    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

    They are real nice smoked,not much food on a live bait size Kahawai . Probably the best use for a 150 -200mm size.
    Gun control means using both hands

    Chris, my first mother in law (bloody old battle axe she was) bottled Kahawai and I would defy anyone to pick the difference between that and bottled Salmon in a blind test. Was fucking marvellous.
