Who said fishing was a waste of time?

Have you seen that Lismore Police have been inundated with claims to a fortune found by four teenagers fishing in a northern New South Wales creek?

Police are looking for the owner of $100,000 in cash found wrapped in brown plastic three weeks ago.

The teenagers found the parcel while fishing, but waited to hand it in to police until they’d discussed their find with their families and sought legal advice. Police say that the boys can make a claim for the money if no one comes forward with a legitimate claim after six weeks.

“We’re still looking for the owner of the money,” Inspector Nicole Bruce said.

“We’ve had no legitimate claims so far, but a lot of illegitimate ones.” Police on Friday concluded a thorough search of the idyllic fishing spot on the banks of Turntable Creek, which was inundated by flood waters in May.

“The cash did appear weathered, and given the floods we’ve had, it could have come from anywhere,” Insp Bruce said. – SBS News

So it seems every man and his dog is trying to hook the money. I’m sure that most of them realise that they won’t net the cash. They’re just fishing.

Fishing Tasmania’s Mercury newspaper is reporting a rather fishy story.

In the article, Lost jewellery found in fish, we’re told that a 25 year old woman named Kristy was kneeboarding behind a boat south of Hobart when she was tossed from her board in rough conditions.

In the fall she lost a nose stud from a piercing she had done only a week before Christmas.

Her fiancé was fishing with a friend three days later in the same area and caught a decent haul of fish. When he was filleting a flathead he noticed something shiny.

Kristy was watching on and recognised it as her lost nose stud. The flathead must have swallowed the stud a few days earlier.

You’d be pretty pleased to find something that small after losing it in something as large as the ocean. Which makes me wonder why it’s so hard to find much larger items like lost keys when you misplace them somewhere in your house.

Just for the record, Pauline found my keys for me today after I left for work. Nothing quite as exciting as inside a fish but I’m glad that they’re safe.
