ZAMBIA: Zambian Adventure At Takeri Game Reserve

[ActionBob]

..........luck is like a wheel barrow , you gotta push it to make it go anywhere.....

Right on bluey!

 

[bluey]

tonight is so bloody hot again ,
woke at 230 hot and windy ,still ,laid there drinking water and listening to the hippos ,pissing and moaning about something .
there sound is becoming the norm , and im really going to miss it in a couple of days.
the dawn just got hotter ,this day was the hottest by far , since arriving in this garden of eden.
on the way up stream this morning there was wildlife everywhere , all the usual , hippo , crocs , water and bush buck . fish eagles were out. and kilpspringers ,

fishing is quiet today .

we are right up the park
out of the wind most of the time
so its real hot
me and patsy go for a bit of dip .
not many aussies would've had the opportunity to do this , I rekon

 

[bluey]

at lunch we have a picnic on the bank few beers and lots of laughs .
patsy has her siesta
while we half hartedly fish
today pete landed 2 ,I got 1 and patsy and spike were out for a duck .
we fished our way back to kingfisher
returned after dark , another cracker feed , and a skin full of drinks
I cant imagine returning back to my normal life ,after this trip . im dreading it .....
slept like a baby tonight , never even woke ,till I smelt the boys fueling up mikes boat ,at dawn .

"today pete landed 2 ,I got 1 and patsy and spike were out for a duck "

yup i was too busy keeping an eye on you after you had developed a taste for baptizing yourself in the zambezi..... then......my excuse anyway

 

[bluey]

the rest of the pictures ,never loaded . will reload them later in the morning . sorry service is in and out down here

25 hours and 49 throws at my net , and its hanging off the back of the boat .......
a heap of rotten fish in it and plenty of net work to do , but its mine again ..........
time to fill some boxes........

 

[spike.t]

well done more patience than i would have had!!

 

[ActionBob]

Congrats on the recovery bluey!

I love how in this day in age, someone still knows how to do real work when it comes to net work and is not talking all hip about networking

 

[Nyati]

Well done, Bluey

Given the residents of that river it is kind of important to have a spotter! or at least a witness..

I'm on an evening pass from the asylum. I'm in a great mood and everything is funny.

As far as i can remember, considering the temperature and beer consumption, there was some posh-ness to Mike that day...

If i recall correctly, he was about to start slaying the tiger fish with his brand new TigerWakka... A fancy looking new spinner that was going to make us all look like we were wasting our time!!
So Mike takes to the front of the boat, commands his new TigerWakka to go catch him a fish, sends it hurtling into the sky above the Zambezi River to search out a monster, only to have his line snap mid cast and watch his new "special" lure go arcing gracefully into the depths of the Zambezi!!
To which his response in a most posh tone was "Oh, F**k!!"
He then promptly wound up his line, sat back in the captains chair and enjoyed the rest of his day, staying well hydrated of course!
