    I'm here Steve B.

    It is one of those cases where we can't be in 65 places at once, but we are getting there. I have had a thorough winter and have achieved a great deal on many topics. From filming sharks, stingrays and cobia, and crayfish, and anything else that moved underwater in the ocean to jumping in mangrove creeks filming barra, mangrove jack and a host of other interesting scenes with many creek species has been eventful and rewarding. Heading slightly off shore further filming parts of the spanish mackerel DVD, as well as constructing the Lake Monduran DVD, and co-writing the learning, camping, fishing and Australian lifestyle booklet/guide that will form a good base for travelling and learning anglers has eaten into my winter. Working on the big barra book on impoundmment barra, general boat maintenance, lure tuning, lake homework, charters and so on has seen me divided between locations. A big season is ahead with expanding the world of barramundi fishing concepts and ideas for every angler who wants to learn. Coming up with ideas of how to help explain and teach anglers in the fuzz of modern world has been a challenge, but we have finally made a start. An updated website to include part of my expanded business will be on-line soon. I'm looking forward to another year of Awoonga chartering as well as yet another chapter in changing lakes and adjusted fishing. I have a selection of different lures that I believe will help considerably in this next year in Awoonga.
    Cheers.

    Nagg,
    I'll keep you posted when things are much closer. As far as the English version goes, it is somewhat difficult to describe advanced topics in simple form in a short space, but I have downgraded to a simpler level that will be understood by 'most'! To be honest, I can't describe things any simpler, maybe anglers need to grow into my work at the same time that I change my words to suit all levels. It is a tough ask when many readers minds are already tuned to a different pitch. The end result that I beckon for is anglers who think, learn, expand as individuals, and be open to the extensive topic that they wish to learn more on.
    Cheers,
    JM

    Ahhh mate I knew you'd be reading our dribble!!! I was worried we hadn't heard from you for a while.!!! Sounds like everything is coming along well with your busy plans. Looking forward to the website too....almost as much as the book/s. It will be great to have indepth knowledge revealed in publication that appeals to more experience anglers too. Instead of the typical 'cast red headed banana at the brown forked tree' type articles/books that are aimed at the greater % being the once a year angler.

    This year will be something special for all of us I reckon. The numbers of anglers hitting our 2 main dams will be phenominal. I am rubbing my hands together for the fellas and ladies on here who have been given a head start advantage with mental and tactical preparation from the sharing of info from the guys I regard as pros right down to the novices. We are going to need it to stay ahead of the crowds.

    Soon all this funny dribble will be replaced in a couple of months time with 'check out my 120cm barra' stories everywhere....well I bloody hope so anyway!!

    cheers steve.

    Your right Matt, the two blokes in a tuppaware dish from Awoonga have been leading the pace so far......although I have seen a fair bit of big fish Tinaroo style being produced by the boss latley!!!

    Love it. we need a genuine correspondant from Faust and Teemburra!!!

    Fightin' words steve....be careful or i'll "out" you for your own dalliances with the dark side...... you know you want one. handy for keeping ice cool too! no nasty burns from standing on the "hotplate" in those silly tin things. ....or worse, sitting on it wouldn't want to be on duty for those nasty burns to the candy purse for any punters going commando.

    oh and you've upset the cook!
