What time did you get in.  I waited around for a bit at the ramp to see how you fared.   Get my card on the windscreen?

Actually I was waiting around to get my tracking device off your hull.  Please send it to me OK.

Good on you Lethal.  It looked pretty flat out there yesterday at Omaha.  Smooth all the way back too?

Bill

Hi Peter Squid..... from the photo its a bit hard to tell but the bottom one is the darkest and i would of thought it had been on the reef for maybe a month at least..... the largest one had very large teeth biggest i have seen for sometime.....

Billfish...... about 5.00pm maybe a bit after...... yep got your card..... sorry i missed you...... checked the hull found the divice have reprogramed it to blow up on arriving at our destination so the snapper will be well burleyed up for when we arrive next time ......

thanks Woody.... LOL ...... will let you know how they turn out.......

Wicked Lethal, much more of this and you will have to keep a watch over your shoulder......... those dots in the distance..... forum members boats either that or you had better find a good safe for your chart plotter.

Great pic of the Comm boat..... very appropriate name indeed. They are now famous.... well with us anyways.

Lethal - the only way I know for sure to guarantee light winds is for me to go sailing. Like this week - doing some work with the guys on Zana the new 100ft maxi racer. It's fair to say the weather has meant she's going nowhere fast.

Perhaps if I pretend I'm going sailing the winds might be fair this weekend.

Nice fish mate and well done. Hope to catch up with you at Omaha one day - haven't seen you since you were with penn.

Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water.

Beautiful Lethal, beautiful.

I have a bone to pick. Seeing your photos on the site has inspired me to lash out on a new digital camera, thereby putting me offside with the Chief Executive Officer (or was that the pic I took of her in the dressing gown and threated to post on moment of fame dotcom.

Now I need one of those trick lenses that makes all the fish look 10lb +

Nice report Lethal. I've had a few trips like that but then the alarm goes off.
