Somethin' fishy here. :D
Thought I'd get out this avo and get some practice at Area69 (I've been told this location is classified and requires a security clearance :shock: ...) in the hope of producing a trip report worthy of contribution. The sky was dark and looming clouds threatened inundation - vocally supported by the incessant cicadas. The Elgrand was pimped and ready to roll...

:shock:
NO fish :twisted:

Arrived at the picturesque Area69 replete with object d'art

and proceeded to throw lures into the water attached to Ado's newest rod - mine's down the coast.
Started with the infamous micromin (leopard - mrrrrooowww ;-) ) - result: snags. Followed with ecogear - result: snags. Followed with Blade - Result: massive snag. :(

Ridiculous. Decided to think like a fish. Small brown fish. Moving fast. Near the shoreline. YEEEAAAHHH - go the Sexy SX..mmmmm

As I hooked up the lurid lure I heard a splash and saw a bunch of tiny fish swimming crazily just to my right - there's fish in there!
Chucked it in and immediately hooked a winner! EPIC! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

I was happy tho - still got it Cec, I thought, still got it you old boiler! :lol:
And then the sky went dark and there was a flash of light, twilight music, and all of a sudden I hooked a giant UFO! :shock:

Unidentified Fishy Object


NO IDEA WTF that was so threw it back and got the hell outa there.......discretion is the betta part of valour I say.... ;-)
By the time I got home all was normal again and I was able to gloat to Ado about my 100% success rate. 8) hehehe. No competition here.

This is the Bungendore Massive No2 signing off. Take care of each other and beware of weird fluffy alien fish.

Better to buy the mushrooms from the shop than to risk the ones under the tree. :D

Nice chairs, reminds me of the open air theater in Sydney.

I'm presuming you mean Charles Darwin there :D

That is the eye of the first kingfish I caught from the kayak.
And he was over 65 cm so he got eaten.
