queensland Snakes Alive

[Dinodadog]

Took Jake the grandson for a fish yesterday arvo, after the doc and the gym.On arrival Jake yells look at that, a king brown was slithering under the container right next to Rays car.This put the hair up on the back of the neck. Then when we launched we seen some thing I have never seen before, a quail jumped out from side of road and was running across the grass, with a snake about 2 meters behind it,I have seen a lot of snakes in my time but never seen one move that fast,you would not be able to outrun that pace. Seen Ray and yelled out to him to keep his  eyes open near the car, by the look on his face I dont think he heard me.

Anyway on the fishing front, we had a good arvo on the bait, wind made it to hard for trolling, managed a couple of 50s out of 44 caught.

It's amazing how fast a snake can travel in a straight line.

Good solid fish.

Spooky. Was it warm? They must be hungry after the winter. 

Nice fish too.

Grandson looks happy.

Note to self: Never dress like a quail.

I have stepped on 3 lots of mating red belly blacks in my time, the noise they make untwinding, is enough to keep me hanging onto that skyhook for several seconds.

I've seen Ellicat dressed up as a fisherman, but it didn't help him much.

Seen a massive red belly black the other day, I can deal with most things but not snakes! Looking trim there Dino lost afew kgs I see 

[Dinodadog]

I dont know weather its the gym or old age, down from 115kg a few years back to 97kg but still got a gut.

I don't know what's worse, I've come across a good amount of browns out there which give me the spooks, but when you walk close to a group of those quails hidden in the grass and they all take off at the same time right in front of your face it scares the crap out of me !!!

My wife's only met you once Brian (make of that what you will ..... ) which was at the Colmslie boat ramp for Clean Up Australia Day on one of those glorious occasions when you wore a wig and she still refers to you as 'the guy with the pink wig' .......
