On Wednesday I took my first day off in 13 weeks, and took a few friends out fishing… One was visiting from Japan, one had his eldest son visiting from the UK and another was just escaping the typical Gold Coast Xmas-load of house guests!  The day was overcast – HOT – with storms threatening.  The water (after the previous night’s storms) was a dirty milky colour… NO WAY were we going to find a marlin… But, just before mid-day…   Pictures here…
