Re-Pete Fish Ruler
Re-pete Fish Ruler The Story - Two mates (Peter Thomas and Peter Salamone) wanted to find a Faster and more Accurate way of measuring fish. A sticker on the side of the boat or an Esky lid, led to inaccurate measuring and fish being out of the water too long. Features of the “Re-Pete Fish Ruler” are quite amazing: Virtually unbreakable (under normal use) Shatterproof UV stabilized 10 years + Low heat conduction (cool working surface) Lightweight Using the Ruler 1. Before handling the fish, please wet your hands and the Fish Ruler. 2. Carefully lift the fish (supporting its body) onto the ruler and position its nose so as to be touching the vertical aspect of the ruler. 3. Gently keep the fish in position whilst measuring at the tip of its tail. Notes Those fish not being kept should be released quickly and carefully. Fish can be measured in the water using the Re-Pete Fish Ruler also. 
*** We were approached by Peter Thomas (Fishwrecked member Piston Broke) to see if we wanted to stock the product. Certainly a good idea with accurate measurement and you can upgrade the sticker when any changes are made so buy once and have it for years. Similar style of board to what tagging guys use and one that we'll support. They sell for around $19.95 (less FW discount) ***

Old fart made his like that out
of aluminium, exactly like you have in the photo , then just sticks it on the big esky in the boat and measures the fish if he thinks they are under size or just size, doesn't shrink if under size straight back in the water (not dhuie's of course, have to be released by weight) or warp

Yes Roberta
we used ali initially and it worked well. But selling commercially the ali was an injury risk and also conducts heat. The material we have used is virtually unbreakable (under normal use), shatterproof also. We developed the product in close consultation with the Fisheries department, which was demanding but satisfying. cheers Pete

poly carb
Another key point Peter, these poly carbonate rulers wont mark or damage F/G boats (ali version can) especially when sitting in the side pockets etc
