Today out

[Chilli]

Were packing today, said half way through let's get out.
Went to a town we lived in several yrs ago, got the best fish n chips in central Victoria.
This was the local there greenhouse in the park where we had our meal. Well the best part of it.

Then went to a great reservoir about 20ks away for a fish. This is the of the best big trout fishing res in central Vic. I in the past caught here my biggest trouts ever. I was up there doing so when I lived there.

Hi. Yeah those were around 8 yrs back thereabouts. It used to be loaded with huge trout. Unfortunately yrs of persistent blue green algae outbreaks every summer that last for months each time has thinned the numbers out substantially. They still get caught now and then but the place is a shadow of what it used to be. Used to see huge rises and swirls everywhere, hits on lures that straightened out hooks and even saw once several big ones cause a bait ball of minnows and watched them smashing them with the minnows spraying out of the water each time. Don't see that anymore. Water quality has nose dived over the past 7 yrs.

😮 I just watched a show on AI searching images and using them. Freaked me out so removed my face in the ones with my ugly mug in them. 😆
Seriously though, its freaky stuff what is going on.

It’s a shame to hear the trout dying off.

Yes AI is some scary shit. If it doesn’t scare you it’s because you don’t understand what’s happening.

It is scary. On our news they had a story where some Aussie childrens pictures had been found on an AI site that could be used in deepfake porn. 😡
Its getting insane!
