Stunning as ever John,your photo's capure so much "atmosphere", and are

more than just scenic.

Just one small point, my mother who was a WAF during WW 2 said that

the Germans reported sinking the ,Ark Royal, several times .......

I assume you have built a new one by now

As for us we have no Aircraft Carrier as the last one kept ramming and sinking

various of our own & allied warships(The Melbourne)

Time to resurrect this topic maybe.   A Wheatear, (migrating in for the summer) it was very close to where I parked for a walk yesterday and was still around when I got back, so I got the camera out

Hi Kingfisher, funny you should mention The Melbourne I have a brother-in-law who was on The Voyager which was one of those Aussie ships rammed and sunk by the Melbourne.

 

Luckily Alan was one of those who survived. He sometimes still has nightmares over the incident mainly due to the fact that he saw so many of his shipmates eaten by sharks before they could be rescued. I guess Alan was to little to be counted as much of a meal by the sharks.

 

The Voyager Captain was blamed for the incident as he was said to be under the influence. Alan has always said this was untrue and as he was the Captains Chief Yeoman it seems to me he was in a good position to know.

:D John as you can see I am incorrigeable in chasing Kings no matter what .

This is my good mate George who had been unable to get a Kingy for a month.

In 2 days I was able to find 7 for him to have a shot at ,after loosing a 12lb one he nailed this. In the previous 2 days I got 3 to 70cm/2'3''.Have not lost my touch as I only got back to Sydney 4 days ago !

It would be my pleasure to get you onto them John.

Just a reminder that they are only in the Harbour from Nov to May.They move to offshore Reefs in winter so a Charter is the only alternative at those times.

Nice picture,like yer style Chris !!! :D I need to catch one of those Kingies :rolleyes: Plan to land in Sydney mid Sept and we will spend a week or so with Amanda before going "walkabout". Will be returning to Sydney towards the end of November to spend more time with Amanda. Would dearly love to team up again mate :)

It's a done deal ,you are most welcome.

A word of warning tho' Nov Kingy's are the biggest & toughest mothers you will ever find

I use 100lb and still get busted off !

I am off on a round Oz trip in the next couple of months but will be ready & willing when you are back in Sydney.

I am sending you a pm , hoping that you will be. Able to post it on this site towards the end of the month , you have the pics to go with the post I believe.
