[quote="bandit"]hey mate,

this is an old post my old man rossco did awhile back.. thought it may interest you. he was living in gove in the 70's and 80's. few scans/pics attached. ill have to look through the albums at home im sure theres more kicking around..

Hey Bandit, showed the photos to Mark Milne who is an electrician on the rig I am working on at the moment. He is also in the bottom picture you posted next to the barracuta. He knows Rosco quite well and wants to know where he is at now? Mark also mentioned he beat your old man's sailfish by 500gms. Photo below. Story was that your Dad weighed the fish and wanted to re-weigh the fish later so he kept his record

Lats - that's a great pic mate, do you know where abouts that was taken ? Yeah if you are willing to pm me some of those pics that would be great, at the new fishing club house there is a big photo wall and reckon all the older photos would look awesome up there.
Anything you are willing to let us use would be a great help
Cheers :cheers:

Kp NT it would have been Gove as I believe Mark was the secretary of the club. I only posted that photo with Mark over my shoulder. I dont have any other photos of that time... sorry
