Just wondering if anyone cuts their own wood for a wood fire soemwhere north of the river?

Checked out the DEC website, and only showing 2 locations to get wood from (Jarrahdale and south or Waroona). Ended up going down south of Waroon as my old man lives in Mandurah and needed some wood as well. However will most likely need more before winter is over, and looking for somewhere closer to home.

Anyone know of any designated wood cutting areas north of the river in the hills?

Cheers

From the pic angle and the teeth I'd say its an Angel Shark

Hi all,Trying to get some feed back on what people think and their experiances on either a furuno 585 compaired to the lowrance hds to the same value.I know its an age old dicussion but im interested to get an update fron crew that have had this desission to make,how they went with what they brought and so on.Most of my fishing is done off mandurah in 50-100 metres but i also use the boat for game fishing.finding bait schools that may be 50m under the boat in 1000m of water is what i want my sounder to do.Am i asking to much from a non commersial sounder.My best mate has the 585 and 1kw transducer which is what im leaning toward and he loves it.I currently have a hds7 for my plotter and i like the idea of having maching units so they can talk to each other.Is that just a gimmick?Any info from fellow members would be appreciated.Cheers

The raffle was drawn at the presentation dinner of Carnarfin fishing competition, 1102 tickets were bought and it gives our funds to build a training centre a huge $5.500 boost.

The winner was Moanna Woods with ticket number   1661

2nd prize was Tony Young   with ticket number  0152

  Both are well known locals

Again , many thanks to all those who  purchased tickets 

Due to ill health I wasn't able to attend so cannot give details of the comp winners or weights.

did anybody go the fishing gear auction at Bevis and Co on friday if so did they get any bargins

Hi, I am looking for someone in the northern sector that can help me finish installing my Garmin FF / GPS . I have the unit installed with the GPS working (that was the easy bit) but I will admit that I am not to keen on the instalation of the transducer etc . I know that its probably an easy job if you have done it before but I dont want to bugger anything up So if anybody can help please get in touch. Plenty beer on the go.   

While not entered in to this years Carnarfin fishing comp the main thing that has been discussed between crews was the amount of sharks being hooked and eating hooked fish. The times one spent on radio duty and listening in it seem that at one stage there was at least 10-12 boats all hooked on to sharks at once up around Koks island.

I spoke to people down from Exmouth and an old bloke who is stopping on Gnaraloo for a few months and it was the same up that way as well. One rumour that came about was that a week back the fisheries vessel Naturaliste put out a 100 hook set line and caught 83 sharks, a figure I only could dream of while doing it professionally with up to 750 hooks in the water.

Either they consider opening the area up to shark fishing or its going to be a near waste of time going fishing because all you are doing is feeding the buggers.

Well with the wind blowing fishing was canned and we went for a quick spin in the boat and a dive on the three mile .viz was good 8-10m and water was starting to get a little chilly or im getting soft We did see a nice harlie and two dhuies .great not having to pull the anchor .just push a button..The boat took four sets of dive gear and four guys 150lt of fuel and didnt even feel any different .handlels nice not as good as glass but that is the trade off i was willing to make .for the deck space.you could live at the Abrolhos for a week and be in comfort .cruising 3900rpm 21knots WOT5500rpm 36.4 knots not bad for a big boat with a load.Will get some fish next week. here are a few pics

So the bombers were beaten by a team with zero wins...silence, if that was WCE the forums would be going crazy, just goes to show it seems everyone secretly follows WCE!

Well it's taken a few weeks but the new boat sits in her new resting place. will be hitting the fishing tomorrow and diving Monday give her a good run and introduction into fishing Paul style. get some blood and scales on the deck. will post some pics of her first trip.

Hi Computer Peepz,

Can anyone recommend to me where I can get a 'cheap' and compatible (if possible) wifi pci-e adapter for a Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)?

Trying to get my desktop onto ADSL 2+ Wifi but have found my laptop is too old and found it easy on my IPAD, but would like to get rid of the ethernet cables stretched accross the house.

Any suggestions, links etc?  Would like to try and get it local (netplus or someone) so if there's issues I can return it without too much hassle.  Not having much luck with google searches at the mo.

Cheers,

Adam

ive got to drive to work near port hedland early october justbeen thinking about taking the boat with me are conditions still good at that time of the year will have about 9 or 10 days to go from perth to hedland ant tips would be appreciated thanks

Just back from a couple of hours fishing off mindarie rocks and I would ask the so called fishermen that use this area to clean up after they have finished. The place was an absolute disgrace with empty beer bottles, empty bait bags, and all kind of other shit left lying around. Come on guys play the game, we are fortunate to have some of the best fishing spots in the world so why not keep it as natural as possible. Having said that I hope that these so called fishermen are not part of this forum and I hope that I am not the only one who is of this opinion. 

Hi Guys

over the last couple of weeks I've had my boat raided a few times looking for things to steal.

Luckily i dont leave much in there, had some rope stolen, a pair of boga grips, and a 1/3 bottle of scotch (long story but it was a luckly bottle of cheap red label!), and a small medical kit.

Night before last the dog went nuts at something out side, so went out for a look but didnt see anything. Had a quick look in the boat and didnt see much. In the morning i took a closer look and noticed someone had been inside the cabin under the console, and pulled everything out from under the gunwales (gloves, rope, stubby holders etc).

The only thing taken which im annoyed about is i bought a new rope for tieing up to jetty's etc, (you know one of those fancy ropes thats easy to tie and undo etc.)

So it bought me to think about security i can add to the boat. Does anyone know if you can get motion alarms for boats? Im sure someone has told me before you can put something on the boat, and when there is movement (like someone walking on it) an alarm goes off?

What do other do, if anything for security?

Cheers

Eight rescued from sinking boat

Mrs gates had been nagging me to take the dogs down to the beach for a run so I took an hour off yesterday from building the new boat shed's roof trusses and headed down. Also took the new Nikon D5100 for a play....here's a couple of pics.

Still getting the hang of the camera and enjoying trying new things.

Can anyone tell me how far offshore the Gemini wreck is And Are they catching any Sambos in the area

Hi all,

Looking at upgrading the GPS. The one I have now is an old Lowrance LMS 334C. Not a bad unit but becoming unreliable as it needs resetting from time to time and waypoints just seem to disappear. So would like some recommendations on a new unit.Nothing ridiculously expensive or huge but am looking for quality.

Cheers

took my 90series prado for a wheel alignment and was told all my bushes are stuffed,  (i'm not very mechanical, but seemed to be every bushing underneath but the front sway bar)

pedders are quoting around the $1000 mark.

any info on where I should go and if this is a reasonable price?

I have heard pedders suspension is not the greatest so would this be the same for there bushes too?

 Hello, I'm chasing some opinions on 5.5 to 6m ali runabouts (no V-berths) and engine combos under 40k (second hand). My last boat was a 20ft glassy but was too big and heavy for everyday use.

If you're into the IPL the final is on tonight.
