Back from Australia

Thanks alot, Andy.  I thought we were on the same page too.  I look forward to getting after some game with you some time in the future.  

That cast had character all right, lol.  I forgot about that.  That was my luckiest moment of the trip.

I am sure that you two are very amused, remeniscing about that cast, but the view from here appears to be of Pat struggling with a diving Rapala that snagged on a sunken log, or the weighted body of the last client.

Well, there could be bodies down there if the crocs didn't get em.  It's dangerous not to compliment Mick on his cooking.

THANKS a ton for sharing everything....

Awesome story and pics...the terrain is amazing!

Still want the story of the all-star cast. You get Andy's pants on the backswing?

I caught a German Shepherd learning to flyfish.

Nothing like that.  We were using spinning reels. I think I retrieved on a loose line on prior cast and got wrapped around the spool.  Cast went maybe 10 feet and the crankbait slammed the water like a boulder. The stupid big catfish must have been hungry for a boulder.

Pat,
I'm sitting here after back surgery on the edge of my chair with each stalk you made.  After each suspenseful stalk, I had to resist going to the end to see if you finally got one!  Great story telling on a spectacular hunt. Congrats  

Andy,
PM me sometime with your thoughts on knife designs & size for the outback.  I'd like to see if a tippit blade would hold up to those critters.

Thanks Jeff,
I could tell by talking to Andy in camp that he really enjoyed spending time hunting with you.  I hope that your back surgery went well and hope that it wasn't too serious.

That's what I was looking for! Whenever I did that I would pop the lure off into the depths, sans line. Or give free food to the bluegills.
