Toby the ice sounds thin down Wairoa. I can hear it cracking under you feet.... Wait could that be EeeBees trying out the stock whip she just plaited up to open your back with?

Good snack there, how long did it take to wind all them wrigglers in, I find it hard to figure whether they are hooked or not, have just started developing a long line system that should catch at least a sandwich full at a time. :-) On a by note apparently there were good catches near the naval base at Devonport, a cousin used to regularly stock up when still serving there.
