Question
QUESTION: Just wondering if you would be up for taking a Canadian fishing around shoal bay and maybe going for pies and lamingtons afterwards?

Paul

ANSWER: You haven't said when.
Shortly I'm heading off to Italy so your timing might be bad.  Let me know.
Also, fishing at Shoal Bay isn't really worthwhile.  You need to go elsewhere to throw a line in.
Anyhow, I'll wait till you reply re the dates.
Cheers, Ian

QUESTION: Hello Ian!

Is this the Ian Smith from Newcastle that took a couple of canadians fishing back in 2000?

It's Paul from Vancouver.I tried emailing you a long while ago, but your old email address was no longer active if this is the same Ian Smith My email Address is  

Answer
It is indeed.  I too was wondering how you were going.
Your email address didn't come up but mine is iandsmith then 69 then @ then hotmail.com
I split it up because that usually allows it to get through.
Now, I'm off to Italy next week but do keep in touch.
I may come to Canada next year.
Also, when I saw the query it did cross my mind that it might be you.
I've also got heaps of pages on virtualtourist.com under iandsmith.
Anyhow, I'm not on my computer at the moment and have to go.
Cheers, Ian

I have surfed, raced motorcycles, ordinary cycles and a bit of fishing through much of the area as well as working there selling 5 days a week.
