If you launch at Cockburn and fish at Rotto (say) when the ban is in for Cockburn but the demersal ban hasn't started and you catch a couple of pinkies can you bring them back through the sound to retrieve at Cockburn ? if you can, how do fisheries know that the fish was not caught in Cockburn ?

a few year back the swan was restocked with prawn frie would it be worth a old time drag net session, come those hot summer evenings , and if you get a few cobbler as a by catch do they still have to be released

half of the ramp will be closed for six weeks while the ramp is repaired 3 weeks 1 side another the 3 the other side the light at the end of the ramp has only been out for 2 years wonder if they will fix that too

anyone insisted on hooking up the boat when test driving a new fourby ?

im finding dealers not willing ( perhaps insurance ) , then again perhaps business is booming....and they are too lazy

 At the islands for the weekend with 4 of the kids
These 2 girls look like butter wouldnt melt...

Young Mac nodded off early and...

We all had a good laugh, until I spotted my reflection

Not happy Jan 
Incidentally, the sharks are shocking even in the shallows this time.
Came back today, but the forecast 16-18 knots became 30 plus as we were about to leave at 9.
Spoke to a mate who has a crayboat and was heading back but it was the kids who couldnt be bothered waiting, "lets just go Dad, we've had worse before"
and most of the squalls had passed
So hammer down, a bit of surfing in the big swell and home 10 minutes later than we would have taken.

 Can anyone point me in the direction of the bearing sizes for a Daiwa Saltist 40HA?

 Wow out at the islands and listened to the end of the NRL GF, that had all and more of the drama that a grand final needs!!

even if you dont follow it, check it out.

Equalised  at full time, missed the kick to win then won in overtime by a team that has never had a flag and legend created

 This will put a bad taste in people's mouth who paid extraordinary amounts to get to Melbourne for the grandy with Virgin putting on flights today and tomorrow from $385 each way. Don't have to be dead to be stiff.

Its down to the two best teams of the year, the mighty fighting Hawks and the high flying Eagles...the battle of the birds. Hawks are going for a shot at immortality, the Eagles for their first flag in nearly a decade.

Just a bit of light hearted nonsense to get the ball rolling...

The North Melbourne Curse. You've heard of the Kennett curse but there is a little known curse going back a number of years involving North Melbourne and Prelims (in the current form). The side who has beaten the Kangas in the Prelims has gone on to get smashed in the GF. Also all the Eagles premierships have come in even years....That does it for me 

Any opinions on the all steel collapsible cray pot ?

Looks like a good option where you need the space on the deck ?

 Just wondering how everyone is travelling business and work wise at the moment after the start of the year when it all went to shit. We have actually picked up immmensely and are flat out, I'm actually considering taking on an apprentice, maybe someone a little older. Have picked up two new clients and one has the contract for all the Coles maintenence around town. The oil and gas side of things is still just a trickle but the completeions side of things are busy so that's keeping us busy on that side of things. So how are the rest of you fairing?

After getting in a bit late on Wednesday night and not looking forward to cleaning the fish, we left them in the shed in the MadFish cooler bag with 2 bags of ice.

24 hours later, most of the ice still there, fish perfect for filleting.

Great product.

 Just had this popup on my tablet, I dont trust it, but it could be legit. Does anyone know for sure? I had a little giggle when it popped up.

 Planning for a beach fish anywhere north of Burns beach. have not been for a while so any reports of what's being caught would be appreciated. Looking to target tailor and Mullas in the evening. have 4WD so all options available.

Got them in an email not long back, these ones are the best of them

Adam Goodes I really wish he hadn't started diving in the last 2 years of his stellar career , personaly I think he was right in pointing out he was racially vilified by a girl . However it wasn't that led to the booing it was his diving for free kicks that caused it .
Adam would not have coped if he played 25 years ago , I heard jimmy and phil krackour copping far worse than adam ever got and yet they coped not saying it was right but they managed , Maurice Rioli was never booed by opposition supporters the actually politely clapped his efforts , why because he never took a dive

Hey guys,

 Can some one please help me out. I wanting to make a storage compartment for the back of my 4WD. Fairly simple design. Top will be 1080mm (D)x 1380mm (W) O/A made in 2 havles for easy removal, locked down with recessed latches. Base will be 950mm (D) x 1010mm (W) with a centre partion. Frame 20 x 20 tube, top sheeted with 5mm and base sheeted with 3mm. I have full drawings and dimensions of components. I'm more than capable of fabricating this with a bit of assistance obtaining the material and with welding as i do not have access to a aluminium welder. All expenses will be paid for. I'll be back in Perth 6th October would be great if could sort something out between now and than. Cheers Wes.

hey guys

as as the title says, my jabsco hotshot 6.0 has been playing up lately. It will run for couple of minutes and then cut out, I'll let it rest for a few minutes and then it will start again. Is there an internal overload on these motor/pumps?

Anyone had had a similar issue? I've tested the pressure switch and it tested fine.

Cheers justin  

With daylight to Goldy in 2nd place.

 Hey everyone has anyone else heard of this mob just got a air,fuel and oil filter from them for $40 delivered for my d40 Navara

 Hi all

Chasing the info of someone north of the river to do a small brick paving job in beechboro. Got about 6-7 sq metres I need paved. Have the bricks ready to go, really just need the labour and expertise to complete the works.

also whilst I am asking the question on tradesman and bricks. Anyone know of q brickie who is good at building wood fired pizza ovens? In the process of organising the bricks, thermal blanket, render ect. Again just chasing some contact info if anyone has had one built on their behalf before? Planning on laying the concrete slab myself as well as the brick base, the pizza oven is to go side by side with a wood / coal BBQ outside in the backyard.

any recommendations on the above would be appreciated

cheers
