Just a heads up

There is a coloured bag being sold on the market which comes in various colours which has been failing.
It has been worked out if the bag owner puts the bag into full sun in high temperatures and has had all the air removed it then swells (expands) in the heat.
If placed in water by accident it cools rapidly and sucks water into the bag as these do not have a proper seal they are just a folded over lip.Valuables such as mobiles and electronic equipment is at risk of damage.

Anyone heading to the islands on the australia day weekend,weather is looking ok

I might be wrong, but saw a DVD Saints and Soldiers - Airbourne Creed, and I was sure it was Michael Clarke that stared in the leading role. It not but a actor called Corbin Allred.

Didnt know Clarkey was a fighting man but I am sure I have now seen his double.

Hi Guys,

Just wondering, I am in the market for a new BBQ. Got a bit of a project happening and going to put a inbuilt one in.

I am wondering what you use the most. the hotplate or the grill.

i am picking between 2 bbq's. 1 with all hotplate and the other hotplate and grill. I understand that the second is the best of both worlds, but unless you use the grill it can be a bit of a waste.

 hi, anyone know how to contact Todd from Epic Marine? Is he still trading?

another question for you motor bike boffins out there.

why does fuel leak from bike, when bike  turned off ?? turning off fuel tap stops it, but there must be a reason why, when fuel is on and bike stopped.

i am new to m/bikes so am still learning what to do to help my 2 boyz out.

i/ we have 2 bikes now a 125cc atomic bigshot for 15y old and a 250 honda ballistic for 17 year old, besides patterson rd off road area, is there any ware else around rockingham area we are able to go legily to ride.

Hi, I know that people on here wont know me. But I have decided to shave it all off for charity if I can raise enough money,the target is $5000, The hair will defaintly go, but the beard will stay if I cant get enough. My wife wants to see the beard go.

I have been hit up from workmates and others to shave it off to which I have always said no I like my beard the way it is. I have grown attached to it after 13 odd yrs of growing it.

I hope out of this there will be some generous people who can help my wife get her wish and see the beard go.

 Got out in a mates boat today to get a feed of crabs, in the water by 5:15am, on our way home again with our limit by 8:30! Great morning and now I am stuffed to the gills with sweet chili crab cakes!

Anyone else going to see them in a couple of weeks?

Should go off.  Playing the Blue album all the way through plus a bunch of other classics.

Just ordered myself a new Stella 4000SW and looking for a rod to match it with, anyone have any suggestions.

Plan on  spooling it with 30LB braid and will be used as a lighter jigging and plastics rod for Perth, and a shallower water plastic combo for Exmouth

Am chasing a rod with a bit of bend and feel, nothing too stiff

2 rods im looking at so far are

Daiwa Catalina J57S Jig 3/4.

Daiwa Saltiga Coastal SG62S PE 2-3 or SG60S PE 3-4. I have a Saltiga coastal SG57S matched to a Stella 8k and is by far the best combo I've owned, couple pics below. PE 5 and locked drag....

Anyone have any other suggestions?? price isnt a factor.

Cheers

​The marron season opened at midday yesterday, Tuesday 8 January 2013 and will run until midday on 5 February 2013.

Department of Fisheries Manager for the Southwest Bioregion Tim Nicholas says marron populations have shrunk over recent decades, mostly because of low rainfall, reduced river flow and increasing salinity.

“Therefore fishers are reminded that they must adhere to the bag and size limits, this will help to keep marron populations sustainable,” Mr Nicholas said.

For the upcoming season the daily bag limit is eight marron per licensed fisher and the possession limit is 16 marron in non-trophy waters.

Trophy waters can be found in the waters of, and within 500 metres of the waterline of Harvey Dam, Waroona Dam (and its tributaries) and the Hutt River, north of Geraldton.

A marron must have a carapace length of at least 80 mm before you can keep it.

Different marron fishing rules apply to trophy waters; in these waters there is a combined daily bag and possession limit of five marron per licensed fisher and a marron must have a carapace length of a least 90 millimetres before you can keep it.

A licence is required for recreational marron fishing.

To find out more about the  marron fishing rules, including legal fishing gear and specific types of marron waters or to buy your licence online, go to the Department of Fisheries website at www.fish.wa.gov.au.

You can also buy your licence at Australia Post outlets or Fisheries offices.

 About 18 months ago I was lucky enough to get a spot out fishing with Buz, since then he has taken me out a few times and never disappointed.. I've kept in touch with him, an he's always happy to give advise,and a friendly chat, and a regular contributes on this forum ... I also met his beautiful fiancé Anna...

Buz and Anna get married on Saturday, and I just wanted to wish them both the best for a long and happy future together, and all the best for Saturday 

cheers mate Ric

mmmm...not good those fires and all the homes gone....what shall we do for our fellow fishos down there...ideas?

There were a few posts leading up to Christmas with ideas on presents so I thought I would share this. I found a guy who does these carvings into wood from an electrronic photo. They're brilliant and the wife loved them. I'm getting more.

This looks like fun.
