PB Chinaman
Forecast was a bit iffy this morning but James and I pushed on with a plan to fish some new ground. I've been after a good chinaman cod for some time now so with this in mind we headed to some shoals off Onslow. After a 90 minute trip we arrived and then commenced dragging a few lures while exploring the shoal, picked up a few trevs and a couple of good queenies. Tide was really ripping so we decided to head off for a snorkel. Drilled a nice trout and bluebone and spooked a couple of BIG bluebone with the boat - buggar! Went back to the shoal and found a nice 8m deep hole. Dropping sweetened leadheads we had instant action on bluelines, spangles and a few other odds and sods. Right on the turn of the tide my leadhead got crunched by a good fish. After 10 minutes of argy bargy I finally had what I came for, 95cm and 12.5 kg of rampaging chinaman. Tide then turned and the switch flicked off. Unfortunately the runout tide was heading straight into the unforecast 18/23 knot westerly and our trip home took just under 3 hours, but don't worry I made the polling station at 5.45pm.

Tried embedding the pics according to Dreamweaver's instructions but I've had no joy.

When you copied it, it
When you copied it, it replace the space characters with '%20' which is basically a http symbol for a space.
edit: just tried it. its a problem with the [IMG] tags, not the copying. Try Tills suggestion perhaps?
Edit2: Sorted it out: what you want to do is click the little tree icon in the edit window, paste in the URL and click Insert. Worked for me with spaces and with '%20' symbols. When you get both pics showing in your original post, I'll remove the one below:

Yes, its often that, if you
Yes, its often that, if you used spaces, you need to indicate the clause is incomplete by using "" or something. You never run into the same problem if you have files with more machine-friendly names. If you have to put spaces in, use a _ instead. They still read ok, but they don't upset stuff so much.
Who cares about the lousy limitations of HTML? Thats a STONKER!

Chinaman fish is it's proper
Chinaman fish is it's proper name. To avoid confusion with the Chinaman Rockcod I think we should refer to it as such, especially since it's not a member of the cod family.

Yep
Jay's right, common misconception I found lots last year. Chinaman fish is what you've got, Chinaman Cod are charlie courts.
We got a monster week before last, called it for a shark because of its runs, serious power to them!

Good fight
Certainly one of the better fights I've had, even though it only wen't for about 10 minutes. So much power and muscle through its tail.
