Voracious little f**kers

Do all the mackies, spanglies , cobes etc know something we dont?

Perth , the new broome, ha!

Need a new camera after the last one got under the wheels of the cruiser.

How is the quality of the gopro hero 3 black version when shooting a lot of indoor still shots??

Would it be good for this or am I better off buying another point and shoot?

cheers

 Just wondering if anyone has purchased or used one of these?

 http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=330835456071&globalID=EBAY-A

thinking of forking out for one to check and see what fish and life are on the lumps when we head out deeo on bodies boat.

my question is are they relatively clear ?

and does anyone find them effective for similar sort of uses?

any other suggestions for under water cameras to be used for the same purpose around the $300 mark would be appreciated. Basically wanting to lower down a camera and get some live video to see if there is much activity 

cheers

Couple of lovely memaids woking on board too ;) the rig is the Atwood Eagle and has just finished being towed in from out to sea. We will be transfered each day to the rig for 12 hr night and day shifts. bloody hot here and hotter in the bowels of the rig.[IMG]http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad123/ /iphone126.jpg[/IMG]

Hey fellas

Thought some of you may appreciate this one.

Some of you may be aware that motackle.com.au does a jackpot daily. Me and a mate check it, and have told each other that if we see the others name come up we would let each other know.

I was having a stinker of a day at work yesterday and through comes an e-mail from a mate. He had taken a screenshot of the motackle jackpot from their main page, except he had photoshopped my name into it! and did a bloody good job at that.

So I e-mailed motackle without checking the website... then realised that the website had another name on it! I'd been had! Lucky it was the arvo here, and the shop was closed when I had called, otherwise I would have looked like an even bigger goose! talking on the phone about winning...  After I realised I sent a quick e-mail explaining that I had been had on in a big way, and subsequently my mate would no longer be allowed onto my boat. haha

My mate gave me heaps (probably felt a bit bad too)...

'Bout lunch time today I went onto the site to have a look and bam. The good folks at motackle decided to give me a $100 free voucher because it was so funny and I had been gotten so badly. Cheers guys appreciate it.

All in all, it was well played by my mate, i copped a fair bit of embarrassment and scored myself $100 in fishing gear thanks to the folks at motackle having a good sense of humour!

Not too bad eh?

I think this HAS to be the excuse I was looking for to buy myself a new Saltiga?!

Cheers,

Alex

Want to get a second battery installed in the Prado for running fridges etc off when the vehicle is not being driven.  While I understand you can do it yourself I don't have a blue clue when it comes to this sort of thing.  Anyone got any recommendations on someone who can do a cheap but good install?

Cheers

im at dampier having a fish got a 1 inch tear in my bemini can anyone tell me were i can get it stitched up around here thanx for any help

Well, seems to be that time of the year again, dunno about you but I much prefer to online shop rather than deal with the masses, queues and irate people in shopping centres.  I'm a bit of a see something and buy it person, but been looking online lately and nothing much is appealing to me.  Thought I'd put it out there and see what some of you guys are getting your missus's for Chrissie this year, apart from the obvious books/jewellery/lingerie or whatever, anyone found anything cool out there that will keep the other half impressed with your 'thoughtfulness' ;)

Can anyone tell me when do you have to pay the fee for Rotto? meaning at what point should you have to pay? as an example if I were to take my boat to the west end and fish for the day then go into one of the bays and anchor up for the night so i could go out and fish the FADS in the morning and return home.... all with out connecting to a mooring or landing on the shore, just staying on the boat.

Was up at Seabird on the weekend scoping out some fishing spots when we came upon this washed up cray boat. Speaking to a local they were going to bring in an excavator last night to dig a trench and hopefully pull it out on high tide with a tug. Luckily no damage to the prop or rudder. I think the storm surge was so big it just washed over the reef on the right of pics.

More money well spent
I'm just wondering if people other than fisherman and 4wd enthusiasts visit the island?

http://mobile.news.com.au/national/m-plan-to-restore-dirk-hartog-island/story-fndo4e3y-1226528875149

thinking about heading to the fortescue river mouth is there any camping facilities there and can i expect to get some fish any advice appreciated thanx

 Well with uni done and the weather not being friendly I was left no option but to chuck a few old jarrah planks together into a fresh rod rack. Few hours of sanding, cutting, drilling screwing and oiling and she was done. Pretty happy with it and much better than the crappy placcy ones that I was previously using.

I was looking for some water based activities for the kids when we have picnics down at the river-point walter etc ,maybe for also down at dunsborough as well

dont want something to tow behind a boat, just something you can peg/rope into a spot on a beach

I have seen kids playing on water trampolines in movies where they have usa holiday camps at big lakes, and was wondering if people have seen these for sale in perth ?

 I assume that it would need the tube to be made from some sailcloth type material that wont rip

we have kayaks and a dinghy, so thought one of these would also be fun ?

 How windy is too windy. In terms of knots and km/h. Seasterly winds. Landbased fishing at preston beach for example.

Imagine getting caught in this nasty stuff...there's only one former legend from here , that would've gone out in that...

been trying to head of for 2 months now heading up tomorow at last never fished dampier so any tips or reports would be very helpful thanxs in advance

Hi all have just purchased the HDS9 gen2 with stucture scan and will be installing it before Xmas so can hopefully play with it over the break. Does anyone use it at the moment? I'm watching the tutorial video and it looks pretty impressive. Any hints or tips if you appreciated.

Opened the freezer this morning to get some fillets out to thaw for tea and had to make a decision on what to grab.

Should it be goldband snapper, robinson sea bream, pearl perch, dhufish ---yes dhufish [ son got one on his last trip on the wetliner],  radiant cod or just common old pink snapper.

After much consideration decided on radiant cod and it was bloody delicious, sorry no pics because it didn't last that long.

 One power boat and four yachts washed up onto Palm Beach.It's certainly a wild storm front.

I'll have to go for a walk down there in another hour to give an update.

Also wondering how many craypots will go missing with this wild weather.

 G'day all,

After just having sold my little tyrnos 10 to a fellow site member I am in the market for an upgrade. It's to go on an xzoga taka ba100-60 pe 1-3 rod. Now my little tyrnos did me well but I am after something a little more specky and with some more bling.

my thoughts so far are 

saltiga z20 overhead star drag

perhaps a jigging master power spell?

shimano tranx

will mainly be used for 20-40 m bottom fishing with baits chasing snapper and Dhuies ect.

my main preference thus far would be the saltiga as I do really like daiwa products but I am open to better suggestions.

Cheers to the lads Damo n' Dave at DOS, fought past the hoardes of schoolies & headed in to get myself a spanking new knife set with the ban coming to an end now I am all sorted. From the range of dexter's, martini's & mora's picked one each, sweeeeeeeet!!

Hi Guys

Im looking at going to onslow for a week next year, any advice on accommodation for 2 people and a boat.

Cheers
