Yet another great story Al. My grandfather Alston Fowler hails from Ulludulla. I caught my 1st fish on the original timber wharf, a bream on a piece of cheese in 1963. I'll get back to Ulludulla someday and thank you for sharing a great story. I wonder if a little timber boat by the name of TRUMP is still in that very same harbor. It's the 1st boat I ever went to sea in. Thanks again for sharing some great memories.

Great video Shimano ❤️ I fish in Ulladulla quite a bit. Admittedly from the beach and jetty’s.
