Hope you all had a good one.

Well xmas is over and I hope you all had a good one, I hope santa bought ya,s heaps of fishy things, I must have been a very good not so little hillbilly cause I got a huge Plano tackle box that I will have much pleasure in filling { just gotta find a paying job to do it } and I also got a new beaut lap top and a verbal gift from my daughter saying we are gonna be grandparents in August so all in all I did pretty well. :)

I hope you also had a great new year and can strive to honor the new years resolutions we have all made, :wink: mine is pretty simple, its to do way more fishing, to up my catch rate and to never hook anything under the size limit YEAH RIGHT, :shock: I document all of my fishing trips in a fishing diary and for 2005 I have done 247 hours fishing, :shock: so this year I plan to at least double that. :roll:
HAVE A GREAT AND SAFE NEW YEAR ALL. :D :D :D
Karren :wink:

Happy NY Karren, and to all.

I'll have to pull out me log book tonight and count up the hours I put in over 2005. I shun to think. :oops:

NY resolutions? Mulloway on lure. Fished on the 1st of Jan and dropped one on lure (my first), so that's set my new target.

Hope we catch up one day for a fish Karren. I need help with the whiting. :wink:

if you take the 14kg sinkers off your line it might be a start! and not use crane wire for line....

Happy NY all.--- I forgot to make any NY resolutions, and I was asleep when NY came in (result of 5.30am fishing and too many evening ales)

Karen-- I have a boat, and yet I still didn't rack up the amount of hours you did!! Bugger!

Cheers Ted

Hi Ted,
Unfortunately my health problems pretty much dictate what and when I can and cant physically do, so Ive had to give up heaps of things I enjoyed doing but fishing has always been my number one love { apart from family and friends } so Ive been able to concerntrate fully on my fishing, 8) when they measured me up for my wheelchair I had a huge case of the s#*s about not getting around to easy with my fishing gear ,ect, :cry: that they also threw in a scooter rigged with rod holders a trailer hitch and off road wheels, so theres not to many places I cant get around fishing wise. 8)
The only real problems Ive encounted is with the boats ive owned {all very cheap and very basic run arounds } so now I have to set my sights on a boat with electric start and tilt and trim ect, and with some luck should have one pretty soon. :D
Ive also made some pretty fantastic friends through fishing who incude me in their fishing trips, so all in all Im a very happy fishing hillbilly with heaps of time to dedicate to fishing. :D

Karren :wink:
