Bill is currently at home, he got paroled from hospital I believe his demands were to great for the nurses with sponge baths and the likeLOL He's managed to fend for himself on a couple occiasions by cooking himself some fish and eggs (Georie has seen through his ruse) before heading back to the comfort of his bed. Will look to stop in and see him on way home from boat show next week.]]> Wed, 06 May 2026 05:05:19 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=140107&PID=1844983&title=uncle#1844983 <![CDATA[Uncle : scuzzymoto wrote:Great guy...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=140107&PID=1844982&title=uncle#1844982 Author: smudge

Yeah he makes some great stuff alright. I only get his messages as I'm in Auckland and I guess they go out to a tribe. He certainly isn't one to grizzle and he certainly appreciates those of you who drop off some fresh fish to him. Good friends to have.

I have never met Bill, but he was very willing to offer me advice when I was new to the forum and asking lots of questions to try to make up for lost time with softbaiting and kingie fishing. He even sent me some of his famous bait jigs, and some older model Slug-Gos that he recommended for Tauranga kingies in the shallows. I've never forgotten his generosity.

So all the very best, 'Uncle'. Whatever health issues you're having to tackle, I'm sure you are doing it with a bit of humour, and some stoic grit.

Yepp, he certainly has a sense of humour. He is generous for sure. Kitno must be one of his closest mates. Hope youre doing ok too
