What is your connection with Sparrow? Checked out the boat the other day at the Mooloolaba Yacht Club. No clears on the bridge? Must be a dry running boat! Get any bites from good ones up there on the big baits?

as a matter of fact that does look like paradise, because we stayed at a friends town house called lahana(i think that how its spelt) at clifton beach so that shot is deep intrenched in my mind. as for the missas i wouldent have it any other way, and i dont think she would either.Brony loves fishing , she never misses a chance because she never want to miss out on a great day on the water. the hardest part was converting her from the colder climat of being a ski instructor but mission acomplished.

the conection to sparrow was my mate rossco is good friends with the owner and has fished with sparrow for a few years on the reef. not really that dry, but fast , that pic with the wake we were doing 32 kn at cruise. they had a camera on the swim bait and we saw one looker at 500 as well as 2 cut offs from cuta and wahoo. the the camera was the best, we spent the night watching 1000pounders + on the big plasma screen take the swim bait. as well as other footege from the season. the footage was awsome and his deckie teddy had othe cameras on the boat (i wish i had that footage) i also think teddy will be in sydney tomorrow so i think we might have to go for a couple of cooled ones before he goes back to kona.
