Newbie

Hey fellow Fishwreckers,
I'm a newly joined member - and long time lurker as Mick C once described it. I have referred to a lot of useful advice on Fishwrecked over the years, given by people with more experience and fishing ability than myself. I figured it was time to get off my arse and make a contribution. I have met Swompa once before at Woodman Pt. Embarrassingly enough, it was because of a flat battery issue (lesson learned). I mostly fish out of Hillary's (local ramp) in a Southwind SF20, with my 2 youngest boys who are both fishing nuts. I also have to admit to regularly following the football banter on here with a grin. I have a couple of trips up North planned in the next 2 months, so hopefully I will have some pics to post and something to write about. Have attached a pic from a good day out around Rotto a few weeks ago with the boys. Apologies if I've done it wrong.
Cheers

Shinks.

 Thanks lads. Yeah Makai the middle boy is the piss taker in the family - as you can tell from the dodgy 80's rave party get. Swompa yeah that was me you were swapping batteries with, and another bloke- 3 at once!!!
