My son thinks it's ok

My son fishes. Properly fishes. He knows which bait works at which tide, what the wind needs to be doing, when the flathead move from the flats into the channel. The kid has done his research. I know two knots. The Uni Knot and the Uni-to-Uni. That’s my entire repertoire.

We fish together sometimes, usually at Queens Wharf in Newcastle, where he sighs at my casting and re-ties my hooks without being asked. Through those afternoons I picked up something that stuck with me: fishing isn’t luck. It’s patterns. Tide, wind, swell, time of day, season, water temperature, what it rained last week. There’s a window when conditions line up, and if you miss it, you’re just sitting there holding a rod.
