My Mannn!! How have you been!?! how's the new job treating you? :-). Rest easy mate glad we could put some nice pictures in your head before you hit the snooz button :-)

@@CoastalChaosAdventures I'm Fantastic!!! The Job was Great but my leg swole up so much I couldn't get my prosthetic on after a couple days. I have a new leg that will be ready in a week or so but I spoke to my Boss and told her what was going on and we agreed that I would resign for right now and once the leg situation improves to keep them posted and they will bring me on again once all is working better. I felt really bad leaving them just before the Christmas rush starts, but I'm happy that they will work to bring me back on again once I'm healthy. Now how are you two? How's Uni and work going for you guys? I'm flying out to Vancouver the first week of October to catch the Queens of the Stone Age concert with an old flame and then spend a few days visiting and going over to Vancouver Island for a few days to see friends there too while I'm out. This will be the first "Holiday" I'll have taken since 2002. I'll even look at trips down your way if I can find something reasonable. Of course by reasonable I mean cheap but, if I ever do find a cheap return fare to Australia for a week or two I will immediately let you know Mate!! Maybe we can all hang out for a weekend or something and if it's nice hit the big Blue for a wee adventure!! I have to refill the chocolate bars from your Christmas prezzies as they must have gone stale by now so after Halloween I'll fill up the box with goodies and send it off to you, I know it's a year late so I may have thrown a few extras in just to be really Canadian and say "Sorry". Talk again soon Mate, Hope you're having a Fantastic day!!!

Indeed it is! One of those ones that will stay with me for life :)

hahahaha can't help it when I get excited lol glad you enjoyed it :-)

hahaha glad you enjoyed it mate!! One of those days for sure doesn't get much better than that :-)

Hahahaha mate I got super lucky this trip! Was an amazing experience

It was a bit like that for me too mate haha I totally forgot all about the fishing after that end of day experience haha

indeed it was! Hopefully not the last :-)

Anytime! :-) Yess they were mine too but 100% lion fish are even better if you get the chance haha I can't get over how good they are !

@@CoastalChaosAdventures I’ve seen a couple of Florida based fishing channels rave about Lion fish too… one day 🤪

@@ianwollstein8974 worth the effort mate!

pretty cool hey! So gentle and accurate with their movements its insane on a creature so big!

was so unexpected was the perfect ending!! :-)

hahahaha yes was some nervous laughter thought that one

I think I was more dirty she didn't get the chance to experience that my man! haha would have been one for the memory banks for sure !!

Cheers legend!! Glad you enjoyed it :-)

Glad you enjoyed it!

hahahahahahahaha I suppose it is pretty obvious hey ! lol

I know I even felt bad showing Tal when I got home how amazing it was :-( Work and UNI are taking hold these days with the weekends being very average weather but hopefully that changes soon :-)

I know right! Cool encounter for sure :-)

The best! So happy I got a good session in with them before the season ended :-)

Haha they make you feel small in a boat that size don’t they!!

haha yea I'm actually going to invest in a wireless kill switch lanyard I think as it's coming up to marlin season and I do a lot of solo trips. Deep dropping is a lot more fun than it looks haha and just about everything that comes up is 10/10 on the plate

yeah the pucker factor was there for me at that part too

haha I had to say day back lol

hahahahahaha I could imagine a few people would be using other words! lol

@@CoastalChaosAdventures absolutely 💯 ❤️

Hey guys… I would have been there for the best part of half an hour with that pod before they finally swam off far enough for me to start the motor and waddle out of there

Thank you!👍

haha was pretty crazy!! Glad you enjoyed it :-)

hahaha it was a bit of a nervous happy moment lol

hahahahahaha she would have run for the hills!! lmao

why thank you! :-)

Hey mate! I can confirm the ornate are bloody good on the plate haha would be keen to get stuck in to a few more :-). Im currently running a lowrance HDS Live 16 with a 1KW armar 175L through hull. works good on nice days but struggles in choppy conditions at anything over 250m

@@CoastalChaosAdventures awesome mate I'm a Garmin man myself have a 125sv with a 600w GT51 haven't tested it over 150m yet. My plan this year is to venture out around 250m to find some CQ Bar Cod and Flameys if this bloody wind dies down. Only going to get worse with summer coming unfortunately

True? Thanks for the tip mate I’ll have to try that when I make sup some new rigs 👌👌✅✅

Hey mate my boats pretty fuel efficient I usually do between 150-170 litres depending on the weather and how wide a travel and average roughly 2 kilometres per litre.

haha nailed it!!!

unfortunately she had to work mate I had some time off from my job so had a chance to sneak out mid week while we had a small weather window

Rogee Mate Cheers
