    I think there is a bit of weather to blow through on Friday night, Sat morning, and after that weather should be clear but cold.
    Scribe ya might recognise me when I cruise through on sunday and pinch ya arse!
    Hoping to sneak up for the day if my cunning plan works out!
    My favorite sentences i like to hear are - I suppose so. and Send It!

    Before the Post's start, that's tongue in cheek, of course you all knew that.

    They are not bad GA. I only threw back one flounder today.

    Quite a few dabs still (local parlance) But sand flounder percentage increasing every set.

    I wonder whether I will catch the big flush again this year. That one day when all the big fish head up into the shallows. I have caught it two years running and have had about 35 fish in each set. They are always of uniform size and are the biggest fish of the year.

    It is seems to be that in the fish world they do most things together in age groups.

    Anyone coming to Macas on Sat Night should bring a chilly bin and Ice packs. I am trying to put together some fish packs for all our inland friends to take home.

    As well we might have enough for a flounder for breakfast sun morning.

    A couple more sets yet if the weather improves. I am just getting ahead with fish numbers. I have the Gannet of Whangarei staying with me at present.

    I served with him in Vietnam and at the moment he is getting through a fish at every meal. He must be off his food a bit because I have seen him tackle one at afternoon tea as well. Maybe he's still working up to this.

    Share for those of us out of the loop.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
