Sorry to hear it Phil…

Keep us posted.

[Mike McKeown]

No way…

Phil, little of what we say will make any difference, but in my mind and the little I have seen of AA, your work is superb. It is not always the most positive thing to say, but, “what will be, will be…” an adage my dad lives by and has taught me… there will be positives out of it and probably a different future.

If you want a challenge, come down here, we’re in dire need of a decent publication…

[Mike McKeown]

Simple, Ceramic help prevent the thread from fraying… I can’t comment on the others, as I only have ceramics…

I rate the bobbin as one of the most important items in a kit, but only really realized how, quite recently… I splashed the cash an bought the C&F one… now I have 2 of them…

[Mike McKeown]

Jim, I like what you have done… Like the Nor Vice too, gotto get my hands on one to test…

I am jealous of most of you guys having sooooo much stuff, must get more stuffsssss, and love the way you guys have sorted it…

BTW, what’s up with the dinosaur and the dragon in the bottom left of your photo, signs of a sprog running rampant???

[Mike McKeown]

Ahh Jim, those are the best to look at, real fishing equipment… still like to have a look see…

Welcome

[Mike McKeown]

Looks like you guys had a ball, Very Well Done

Mario is a good mate of mine…

1. Neal
2. Zach
3. Abe

Sorry guys, I would hate to see you guys shrivel up and burn under the African sun…

On a serious note… I am of Irish decent… Yip, I can’t handle the sun either… I have a few lesions on my hands, on my shins and tops of my feet… I am reluctant to check my ears…

Signs of a miss spent youth, I surfed, sailed, dived, basically, if it was in the sea, I did it…

Good Luck Neal, but knowing you, only the best will raise a knife to you…

[Mike McKeown]

Nice Photos… well done on the exposure and compisition…

[Mike McKeown]

Monkeys Wedding

[Mike McKeown]

I have no, or little need for waders, thus dont own a pair… sorry…

[Mike McKeown]

Like, boot that you wear on your feet, but shorten the middle syllable… I think if you really want to know, Turner Wilkinson said the correct pronunciation at the end of his podcast… just down load it and go to the end…

I had the opportunity to fish the 10′ 4wt Helios today.

Wow, this is an amazing rod – seriously.

[Mike McKeown]

Great podcast, he has a passion and has taken it to the next level…

Also like the fact that he mentioned something I thought was only South Africa, “Monkeys Wedding”…

[Mike McKeown]

Really enjoyed this one, thanks Zach… what a humble and interesting man.

[Mike McKeown]

Now that traveler has seen some action…

But then the fly is in anouther vice???

[Mike McKeown]

then i’m reminded of human anatomy cadaver lab.
smoker lung felt like burnt toast
non smoker lung felt like ocello sponge right out of the packet

But the owners were both dead right???
;D 😀 ;D

either that, or seriously pissed off afterwards…

[Mike McKeown]

Firstly, point of order, he is South African… just trying to become a Kiwi.

Boet is an Afrikaans word meaning “brother”, used as a term of endearment, kind of slang for mate, friend, bud, brother… you get the idea.

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated.

[Mike McKeown]

Thanks Darryl, I am keen on getting a prime lens.
I use Kenko on my 55-200, and Hoya on my kit 14-45.
Thank you for comments and feedback… you know I appreciate them.

Further Update…

I played around with a few things after chatting to Darryl.

[Mike McKeown]

Well Done Will, that is killer… OMG on the pics, OMF on the flies…

Phil sent me a sneak peak, now don’t ask me to send it to you, I promissed to cut off my casting arm, if I forwarded it.
