    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!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Hope to see you Pete. I will be the overweight old bugger in the faded NZHS Tee shirt. Grab a shoulder and say hello.

    So you'll be blending in with the crowd then Rushy

    Will you also be wearing Camo like the rest of the punters, if so you'll be hard to spot.

    I've been to one or two Sika Shows before so Be Careful when your grabbing random blokes by the shoulder and saying Hello. Rushy.

    Either something very bad will happen immediately there after ..... or you'll be going on your first date with your new Mr Right

    Hard to tell which way it will go.

    Cheers
    Pete

    Thanks ExPoh75, I am glad you enjoyed the book. But there again you did the culling thing, travelled the same country, knew the same people that I did.

    We were lucky bastards, were we not.
