hi everyone just to know who it the best to go to,to get your skippers ticket from

Unbelievable experience this morning.  Went out early on first light as the weather was good.  Set up on 3 Mile using the Minn Kota Spot Lock and got the home made burley out.  Had all the lights going (side and anchor) as the rules say you must when the sun is not up – although it was starting to get light and you could clearly see for a few kilometres.  Saw this charter boat coming at us and bearing down.  Watched him for a while and there was no course change as he got closer.  Got out the 400,000 candle power spot light and flashed and flashed and flashed but still no change.  When he was less than 100m away there was no other option but to start up and get the f&%k out of there.  Good thing I had the Minn and not an anchor as there were not many seconds in it – although the poor Minn had to be subject to 0 to 15kn in an instant.  No doubt the patrons (it was packed) got a shock as this barrage of expletives fired their way as the adrenaline fired up the voice box.  To make matters worse the Pinks were on and he went straight over the top of my spot.

I have no idea who he was but I would say a course in remedial navigation is certainly on the cards.  Lesson 1 – watch where the f%*k you are going.  I could understand it if we were doing something wrong but this wasn’t the case.  My only thought was he had Ocean Ramsay on the boat and was going out to find some sharks, hence was a little distracted.

I didn’t get the name of the boat other than it starts with an M and leaves from Hillarys Marina.  I don’t know if anyone else has had a similar experience with this guy but I would probably like to tell him myself how close he came to killing me and my boy, and destroying my boat, because he just wasn’t watching where he was going.

 I agreed to a trade "my combo for his" and we had to arrange and pay for freight. I sent mine but I've been contacted by other member who tells me that he received a call from his courier saying that package was delivered to my home but as no one was available to collect they were sending it back to him. He wants me to now pay freight to have it sent back to me.

I am in Bali at present and sender knows this.

The reason I am sceptical is because discussions started on the 21 March. I have asked on a number of occasions to confirm package was sent, company details and tracking number. I was told package was sent but no company or tracking details sent.

if package was sent in a timely manner it would have arrived prior to me leaving for Bali. When I was informed that package was not sent in time to get to me before I left I pm'ed and emailed user a number of occasions asking for company details and tracking number so that I could make arraignments for someone else to collect or to hold package for me until I return. I even asked sender on a few occasions to contact company to make them aware I was away and cannot collect until I return.

I very much doubt that a company would return package to sender after one attempt to deliver. They normally leave a slip in the mail box asking receiver to arrange collection.

Thoughts, am I being shafted. 

some bodys hot and some bodys not,bash the shit out of each other

bloody fisherys , do you think i can get an answer out of them about simon peterffry no i cant , i have been hand balled to about 6 different people trying to find out if he has been charged for pulling that shark drum line , my gut feeling is they are going to let him go mean while my mate with the 2mm under size black arse cops a 250 dollar fine (alan swears it was size when he caught it but had shrunk while it was in the ice slurry)

all the coments about my last post on swan river cobbler , got me thinking , who remembers those hot summer evenings on the swan with the gas lanterns roaring and your dad making you walk the deep end of the prawn drag net with the water up to your chin

Sorry ledge, not trying to pinch you post but trying to direct a few to Tim-O crackup comments.

Go to Ocean Ramsay- Grrrrr

There has been a few asking about it lately so here is a update.

The old servo outside the People Park shop is now shut, but the good news is that the new one is now open. At the end on Banksia road, where you turn off to go to the boat ramp. There is what they are calling the temp fule supply, but the odds are it will be the permanent fule supply. Ther are two bowsers, both with diesel and 95 U/L. It is unmaned card type. You can only buy fuel with credit cards or caltex star cards. So if you are planing a trip up this way make sure you have a card that will work. The good news is that it is the cheapest I have seen fuel in town for a long time. 169.3 for diesel and 184.3 for U/L, but not sure if it will stay that way for long. It may of just been the prices the bowsers happen to be set to when they where installed. There is no dedicated bowser for commercial use now, but one of the diesel pumps are high flow, so at least I will only hold everyone up for half and hour insted of two hours when filling up the 1500L tank for the boat.

Ive got one of the above last service they removed the balance shaft it was noisy they told me it would make no difference ive now been told u cant rev engine past 4000rpm or 1200 plus labour for a new upgraded one anyone else had tbis problem how did u deal with it tia

guys I'm about to but a shimano saragosa 10000 and after suggestions as to what rod to match it. mainly for bottom bouncing and trolling?? currently looking at a 14kg daiwa oceanwave?? around 200 - 250 dollars.

don't know the what the story is with this dingy I saw tied up at the point peron ramp upside down this arvo hope no one got hurt , still had the outboard attached

Rather than hijack Bodies thread, I thought I would ask the question in a new one.

Are you able to legally upgrade your standard vehicle lights to HID ? I have been reading a fair bit about this and cant really find a definitive answer. I can get an upgrade for my 100 Series to 35w 4300k HID globes for well under $300. All plug and play with the standard wiring. Doubles the light output to headlights that are already quite good but could do with just a bit extra.

Appreciate any advice as want to see the wildlife better but not attract Mr Plods attention.

cheers

I guess you do have to expect this when you are looking for highlights from the Melbourne V West Coast game this week.

G'day ladies and gents, Last night some mongrel stole the Poppy, from Warnbro. Took boat and trailer. It was not currently insured. They took the fuel container about a month ago. It has been reported but if anybody sees her it would be appreciated if they could please send a message. Husband is obviously pretty upset as this was his link to the best bloke in the world who raised him.

personally think chappy will be the recruit of the year , why the cats let him go who knows , personaly think colin sivila (I see him as another jack Anthony) will turn out to be the worst recruit

Congrats on the 200 game milestone Maxy. Vintage performance tonight by the Pies All Australian, Premiership Ex Captain.

Time to start dancing on another teams grave boys.

Dizzy, give us a meme.

a post today got me thinking about the stuff seen at the ramp, the most funny but also sad thing I have seen at a ramp was at the Dampier public ramp , I was just coming in and noticed my work superintend was on the other side of the ramp shouting and screaming at his wife, I shouted to him to hang on and I would give him a hand , he just shouted back stay out of this you f### , had to laugh as his wife lets go of his boat and his beautiful Berty starts drifting away so the superintendent starts swimming after it then I really pissed my self when his wife walked down the ramp pulled the keys out of his 80 series cruiser and heaved them into the water , F### him she said as she walked past me

 Any one keen if I go. Won't know until tonight so will be short notice .Will be launching Mindarie. Will also be picking up some demersals.

 Are they worth the coin? Lots of people saying there arent any games for them. Does anyone have one that would highly recommend them?

 Would like to say thank you to FW member Kempy for finding the electrical problem in our car and fixing it fast and at a good price.

Recommend your business "Dinkum" to all FW members!

Cheers Randall

Hi everyone, I need a little help, how do I post a photo from iPad/iPhone onto an existing thread such as Friday funnies. Been looking around and can't find how to do it. Thanks for any responses.

Chasing a little info on spot lights for a new land cruiser I just picked up.

I don't know a lot about them, so anyone who can provide some recommendations on experience would be great.

I mainly would be using for towing the boat up north, down south etc, not so much for serious off road. Cruiser is white in colour with a Genuine Toyota Alloy bulbar, so thinking chrome spotties would be best.

Don't want to spend ridiculous amounts of money and don't want stupidly large spotties either (In size), currently looking at the Hella FF 4000 Compact spotties in Chrome.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

I saw this mentioned on another forum. It seems like yet another kick in the groin to the 4wding/fishing community.

I believe there is still access through Wilbinga Grove off Wanneroo Road, but that would make for a pretty long trip just to get down to the beach for a fish.

As some of you know or may not know i have been in antarctica for the last 3 weeks.

These photos dont even do it justice. I have plenty of gro pro footage and will be making a movie once home.

\unforuntately the best photos i need to crop as they are to big for the uploader.....ill do that when im home. but in reality photos dont do this place justice, cause in reality we are the aliens down there and thats why the animals are so curious about us. 

i have photos of multiple leaopard seal attacks and go pro footage of them but its too much editing for now.

i am currently uploading a small video to vimeo we made for the crew of the expedition in terms of saying thanks. once the video is uploaded on wimeo i will post a link.

my facebook has plenty more photos but sorry thats for people i actuelly know. Ill post more in the future.

thanks

brett 

 F&$:k you.  You craypot stealing pricks    

Had 3 pots stolen from about a mile north of cowaramup bay and rope and floats from one pot tied to the reef to say thanks   Hope your not a forum member and by the way our gear has been engraved with our id.  

You are scum!! And I hope someone steals all your fishing gear    Karma's a bitch

rant over 

Got a call this afternoon of a boat that had broken its mooring last night? and gone missing from Gnaraloo bay.

They have had southerly winds of around 25+ knots up there for the last couple of days and when they went to check they found a 7.2 metre boat missing. Not sure of the details on whether it has dragged the anchor or snapped it off but suspect it will be up towards Cape Farquar or thereabouts
Not a nice thing to wake up to.

 if anyone has lost a life jacket this week in exie pm me and describe where and when and you can have it back
