Does anyone what volume of rainfall has to fall before the road between Port Hedland to Broome starts to flood? Looking at leaving early in the morning to avoid Rusty but dont want to get caught out half way. 

Notice to those that like hitting the beaches north of Two Rocks, the developers have blocked access with rocks to the track leading to The shacks and other fishing spots along that way this might be the start to access being denied thru that area be wary in that area as the farmer who has the adjoining property doesn't like trespassers!

So, driving around Karratha yesterday I notice every 3rd boat is an import (up here usually 21-30ft).  So the question is, what is this going to do to our boating industry when the market here becomes satuarated with all these imports?  I know Perth has the same sitatuion going on now with people looking to get a great deal from the states, does this mean in 3-5 years there will be a heap of cheaper boats going around from local manufacturers?  Will there be a heap of US boats floating around cheap as people look to upgrade to bigger and better stateside boats?  Or will things just stay the same?

How do you guys think this is all going to play out?

Coles and Woolies will of course have this nicely presented on ice, with all the other fish varieties..............priced at $7 or $8 kilo.  Made to appear pretty reasonable against the other fresh stuff at anything up to $25 kilo.

looking at getting a new combo unit lowance hds 7 will be used as a fish finder mostly wat is a fair price and are they any good thanks

 Hi everyone,

went down near the river this morning for breakfast with the mrs. Whilst there we went for the usual scope out if anyone is fishing walk along the river. Came across some blokes scooping for pippis.

a few questions if I may. Do ya reckon these would be ok to eat or just as bait?

also is there any hot spots to try for pippis in the metro area? (Pm if need be)

i love fettuccini vongole so some fresh pippis would go down nicely in that.

many thanks

G'day All,

Will be chasing a 4wd soon.

Just wondering what everybody's advice would be if they had to buy one with about 30k to spend.

would prefer a turbo diesel, unsure whether to get a wagon or a dual cab ute.

Not really into climbing mountains, just a beast that will drive over sand and dunes.

Have been told an 80series turbo diesel, the only problem being they are now getting pretty old and most of the ones i see advertised have well over 300 000k's.

Everybody's input appreciated

Cheers

Group of us heading to Wilbinga Saturday night for all nighter. Have not been up there before. What being caught evening and morning. Is there much reef etc?

Will probably use standard bottom tailor rig - Mulie Baits. Will I need traces incase of sharks?

Guys I am going with know the way in so no worry there.

Hey Guys !

Need some advice.  We are due to head down to Albany next week for our yearly boys weekend away ( The BOYCOTT ) but the weather is already looking terrible, so I have suggested to the boys that we head North to try and find some nicer weather.  Only problem is I/we have never even fished past Lancelin.  Where abouts from Lancelin to Shark Bay would be the best place to head for a 5 day trip.  We will be camping and have a 4wd and we will be in a 5.9 runabout. A caravan park would be preferable but I guess if the spots nice camping without power or shower would be fine.

Any Suggestions would be awesome.

Thanks in advance Guys !!!

just wanna give big props to Ryan and Blake at oceanside.....been a hard slog for a year and a half with my demercal stuff, Ryan and blake have been doing there best to get me on the fish, comming out on the tub a couple times, and wesnedays two rocks bash resulted in 5 dhuies a black bum a baldie and a pink....all on metals so was all a first

Cheers lads and many more trips to come.

Now with the predictions looking like a Tuesday impact off a severe Tropical Cyclone on the Pilbarra, how could a better name apply than Rusty.

Worthy of its own thread .... Lmao.

 Hi guys

 I am looking to purchase a 3D printer in the next couple of months and I am almost baffled by all the choices. Does anyone own one on here?

 My budget is around 2k but I'm flexible if the right one comes along. The projects I would like to print would be quite small. 

 It almost seems that by the time I get one, it will be obsolete :/

Hello

Does anyone have a bimini for a half cabin 5m boat, 3 or 4 bow for sale or want to give away?

Or know of someone that sells them cheap??

the Fu*k up fairy has been....

Well done George (abledog) on winning the largest harlequin for the day.

Was watching that 'Hook,Line and Sinker' programme on 72 today. They did a so called economy test between a 300hp 4st Yammie against an old 175hp 2st Johnno Ocean Runner. They travelled twelve miles out to the continental shelf, three hours of trolling and then twelve miles back and then filled the tanks to the top. The boats were a 21ft barcrusher (brand new) against an approx. 21ft Haines (older version). Not really comparable.

The yammie used about 60lts compared to the Johnno using nearly 160lts!!! I find that very hard to believe. Considering I have a 93 Johnno 150 2st and I have gone 25 miles out done a whole days fishing including trolling, drifting back and forth and then headed back  and not used more than half that (ie. 80lts). I know that Yamaha is one of their sponsors but come on, let's be real about it otherwise their credibility will be shot to the sheet house.

I have been spending alot of time over summer capturing Rottnest (Photographing it). Lots of HOT days, early mornings and alot of carring heavy equipment.
Thought i would share it all with you guys.

First off i will show what my girlfreind Lisa put together. She has been following me and doing videography and got some amaising shots aswll. Enjoy the video just remember to click it to HD

For those who are thinking of travelling up this way please watch out for roos and goats.

Did the round trip today leaving Carnarvon at 0400 to head down to Gero for a morning appointment then back again straight after.

Lots of roos about 50-60 km north of Wooramel where it has rained recently and again with plenty of goats to keep them company half way between Overlander and Billabong.

Looks like someone has the job of cleaning the bodies off the road because the twenty plus fresh ones from early this morning were missing on the return trip, taking away all the warning signs we would normally slow down after seeing a few of.

I received this the other day.

Dear friends,


There are less than 8 months until election day when the people will decide who will be the next Prime Minister of Australia.

The person elected will be the Prime Minister of all Australians, not just the Liberals or Labor.

It's time for us all to come together, Liberals and Laborites alike, in a bi-partisan effort, for Australia.

So here is the favour I ask of you –

If you support Tony Abbot, please drive with your headlights ON during the day.

If you support Julia Gillard, please drive with your headlights OFF at night.

Together, we can make it happen.

 hello guys,

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with local boat yards selling their boat on consignment?  Does anyone have any recommendations or ones to stay clear of or approx price they were  charged.  I would love to hear how others have gone
