Yes I have to thanks Ashley from the great blog: She Loves To Fish for my new fishing cap.
Not long ago, she had a little caption competition on her blog, and the three top captions would win a fishing hat.
Of course I entered, thinking that me being in Australia, and her blog in Canada, my chances were rather slim...
But hey I won a cap!
Thanks Ashley!
And the good people from Hobbie Fishing, sent it to me directly here in tropical Australia.
Do you want to see how it fits me?
Here it is:
Hey hey hey!!!
Rather nice no?
In fact I am very happy with it.
And the Hobbie people didn't stop at just sending me a fishing cap, no, they also sent me some little goodies.
Two stickers and two tube of lips balm.
Thanks guys!
And here is the proof in image:
The full package.
And no, I will not tell you what my caption was, if you really want to know, just go and check out Ashley's blog.
But now you may ask how on earth, a guy fishing for Barramundi and pelagic in the salt waters in the north of Australia came across a blog about Steelhead, pike and mostly fresh water fishing based in Canada? Yes this is about as far as two side of fishing can be.
(But remind me a lot about the fishing I was doing as a kid in Europe, which is why I now follow her blog).
Well it is pretty simple, I found it on the blog roll of another very good fishing blog.
The blog called Xstreem Fishing...
This is a blog about fishing in Fiji, and is a lot closer of the type of fishing that I practice, or at least dream of doing.
I have not been able to fish with this hat yet, as I have had to stay home with a bad cold for a few days now... So I can't show you any photos of the new cap in action...
But hey, it could be worse.
Have a good day,
Me.

My friend, congrats on the prizes. Well deserved.
Also thank you for the shout out. We too have been having the most atrocious weather I've seen in a long time so that means no fishing.
Thanks again.
Tight lines
Hi Fish Whisperer,
You truly deserved the shout out, the stories and photos that you post on your blog are top notch!
It always made me dream.
Have a good day,
Me.

Hi there,

So get out there and win it!
Have a good day,

Hello there down under.

And looks like a snug fit.
Well done with caption. and watch out for the crocs!
All the best. Dr. Frank-in-Spain
Hola Dr. Frank-in-Spain,
Funny movie on your blog...
;-)
And yes Crocodiles are my biggest fear when fishing down here...
Have a good day,
Me.
Hello there.
I was joking about the crocodiles, but obviously they're a real threat!
And I complain about mosquitoes!
The video is mocking late night TV here. One day I'll do one in English.
Take care. Frank
Hi Simon,
More people die every year around the world because of disease carried by mosquitoes that by being eaten by a crocodile you know...
Not trying to scare you or anything, but be carful too...
;-)
Have a good day,
Me.
Hello again,
LOL, at the moment (not sure for how long) West European mosquitoes just give bothersome bites. However, there have been some isolated cases of malaria, and a woman was bitten by a Funnel Web Spider in England about 11 years ago.
That's globalisa.ion for you.
All the best. Frank
It was a “false Widdow Spider”, sorry I’m not very well informed on spiders. Here’s the link

If you don’t want to publish as a comment then don’t because it has Little to do with fishing. Just read for your own interest.
Hi Frank,
Don't worry, I won't delete these comment, as they are interesting.
No problems to talk about other things than fishing.
In fact this blog started as a generalist blog, and quickly turned in being more fishing orientated than anything else...
But other things as long as they are interesting and not offensive are welcome here.
Have a good day,
Me.
