Long weekend washout!!!!

[Aussie]

We had along weekend here in Oz,so i decided to pack up the boat and head up to Laurington ( about an hour north)for a couple of day's fishing.From the day we left until the time i got home it did not stop raining and the wind never stopped blowing,it still is as i write this.It was recorded as the most rainfall we've had in 8 month's.

We ended getting out for a fish and caught a few good bream and flathead until my electric decided not to work, to say the fishing was uncomfortable and darn near impossible would be an understatement.Other than the weather it was good to get out of the house for a few day's..

I'm going to get up there again soon and explore more of this beautiful part of the world,as i didnt get to see as much as i wanted.!!!

Sorry i havnt got more to add but it just wasnt a weekend for boating and fishing.
But hey..the BBQ,or what you guy's call a cookout was unreal and the food just tasted really good and we had plenty of it..!!!!

Sorry to hear fishing was a bust. At least it was better than working.

I'm going to look for Toohey's. I have a liquor store that carries hard to find beers from around the world.

A couple of interesting ones: Tetley's. When you pop the can, it has a widget that carbonates the beer.

Yes sir! So cold there is just a little ice forming! That is the perfect temp for beer for me. :cheers:

The glass(the small one in the pic) is just enough to piss you off.
