How'd it go retro?
Get a feed or the usual ?

Got a feed Ken, only went local for bream and flathead {coochiemudlo island} , got a couple of nice bream just over 40cm's and busted off 4 times..!!, not sure what it was but it didn't want to get caught, was only using 8lb line... ;)
PS, should have taken a squid jig... 8)

I recently met a lady who emigrated from Siberia. She told me that she considers our snowy winters mild and beautiful, as it is too cold and dry to snow much there.

We got our 10" of snow, and the polar vortex is on the way with battery busting low temps of -1F
The grandkids are making snowmen and we are probably going sledding tonight!

Military weather meterologists are not allowed to be wrong as flight operations and or equipment movement, etc depends upon the accuracy. They can face disciplinary actions for huge mistakes the civilian counterparts make.
