Title: The Blowfly has landed
Post by: trout on March 19, 2014, 03:26:42 PM
Just Got a call From Shane letting me know that the Mint has finally sent him the coins.
Can't believe I am getting exited about getting a Blowfly, Better not let Mrs Trout see it or she will spray it :)

I have a friend holidaying in Canberra who is picking a 'blowie' up for me.!!  To some they may be 'maggots' but to any S.A. fisherman they are a killer garfish and herring (Tommy Ruff) bait and are known as 'little gentlemen'.!  :wavemulticolor:

A friend of Mark's who is not a coin collector bought one of these after hearing about it from him. I guess there's appeal somewhere.
