On a perfect night for fishing the Venturers arrived at Pykes Creek Reservoir ready to try their luck at catching a fish ... marlin, barramundi, blue whale, shark, carp, red fin, clown fish or a cold ... the Venturers didn't care what they caught, as long as they caught something.
With everyone onsite and ready to go they picked up their gear and prepared to fish when tragedy struck ... a fishing rod snapped, broken before a line was even cast. Undisturbed the Venturers carried on, setting & baiting their rods ready to go. Standing on the edge of the Reservoir lines were cast ... and patience kicked in as the Venturers sat down and simply waited. It didn't take long before a fish was caught. Reeled in with excitement the Venturers celebrated before realising the fish had died. So, a burial site was chosen and a fish funereal arranged. Standing in a circle the fish was honoured as the mourners individually relived the happy but brief times they had together with the fish before respectfully burying the fish. With the funereal over, the fishing continued and to the surprise of the Venturers they caught more fish, four in total ... a very successful and fun evening had by all.
