Well isn't it amazing who turns up at these sites.<br>My girlfriend got the fishing bug after she caught her first barramundi (lates calcarifer), a much sought after fish in the northern parts of Australia. Since then she only asks for fishing gear for her birthday and xmas. She even picked out my latest boat, what else could I do but buy it! Beauty of it all is she lets me use her gear (which is much more expensive than mine) when she decides it's either too hot or she's had too many JD's the night before. Best of both worlds really. It is starting to become a little depressing though as my ego continues to suffer. Problem is, she has become quite an accomplished angler and now regularly catches more fish and often varieties I'm yet to land. Now instead of buying her fishing gear, I'm buying her bottles of JD.<br>Haveagoodone<br>Steve Carrigg<br>Broome, West Oz<br><br><br>
