for those interested in sambo's (not me) just thought you'd like too know i was diving on the wrecks at rockingham beach yesterday and in and around one of the planes there was a huge school of juvenile sambos about 50cm they wont stay long though i dont supose but you cant fish there anyway but at least theres plenty around for the future

Have to say I am abit pissed.  Noticed this arvo that some joker decided to go around the estate I stay in and write all over the place with ketchup, including all over my boat and trailer!  When keptchup dries on hot fiberglass in direct sunlight it is a pain to scrub off too.............!   Grrrrrrr!  Guess it's better then spray paint, but I just wish that some folks will have more respect for others.

Took so much effort to get the boat off the street as well, have cut a proper parking bay in the garden to park it but looks like thats not good enough.

Hi Ya,

Was looking at YouTube, as many, many millions do, and managed to find this. It is the most astounding footage I have ever seen. I cannot believe the amount of effort and work, and probably a hell of a lot of disappointment, that has gone into it.

Won't say what it is. Just check it out. I'm blown away.

Cheers.

What do people think about this braid?  know a couple of people who swear by it.

Hi All

Can someone please tell me when did the ban end for crabs in the sound?
and has it been extended? and till when?
Is it all kinds of fishing thats banned ie nets, snorkeling, scoops?
Thanks

Saw this on the ACCC Website. Navman Australia has been fined $1.25m for breaches of the Trade Practices Act.

http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/806701/fromItemId/142

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission had alleged that Navman and its employees had engaged in resale price maintenance by trying to stop retailers selling below their benchmark price.

Just wondering what everyone has been bitten/stung by?

My list to date:

1) Bitten by king brown snake.
2) Bitten by horse.
3) Stung by bumble bees (England)
4) Stung by teranchula wasp.
5) Bitten by wobigong.
6) Stung by stingray.
7) Bitten by grasshoppers.
8) Bitten by blowies.


Oh! and

9) Stung by two ex wives  

My mate and I were offshore fishing yesterday off Bunbury when we noticed orange smoke from a Distress flare coming from a nearby boat. As we headed over to help we saw another boat heading over to assist, I looked out on the horizon and saw 3 more boats coming to lend a hand. My 27meg radio was on channel 88 but did'nt hear any chit chat regarding the incident until sometime afterwards when the towing boat made contact with the strickened boat and asked him to go to another channel. Apparently the boat in distress lost all his electrics so he could'nt start the motor, the main point here is the way the other boats stopped everything and came to help the boat in distress the smoke flares must be visual for a great distance because we could'nt see the boats on the horizon untill well after we saw the smoke and the windy conditions dispersed the smoke within 10 minutes. It's good to know other people on the water are looking out for the safety of others, the people in the broken down boat were towed safely back to the boat ramp.

Hello fellow fishos

Hope you all had a great chrissy.

I was reading an article this morning about a stretch of beach between
Dongara and Geraldton called the S bend.
Apparently its great for big tailor, mulloway and even dhuies.
It was saying that there is a caravan park there.
Anybody been fishing there or heard any stories? and what have ya caught?

guys

Hi All

Caught up with a mate on monday and he caught a couple of mulloway
of a beach in secret harbour last week. They were both around 60 to 70 cm.
He kept one and released the other.
He wasnt there very long, got the first one on this second cast, using mulies.
Saw the pics, nice fish.

Thanks

G'day fellow fishwrecked fishing friends

Sorry no deckie spaces available
     

Looking for tips/suggestions from people who have fished Greenhead and surrounds.

I normally fish the shallows north of the island or make the trip out to behind Apex Reef.

Just interested in other peoples ideas.....cheer

Merry Christmas

Here to many hook ups in the new year.

Play safe.

Hello fellow fishers,
Today i treated myself to a early xmas present.
I bought a shimano Tekota 700 overhead reel.
Has anyone else got one? Whats your thoughts on the reel?
Thanks

A bit out of left field, but then again they were released over consecutive Boxing days....

I just finished watching the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy again, best trilogy of movies I've ever seen (with the original Star Wars a very close second).

Looks like meats back on the menu boys!

So when is it happening guys. or is it undecided.

One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed.

Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don't feel like
it, I just want you to hold me."

I said, "WHAT??!! What was that?!"

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear...

"You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."

She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, "Lets get a pair for each outfit."

We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.

I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier."

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, "WHAT?"

I then said, "Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman."

And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least that bitch knows I'm smarter than her.

hey not fishing related but im to angry to care. was just at riverton forum and trying to get out of the carpark. the car infront of me decided they would reverse backwards HARD. next thing you know ive got a nice hole in my bumber from a towball, and lady is trying to tell me it was my fault because i didnt see her reverse lights and shouldove moved, next thing i know she floors it and drives off leaving me there cursing. the car was a silver navara/hilux looking thing with p plates and a little blonde girl prolly about 20 driving. if any one sees the car or hears anythign about this please take down there license plates and pm me them as she floored it before i could get my pen. you know wat the funny thing is THERES NOTHING I CAN DO not happy

1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit.
In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately.  Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.

2. Drink as much eggnog as you can.  And quickly.  Like fine single-malt scotch, it's rare.  In fact, it's even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can't find it any other time of year but now.  So drink up!  Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip?  It's not  as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something.  It's a treat.  Enjoy it.  Have one for me. Have two.  It's later than you think.  It's Christmas!

3. If something comes with gravy, use it.  That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on.  Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes.  Fill it with gravy.  Eat the volcano.  Repeat.

4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk.  If it's skim, pass.  
Why bother?  It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.

5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it.  Hello?

6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do.  This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound  plate of food and that vat of eggnog.

7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge.  Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention.  They're like a beautiful pair of shoes.  If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.

8. Same for pies.  Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat.  Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin.  Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert?  Labor Day?

9. Did someone mention fruitcake?  Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories,
but avoid it at all cost.  I mean, have some standards.

10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention.  Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.
Remember this motto to live by:

'Life should NOT be a journey to the  grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, coffee in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO what a ride!'

thought i would throw this idea out to the fishwrecked members.

We all know that it can be hard to get jobs done around the house or in general these days from tradesman, book keepers or any profession nowdays. Mainly due to the strong W.A economy and everyone being so flat out at work. So I though it might be a good idea if members of the forum listed what they do for work and ways they could help other members out through their company? basically members scratching the back of other members?

I myself work for a Truck Rental company and if anyone needs to hire anything from a 1 tonne ute to an 8 tonne truck then send me a pm and provided we have something available and are not booked out then I could organise a good discount. 

just an idea but I am sure it would help a lot of people out as well as maybe building a few more fishing friendships.

Does this mean easyier access to fishing off the Islands?

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,22935452-2761,00.html

I have never been there but would love to fish off the islands as i get sea sick sittin out in a boat lol

"A STRIPPER performed for a classroom full of British teenagers, spanked a birthday boy and asked him to rub cream all over her after a booking error by the teen's mother."


All my mum got me was a cake :(

Hi fisher folk
Has anybody noticed on seabreeze when you reverse the arrow colours green for light winds and red for stong you get a completely different wind speed and direction reading 
I have sent an email to ask why but just wondered if anybody else had noticed this
 

Hi Ya,

... to purchase that nice flashy stuff you find on metal (particularly Halco Twisty) lures and if possible, from where? And is it possible to buy luminious paint?

Thought I'd buy some heavy flat bar and try making my own jigs. I mean, if you guys (well, some of you anyway) can catch sambos on shifters and ring spanners, then why not on flashy steel bar?

Had actually considered getting the steel chrome plated, but then realised that the cost would be equal to or higher than buying quality jigs so gave that up.
