PERTH ARRIVAL!!!

 G'day all,
My return to Perth has been as expected with many issuez and also joyous happenings.
As the first pic showz there R still heaps of phish when you know where to look.
Big ash and I headed offshore on Friday chasing a feed of whiting.
We caught a few (57) plus something much bigger came to play. Afta several big bust offs we upsized the gear and revealed a couple of nice gummy sharks.
We covered lotz of ground on a perfect day weather wise with good results coming from just inside Rottnest Island.
We found a heap of good sized sand whiting while the 2 gummy sharks  made up the kilo's.
In Perth currently you aren't allowed to catch any fish that swims on the bottom or is bigger than a 30 cent piece, so we did pretty good considering I don't hold a current West Australian boat fishing licence.
Bloody rulez and regs!
The fisheries in W.A make catching a feed a difficult problem unless u think outside the box as Ash and I did. With the demersal closure in effect we had to chase different species so we targeted big sand whiting.
Ash's new boat worked a treat with the calm water we set off at a pace that makes Galleycat look just like a snail.
Mr Mick is due back in Australia in around 10 dayz so I'm hoping for a few more trips out wide B4 I return to Townsville.

I've only had thyme to catch up with a few mates so far but with my work schedule easing I should get more opp's too catch up with Carl, Tony, Hanni plus a few others as well.
Unlike Big Ash who's catching a few zzz's B4 anutha big nite.
A gr8 BIG Aussie G'day to Miss Mermaid who'z made contact again afta being absent for a long while.
Also g'day 2 Alicia (another blast from the past)
It seemz everyone here is busy with their lives and itz twice as busy as B4 I left. With a bit of luck I'll catch up with everyone at least once.

Tiling was the main reason I came back and that task has begun with the upstairs sunroom being tiled during my first week here.
The rest of the house isn't quite ready yet, with downstairs awaiting render and cupboards while upstairs I'm waiting for a stainless steel grating system to arrive. This will allow me to set the "falls" on the floor so the water drainz towards the grating. Once the floor is set I can then apply the waterproofing to the shower recess and bottom corner before the floor to ceiling tiling begins.

The other major reason for my visit is to try and locate Cameron my missing son who would be 13 years old now and hasn't been seen since he was just 3.
The lawyer type people have been and filled out all the necessary forms to begin court proceedings. But I'll be happy just finding out he's alive and happy.
this has been identified by the head doctors as one of the reasons for my depressive episodes.
Until then the tiling will continue along with any other jobs I can help out with on site.
 As I mention my fishing partner Mr Mick is returning to Australia this week.
 So I see many days spent on the ocean reliving former days.
Thatz all for now but I'm sure more will follow over the coming weex B4 I return to Townsville and The Yot!
