Well said Paddy will be at the Shrine for the Dawn service was lucky to be at Gallopoli dawn service 2 years ago brings home the sheer courage of what they faced and how senseless the campaign was the terrain was unbelievable.

Post subject:  Re: portland tuna!

Got back from portland last night. Tuna, but onlyy to 11.5 kg...

Paddy, bit late for kings mate but spearing a small SBT or albi doesn't seem too hard...

We had both in our berly trail...

Not sure if you';d want to jump in when a decent Mako could turn up at any moment though...

I busted my fricken sternum again so no spearing ror me for a bit...

Have managed to get from Eden to portland in the last two weeks though and get Kings and SBT's so I'm a pretty happy fella!

Rich.

Edit - Tuna were caught from a 5 meter tinny!
