Looking at purchasing a vac pac to store meat, fish (if the weather brightens enough to get some more) and pre-cooked meals.
Just wondering if many of you use them, pros & cons, and which brands to look at, or not.
Seems to be a huge range in the pricing structure amoungst all the brands.
Cheers

Anyone know if there are any sites to view Online nautical charts of Metro areas.  Did a search and found a few links but they no-longer work.

Good to see the boys up at quarter time. It's a pity the score board doesn't reflect west coasts domination in the first quarter.

Can anyone either pm me or tell me where i can have to light fun with swan river sambos?

All sambos will be released. I know its a yatch club but i have no idea which one

I was just pondering this thought...

" If there i so much fuss over kids toys being painted with pain with very small amounts of lead in the paint then how bad is handling pure lead sinkers every weekend?"

I dont know about any of youz but when i use split shots , i bite down to clamp them shut.

I wonder how bad this is if they are kicking ap a sh1t about paint on a toy

Either watch it or save it...
Awesome footage of cars and bikes.

Looking for some advice - just picked up one of these and I'm in two minds as to what I line I want to use. I want to fish standup 37kg class with it, but I'm undecided on mono with a wind on leader or braid with a wind on leader. The outfit will need to be versatile....live baiting/cubing for kingfish/yellowfin, trolling for wahoo/dogtooth and occasionally billfish......

Guys,

Just got back from the premiere of The Last Winter. Bloody good movie!!!

If you like a bit of Biff and bash or love rugby league it is a cracker. Some real funny aussie stuff in there too. Thoroughly recommended. It surprised the hell out of me. I thought it was going to be a poorly acted made for tv type drama, but way way better than that.

Do yourself a favour and check it out if you get a chance.

Matthew Johns was surprisingly good in it.

Hey Fellow fisherman some of you know of us or atleast (fishoutofwater) we film fishing vision. We had our big break this year although out of our general confort zone channel nine show discover downunder hired us to be the second crew to film a camping and caravan show. We had alot of our vision make it to t.v which we were very pleased with. Now we are about to undertake our next adventure with this production company(evergreen television). Our next trip is from exmouth to broome will be in exmouth around the 8th sept finishing in broome on the 23rd. Hope to be able to get some good fishing in any spare time we have and on the way back hoping to catch up with jay B for some filming in karatha if he can get the time off. To say im excited is an uderstatement having met Ian (fishoutofwater) online never excpected this. Has been a busy few years but its starting to pay off now.

found this on a site found it funny hope others do also

Not a joke as such, but one of the funniest things Ive read for a long time.... (pinched off a thread at biotorrents.)

electric-escape.net wrote: Shut Up I Hack You

In case you don't speak German (just as this hacker), I've tried a little translation to English. I might have made some spelling errors, but the original spelling wasn't perfect either. The guy really said "buy buy" in the German version.

For information:

* The dangerous hacker is called bitchchecker and the one being hacked and original author of the comments, who is talking here, is known as Elch.
* 127.0.0.1 is always the IP address of the computer you're currently using; any request there will return to your computer.
* Notice that in Germany we get Daylight Savings Time (DST) earlier than in the US.

The story starts (I'm shortcutting here) with a kid insulting everyone on the #stopHipHop IRC channel. Most people there believed it was rather funny, but it got even more funny...

<bitchchecker> why do you kick me
<bitchchecker> can't you discus normally
<bitchchecker> answer!
<Elch> we didn't kick you
<Elch> you had a ping timeout: * bitchchecker (~java@euirc-a97f9137.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Ping timeout#)
<bitchchecker> what ping man
<bitchchecker> the timing of my pc is right
<bitchchecker> i even have dst
<bitchchecker> you banned me
<bitchchecker> amit it you son of a bitch
<HopperHunter|afk> LOL
<HopperHunter|afk> shit you're stupid, DST^^
<bitchchecker> shut your mouth WE HAVE DST!
<bitchchecker> for two weaks already
<bitchchecker> when you start your pc there is a message from windows that DST is applied.
<Elch> You're a real computer expert
<bitchchecker> shut up i hack you
<Elch> ok, i'm quiet, hope you don't show us how good a hacker you are ^^
<bitchchecker> tell me your network number man then you're dead
<Elch> Eh, it's 129.0.0.1
<Elch> or maybe 127.0.0.1
<Elch> yes exactly that's it: 127.0.0.1 I'm waiting for you great attack
<bitchchecker> in five minutes your hard drive is deleted
<Elch> Now I'm frightened
<bitchchecker> shut up you'll be gone
<bitchchecker> i have a program where i enter your ip and you're dead
<bitchchecker> say goodbye
<Elch> to whom?
<bitchchecker> to you man
<bitchchecker> buy buy
<Elch> I'm shivering thinking about such great Hack0rs like you
* bitchchecker (~java@euirc-61a2169c.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Ping timeout#)

What happened is clear: That guy entered his own IP address in his mighty Hack-Tool and crashed his own PC. This way, the attack on my PC was a failure.

I was already starting to think that I did not have to worry, but a good hacker never calls it a day. Two minutes later he returned.

* bitchchecker (~java@euirc-b5cd558e.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #stopHipHop
<bitchchecker> dude be happy my pc crashed otherwise you'd be gone
<Metanot> lol
<Elch> bitchchecker: Then try hacking me again... I still have the same IP: 127.0.0.1
<bitchchecker> you're so stupid man
<bitchchecker> say buy buy
<Metanot> ah, [Please control your cussing] off
<bitchchecker> buy buy elch
* bitchchecker (~java@euirc-b5cd558e.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Ping timeout#)

There was a tension in the room... Would he manage, after these two failures, to crash my PC? I waited. Nothing happened. I felt relieve...

Six minutes passed by until he prepared the next wave of attack. Being a Hacker, who usually cracks whole data centers, he knew what his problem was now.

* bitchchecker (~java@euirc-9ff3c180.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #stopHipHop
<bitchchecker> elch you son of a bitch
<Metanot> bitchchecker how old are you?
<Elch> What's up bitchchecker?

<bitchchecker> fire wall
<Elch> maybe, i don't know
<bitchchecker> i'm 26
<Metanot> such behaviour with 26?
<Elch> how did you find out that I have a firewall?
<Metanot> tststs this is not very nice missy
<bitchchecker> because your gay fire wall directed my turn off signal back to me
<bitchchecker> be a man turn that shit off
<Elch> cool, didn't know this was possible.
<bitchchecker> thn my virus destroys your pc man
<Metanot> are you hacking yourselves?
<Elch> yes bitchchecker is trying to hack me
<Metanot> he bitchchecker if you're a hacker you have to get around a firewall even i can do that
<bitchchecker> yes man i hack the elch but the sucker has a fire wall the

<bitchchecker> like a girl
<Metanot> firewall is normal a normal hacker has to be able to get past it...you girl^^
<He> Bitch give yourself a jackson and chill you're letting them provoce you and give those little girls new material all the time
<bitchchecker> turn the firewall off then i send you a virus [Please control your cussing]er
<Elch> Noo
<Metanot> he bitchchecker why turn it off, you should turn it off
<bitchchecker> you're afraid
<bitchchecker> i don't wanna hack like this if he hides like a girl behind a fire wall
<bitchchecker> elch turn off your shit wall!
<Metanot> i wanted to say something about this, do you know the definition of hacking??? if he turns of the firewall that's an invitation and that has nothing to do with hacking
<bitchchecker> shut up
<Metanot> lol
<bitchchecker> my grandma surfs with fire wall
<bitchchecker> and you suckers think you're cool and don't dare going into the internet without a fire wall

He calls me girly and says only his grandma would use a firewall. I know that elder people are much more intelligent then younger, but I couldn't let that rest. To see whether he really is a good hacker I lie and let everything as it is. I don't have a firewall at all, only my router.

<Elch> bitchchecker, a collegue showed me how to turn the firewall off. Now you can try again
<Metanot> bitchhacker can't hack
<Black<TdV>> nice play on words ^^
<bitchchecker> wort man
<Elch> bitchchecker: I'm still waiting for your attack!
<Metanot> how many times again he is no hacker
<bitchchecker> man do you want a virus
<bitchchecker> tell me your ip and it deletes your hard drive
<Metanot> lol ne give it up i'm a hacker myself and i know how hackers behave and i can tell you 100.00% you're no hacker..^^
<Elch> 127.0.0.1
<Elch> it's easy
<bitchchecker> lolololol you so stupid man you'll be gone
<bitchchecker> and are the first files being deleted
<Elch> mom...
<Elch> i'll take a look

In panic I started the Windows Explorer, my heart beating faster. Had I under-estimated him?

<bitchchecker> don't need to rescue you can't son of a bitch
<Elch> that's bad
<bitchchecker> elch you idiout your hard drive g: is deleted
<Elch> yes, there's nothing i can do about it
<bitchchecker> and in 20 seconds f: is gone

Yes, true, G: and F: were gone. Did I ever have them? Doesn't matter, I did not have time to think, I was scared. bitchchecker was comforting me with a music tip.

<bitchchecker> tupac rules
<bitchchecker> elch you son of a bitch your f: is gone and e: too

Drive E Oh my god... All the games are there! And the vacation pictures! I instantly take a look. Everything still there. But the hacker said it was deleted....

Or isn't it happening on my computer?

<bitchchecker> and d: is at 45% you idiot lolololol
<He> why doesn't meta say anything
<Elch> he's probably rolling on the floor laughing
<Black<TdV>> ^^
<bitchchecker> your d: is gone
<He> go on BITCH

The guy is good: My CD-drive is allegedly deleted! Bitchchecker turned my ancient disk sucker into a burner! But how did he do this? I'll have to ask him. Some encourage him. He himself is giving advice how to avoid the disaster on my hard drives.

<bitchchecker> elch man you're so stupid never give your ip on the internet
<bitchchecker> i'm already at c: 30 percent

Should I tell him he's not attacking my computer?

* bitchchecker (~java@euirc-9ff3c180.dip.t-dialin.net) Quit (Ping timeout#)

Too late... It's 20:22 when we get the last message of our hacker with the alias "bitchchecker". We see that he has a "Ping timeout".

We haven't seen him since then... must be the Daylight Saving Time.

The way this guy calmly got that idiot to destroy his own c: drive is fuckin priceless in my opinion...

Hi Ya,

Was paddling around on the forum this morning about 8:30amish.  Attempted to post a post and my screen showed this up. What does that mean?

Four Married guys go fishing.

After an hour, the following conversation took place:

First guy: "You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out
fishing this weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint
every room in the house next weekend."

Second guy: "That's nothing; I had to promise my wife that I will
build her a new deck for the pool."

Third guy: "Man, you both have it easy ! I had to promise my wife
that I will remodel the kitchen for her."

They continue to fish when they realised that the fourth guy has not
said a word.

So they asked him. "You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend. What's the deal ?"

Fourth guy: "I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I
shut off my alarm gave the wife a nudge and said, "Fishing or sex,"
and she said, "Wear sun-block."

Just thought id put a big "HAPPY FATHERS DAY" out to all the fishwrecked dads out there on sunday, may all your jocks and socks (hopefully fishing gear!) fill your draws!lol. People like shag should do alright! hehehehe

Freshwater fishers await trout season opening

Freshwater anglers are expected to be out in force in the State’s South West from next Saturday,
when the annual trout season opens.

The 2007/08 trout season begins on 1 September and will continue until 30 April 2008.
Department of Fisheries Principal Management Officer, Nathan Harrison said more than 3,900
people had specific freshwater angling licences and a further 16,400 fishers had umbrella
licences that also entitled them to fish for trout and other freshwater species.
“The big interest in freshwater fishing needs to be managed well, so the Department runs an
important restocking program to ensure we don’t lose the opportunity for recreational anglers to
enjoy the experience,” Mr Harrison said.

“Every year, new stocks of brown and rainbow trout are released into South West rivers and
dams, but only into those waterways that have a long history of being stocked.”
“Department of Fisheries research, which backs up the stocking program, helps to keep the
freshwater fishery sustainable and is attracting international interest for breeding trout that have
not only been able to survive, but also thrive in warmer water temperatures.”
Mr Harrison said various rules applied to freshwater fishing and there were also some fishing
laws specific to popular locations that were needed to help provide a better quality recreational
fishing experience for everybody.

“By observing the rules freshwater anglers can play a part in caring for the environment, sharing
the fish stocks and applying common sense to any activities in the forests around our picturesque
dams and waterways,” he said.

A recreational fishing licence is required to fish for all freshwater fish in waters south of
Greenough (29 o South latitude) and above the tidal influence including all lakes, dams, rivers
and their tributaries.

Licences are available over the counter from the Department of Fisheries and Australia Post
outlets or online at www.fish.wa.gov.au. Children under 16 do not require a licence for
freshwater species other than marron.

More details on freshwater angling in WA’s South West and the rules that apply are also
available on the Department of Fisheries website.

More State Government funding for boating facilities.

More than $1.15million has been allocated to improve recreational boating facilities throughout Western Australia.

Planning and Infrastructure Minister Alannah MacTiernan said the latest round of Recreational Boating Facilities Scheme (RBFS) grants would support 18 projects, including:

• $220,000 to upgrade the increasingly busy Palm Beach (east) boat launching facility at Rockingham;
• $175,000 to upgrade the boat launching facility at John’s Creek Boat Harbour near Karratha;
• $75,000 for boat trailer parking at Lily Creek in the Kimberley; and
• $40,000 for an environmental assessment of a proposed boat ramp at Duke of Orleans Bay near Esperance.

“With more than 85,000 registered recreational vessels in WA and registrations growing at around four per cent each year, the demand for new and improved boating infrastructure and improvements keeps increasing,” Ms MacTiernan said.

“Total funding available under the scheme has significantly increased over each of the past three years from $850,000 in 2005 to more than $1.15million this year.”

Ms MacTiernan said local governments and other agencies or organisations providing recreational boating facilities could apply for funds up to a maximum of $300,000 on a dollar for dollar basis.

The scheme, which was administered by the Department for Planning and Infrastructure was funded from boat registration fees.

“Reinvesting boat owners’ registration fees in these partnerships is an excellent way to ensure continued improvements are made to the facilities they use,” Ms MacTiernan said.

“The funding is always keenly sought and this year we received 26 applications.

“Since 2001, the scheme has provided $5.25million to 127 projects throughout the State.”

A committee, including representatives of the Department for Planning and Infrastructure, the WA Local Government Association, the WA Tourism Commission, Recfishwest and Jet Sport West Boating Association, Swan River Trust and FESA, assesses applications and recommends funding allocations to the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure.

Would there happen to be a plumber on fishwrecked who works the North of River area.
Just a small job....Honestly.

For those of you close enough, $1.11 per litre unleaded regular at Gull Gwelup on North Beach Road (between Erindale & Karrinyup). Easy jump off Freeway.
Still way cheaper than with a docket at the others.

Happy birthday for yesterday old boy! Hope your day was pleasent. Cheers Chris.

In case anyone local is interested Alfred, SPESS, Sherbert and myself are catching up with Shamu tonight before he heads back to Singapore for good. We will be at "the Boat" in Mindarie for a few ales after 8-00pm. (Emphasis on the "few" as I have to work tomorrow)

Righto I am having a winge as I finally got my electrcial contractors licence so things were looking up.Drive around with the wife in the New Adventura add a bit of rain, a complete moron who decided that he could follow us really close, the truck in front of us braked suddenly......


WE STOPPED BUT OUR FRIENDLY TAILRIDER DIDN'T.............. now I am not a happy camper.



Went to the repairer of our insurance company and the verdict is 3-4 weeks to repair (hopefully if the chassis isn't bent), the bloke who hit us was driving his bosses car that DOESN'T HAVE INSURANCE....

This is for all the younger generation or for that matter anyone who is driving a bunky please at least get 3rd party private insurance so at least the person who you hit will be not inconvenienced too much.For around $120 you can get a years worth of insurance and not be faced with having to pay a huge bill to repair the damage you cause.

The main thing was normally we have out baby boy in the car with us but htis time he was being babysat at Nans house (thank god!).I would of hated to think how I would of reacted if he had been in the car (was angry enough without that,anyone who has met me can vouch for the fact that in size I do measure up well to my nickname (OX))

The Adventura needs to be completely stripped inside the back a some type of machine used to see if they can pull the ass end out straight again along with other repairs.......not happy jan!!!!


Please people take car in the wet and show some courtesy while on the road.Drive to conditions and to the type of vehicle you are driving.Must go back to crying now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Cheers OX


My Adventura

My Adventura 2

I am heading out too Jay

Leaving from dampier sparrows fart, will probably be one million other people at the ramp with the same idea.  Hope to get amongst some trout on the light stuff.

Hi guys i went down to deep water point for a flick around and landed some average flaties. Let them go then i thought stuff it i havent kept one for years so i did! Got it home and stuffed if i could remember how to fillet it properly. Ended up waisting heaps so i cooked the carcus up as well as there was heaps of flesh still on it, dont like waistage! Could anyone tell me the easiest way to fillet them or are they better off kept hole? Still tasted bluddy good though but if i was to keep another i would like to know how to do it right! Cheers Chris.

hi there, was wondering if anyone knows of any boat storage around the ballajura area, thats reasonable priced/access etc, or if there is someone with some extra spare room at home or factory etc that we might be able to have some deal with, ie fishing trips, etc, 5.5 meter boat, uncovered or covered not fussed.

pm me or reply with any possibilites thanks

   Hi all it has been on my mind for a whill and would put it to the fishing people of the web, had a crew that come on my boat and not pay fuel or bait which anoyd me bit {ok alought },i my self didnt catch to many that day and he wanted all the fish he had caught ,i gave them under drues ,should i have split them up between  us all or have done what i did ..........




 
PS; the new rules i have on my boat are fuel and bait are split between who is on the boat and what is caught getts split up even ly  or if there is a fish u want we work it that way ,even if you dont catch a fish ....  are they the same rules everone uses or are the different for all boats
