El Presidente Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Three days of travel and we have arrived in the middle of the Amazon jungle at Agua Boa Lodge. Brisbane-LAX-Miami-Manuas and then a light plane for a 500 km flight to the lodge. I am here with Des, Greg and Macho. Quick breakfast, debrief from Welsh manager Taffy, allocation of guides and we were away for a half days fishing. Some great fish country. Macho managed to pull a 17 lb Peacock bass but the photo's are on Des's camera. will post when i get back. It is damn hot and humid but some exceptional fishing country. Loooong day. I look forward to posting some updates later in the week. Sitting here at the lodge smoking a Punch RS 12, bottle of Cab sav...typing this from the pool. Personal score was 12 fish for the afternoon. Nothing of any great size but a ton of fun nonetheless. Catch up with you soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finecigar Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Amazing photos! What an opportunity there presidente! Peacock Bass are such beautiful fish, in my opinion. I would be smoking some memorable cigars at a time like that- to go along with some nice fishings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 that bottom one is not bad. hi to all. just green. smithy due soon for the gran reserva vid. sent you some texts re the disaster last night. still livid with the screamingly incompetent tosspot (and an awful lot more words inappropriate to this family forum) jarpie ref that screwed us royally. you would not have believed the reds from last season. night and day. very encouraging. greatest injustice since, well i can't think of a greater one. needless to say, the world's softest player, that scumbag barnes, came off with 20 to go. seems someone ruffled his hair. and it was only then that nsw looked vaguely okay. and fair warning to all, anyone posts on this forum anything anti-reds or pro-tahs this week, and they will be edited into announcing that they are a kiddyfiddler. not happy.

Ken Gargett Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 actually, on closer inspection, that bottom photo looks like you've ripped the wooden fish off the fence in the earlier shot and stuck a hook through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa1257 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Thats the largest fish I have ever seen El Prez hold up for a camera, finally something to tell Ken to STFU. You run a business and can't drink wine everyday like Ken. Great photos mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeafLover Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 You think the indigenous people of the Amazon would take to CC's? That would be classic if you can take a pic of one of them smoking a CoRo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
