Definitely. Our office is a work van haha.
It was fun. Next time I'll take my 2wt. I believe I caught my first trout in that stream. It's my favorite park to visit here in SC.

Went back to the same stream and found a few more small stream jewels.
Pretty trout

Nice catch. Love the smile on your son's face.
Caught these yesterday on soft plastics at a
local beach (about 10 min drive from my house) .. 3 yellow fin whiting on the left, Tommy rough (Australian herring... nb: not a 'true' herring) in the middle and Australian salmon (no: not a 'true' salmon) on the right.
Interesting to see what you catch down under.
Thanks Jim.. these are some of my other favourite fish to catch
The long fish are what we call "Snook"... basically a salt water pike (Short finned sea pike). Good eating when fresh (legal minimum size here is 45 cm (18")....the top one is 81 cm). The smaller fish are more Tommy Roughs (my wife's favourite fish to eat). All of them caught on soft plastic lures within 30 min drive from home.
This is what a snook looks like in the U.S.
The Tommy Roughs look a lot like our herring.
The herring are small - but the pic is large.

That's a practically perfect piscatorial pictorial, Brett. Looks tasty.

Cheers BSAGuy. There were definitely some great meals amongst that lot. I'm very lucky to live in an area with such an abundance of seafood.. we also have ready access to scallops, king prawns, abalone, blue swimmer crab, southern calamari, oysters,and mussels.. and in an environment conducive to going out and catching them most of the year. (Although not abalone, I let others do that ... too many Great whites in these waters for me to enjoy diving).
Here's some blue swimmer crabs and scallops I managed to pick up wading in the shallows earlier in the year.
And some of the beautiful coastline that I'm lucky enough to fish.
Wow those snook look like an interesting fish.. are they good to eat? Our herring grow to about 12" and plentiful so do not have a minimum size limit .. usually I only keep them if they're bigger than about 9" because smaller than that isn't really worth cleaning them.This is what a snook looks like in the U.S.

Gorgeous scenery and food, Brett!
In FL when I lived there the size to keep a snook was in between 28 to 33 inches. FL has a slot limit for snook. The fish is excellent to eat and puts up a great fight when hooked.
The FL snook has a distinctive strip across its body.
