Yes guys I've found water, and bloody heaps of it, shhhh don't tell anyone.
And I've found fish, bloody big fish. Trout, Bass, salmon, all trophy sized stuff too. Now is all I've got to do is get a few of them to take my bait :duh: Where, not telling. :beers:  :bigok:

Now Now Aussie, I know I advocate he who cheats best wins, but where's the fun in that. Just because they who live out the back of butt F*#* Idaho, have to use sticks of jelly just to catch a stinkin fat mud guzzling carp or yella belly. :monkeymoon:
Ok I'm not a refind gentleman, who would only go fly fishing, me I like finding a good spot, throwing a few baited lines, and kicking back and relaxing, while the little maggots I use for bait drown. If I catch one yeha, if I don't, I can at least say I relaxed for a few hours. Something that is getting harder and harder to find time for these days.

I no I'm getting off subject, but the courier bussiness is up for sale, hope to sell around xmas, if it don't sell for what we reckon its worth ( with the input of the accountant, so we have knocked back the offer thats been put on the table), we will hire someone next year to run and manage it. When junior is born we are off like robbers dogs for a 3 month holiday, heading north to a magnetic Island and go see some sights. Then knuckle down, to a new run in Albury on a 3 month trial. By 12 months we'll know if we are going to stick it out, hoping to do 24 months and build the run up to a good seller, like what we done here. The company we work through has a plan to be Aust wide, as well as in every major regional centre by 2011, we see, a real chance to build up runs from scratch, and sell, and move on to the next.

I really shouldn't hang shyte on you for fishing......

I've got around $1000 worth of rods, waders, lures, spinners etc etc sitting in the shed waiting for the day that I get enough time to use them again......

I used to like wading up and down the little streams around Tumut throwing bits of metal, rubber and plastic at the trout.  Occaisonally I was lucky enough to hook one.

Why did I stop this most relaxing past time.  Well my 3yr old turned in to a 12 year old and my not yet even thought of turned into a 6yr old and suddenly I was spending my weekends standing on the side of sporting fields watching them play soccer, softball, baseball, cricket or whatever is was they wanted to do.  

Now, the 12yr old is nearly a 17yr old and doesn't really want or need his dear old dad hanging around all the time and then 6yr old is 11 and doesn't have the patiance for fishing - he'd rather be pillion on the B12 going through some real nice twisty bits  - and, just quitely, so would I.
