Well, the eyes are square and we're getting somewhere. The preview of 'heads or tails' is nearly in the bag. Compressor says it is 5533 frames down (5620 now). The old batch monitor has a lower number in hours and minutes (I just quit it cause it is depressing), so wee will see wether I sleep on it or wait it out. Don't worry I'm sure there is a setting wrong and I will have to export it again, but hey, welcome to video world where shit goes wrong just because you are tired and sleepy. Soon it will be here for you, while for me blinking becomes scratchy........even though the eyes aren't itchy. 

Caught mid flight in horsy pose, Tosh Nots lines up a turtle for a nostalgic tinge on a trip to Shark Bay, ten hours north of Perth, Western Australia.

Better known for its pink snapper and jumbo tailor (that's buefish for yall states-side) than it's turtle pouncing grounds, the bay proved fun for the boys on their trip last month.

Tosh also proved his new Polar is so stable, that the only way to get thrown off the thing is by the magnetic pull of a turtles shell.....which leads us to a piece of advice......Do not operate a compass near a turtle's shell.

So, what happens when you turn 33? guys dress up as girls and girls, well they dress up as girls. People change the letters on your keyboard and songs aren't played all the way through. At least the burgers are good and the booze flows easy...Your house might end up (someone changed my p to on o) trashed but its all good. Props to Dror and his daughter Caitlin for putting up with 20 burger eating feins and for the best scream off in public ever........i spelt feins wrong...oh well..

Who knows the movie "Running Down the Man"?..I do, and if you don't, you should. This Felt Soul Media production (http://www.feltsoulmedia.com) blew minds (I think a few people might have blown in their pants too) when it was released in 07. Rooster fish are HOT, so make sure you check their "The Craft" section on the site....They are into the environmental side of things too (check Red Gold out)....So on the way down to the shops to buy their movies, pick up some rubbish and do your bit too.

You thought this squirell's nuts were large. Wait till you check out http://www.thisisfly.com/. Boom!..... did someone hear an explosion?... It was probably just the sound of this zine blowing up all over the world. Damn!

Bream tournaments have been living in boom town for a few years now, and one guy that has chosen the same town to dwell in is Brad Yates. With a W.A.B.T (R.I.P) angler of the year trophy under his belt and plenty of top ten finishes, this kid has got the skills to get shit done. You wanna egg cooked?...he can do it....double uni?...with his eyes closed.....ping a bunny at 100 yards?....no problems, just watch the vapor trail......walk down the isle?...easy (we will see in November). Anyway, watch his promo.

Meet Geoff Anderson, he is one of the stars of Heads or Tails. He can father a child and cast a fly like the best of them (he can tie them as-well). Sure this isn't one of the many permit he caught for the movie camera, but it's just as iconic. The Fitzroy River trip was a good chance to unwind and escape the filming blues. Pinning a few barra on the fly was a bonus. Hey, the barramundi might even be the star of the next flick........if they pass the audition.

The camera guys gets to fish too.....after a previous trip where next to no fishing was done it was good to be able to get a chance to have a wave at some permit. The first fished hooked was promptly popped (it's not a tuna Phil) but the second one stuck all the way to the boat.......

Well filming is nearly complete on our first project... Heads or Tails.
The north of Western Oz has been pretty kind to those involved, with the permit sticking their tails up for plenty of shots by both anglers and the camera.

The wind sucked in the mornings on our last trip, making conditions difficult for casting and shooting from the boat, but both Geoff and Simon managed fish in the shitty conditions. It was a great sight seeing fish feeding over reef flats as waves broke over them...and us.

Geoff took a dive after being washed off a rock...permit in hand. And I took a dive with thousands of dollars of camera equipment in mine...Luckily Geoff was there to save the day and keep the camera dry.....and my smoke...ha!

The official trailer should be released soon..just need to get all the new footage on the computer and start chopping....Keep an eye out.
