A day off in Weipa

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]With the early morning sun being low in the sky, it was hard to spot the fish until they where right under your feet, good thing they don’t spook easily.[/size][/font]

[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3][cool]Hi there Strikezone_fly glad to see that you got your new handle. Nice group of pictures of your good looking son. Too bad more Dads don't take their kids fishing. If they don't start them early they will probably be lost to the play station gamey thing.[/size][/green][/font]
