keel over and stop breathing, you know it is safe to eat. haha

BTW...nice T-shirt 😊 and I see you got a new FR baseball cap too 😊

PS. Did you paint the bus? For some reason I thought it was white.

haha - good idea trying it on the missus first.
nah, bus was always blue. The good old hiace back in the days was white. Maybe you thought of that.

well, I can confirm that Perch tastes delicious. The missus didn't keel over. 
In fact it was so delicious that I only remembered to take a photo after it was almost all eaten up already.



went out the next morning and caught another one of a similar size, again on the same good old Rapala lure.



I just love fishing off my paddle board. My balance has improved quite a bit and if the water is calm enough I can cast and fish standing up instead of kneeling. Earlier I could paddle around standing up without problems, but wasn't to comfortable fishing in a standing position.

The paddle board I'm using is a Aqua Marina Fusion: http://amzn.to/2DD48ig
It's an inflatable and really stable. 

So easy to carry the paddle board around and get it setup. I can launch virtually everywhere. The biggest obstacle is wind.
A bit of an off shore breeze and you got a one way ticket out to open sea. Going to try a sea anchor next.
I got a sea anchor from my old kayaking days as you can seen in the picture. But it makes a really good (cheap) catch bag, that's why I haven't used it for it's original purpose anymore :-)

Hopefully a nice sea-run trout will be on the menu next.
