Well done peddles, sheer class 

Hi All

Have just about completed the build of a new shed and looking to get someone in to install the rollers doors. Shed is 12m(D) x 9m(W) x 5m(H) and reauires 2 roller doors installed at 3.7m high and 3.5m wide. (new home for the boat)

Given i dont really have the tools and the height it needs to be installed, windering if anyone has used someone to install these?

Tried a couple guys on gumtree with no response from either. :\

Cheers

 Up in hedland again but this time I decided I would give lures a go. Never used them much from the beach but nailed my first Queenie on popper and it's a pb. Great fun on light gear only a $20  k mart combo after my last reel died. They certainly like to jump

been getting a few lunchtime runs in and make it my business to trot through the Quay - after Bradz post a while back i wonder if this was the boat he was referring to (grey one) out of the three - the blue scout CC my favourite (one behind the Riva) :-)

 Hi all

I have fitted a TM 185 M to my boat and it is throwint a large rooster tail over the motor.

Does anyone have pics of spray guards they have fitted to their 1 kw transom mount transducers?

Thanks

Jamie

 hi fishwrecked,  taking my boys up north, leaving on 3 weeks.  Need a broken winch removed from a poly smart bar on a pajero Need a new winch installed. North of the river if possible but not fussy, all the 4wd places in wangara are booked. Can anyone recommend anyone private mechanics?  Or members that could sort it for coin?

Regards anypuddle 

 Well she's starting to get to the pointy end...

Big game coming up this week with Richmond V Geelong...

Could very well be the game that sets up the top 4...

Danger game for the Eagles this week against the Saints, a game they should win...

Port all but locked into top two and in my opinion the team to beat...

Geelong are flying and one more win will secure top 4 same for the Lions ( unless the Eagles have two big wins ) 

Richmond can't go to sleep now otherwise the Eagles could relegate them to 5th and a straight sets exit would go down like a lead balloon...

Melbourne still have a glimmer of hope, It looks like they are the only team outside the 8 that could steal a T8 finish...

Collingwoods draw against Richmond could be very handy to slot them inside the 8....

This will be an interesting debate ................  

I've allways wondered what the D9 was and found a picture of in fremantle harbour before it sank in 1962

Hi guys and girls, I was wondering about tides to visit the Quobba blowholes, I’m assuming the best time would be on a rising tide?, also is there any safe place to fish around this area to fish with young kids? , I have seen on the net that to the south there is some beach areas, I know there is a protected area around the “Quobba aquarium” but can I fish further south?

 Cheers Yewie

Evening all.

I am wanting to sell my 5 hp 2 stroke Yamaha outboard. It is currently my camping motor but was originally purchased around 10 years ago as an auxiliary though it was never placed on the boat, it just sat in the shed. 

It has done around ~10 hours in its life across three camping boats,  is physically spotless and runs without issue.

As a 2 stroke, it is light compared to the 4 strokes.

Any suggestions as to what I would ask to get for it? 
 

I am in no hurry to sell but intend to get a 15hp.

 Was speeaking to seargent in charge of Shark Bay this morning, conversation came up about last weeks sea rescue mission.

Seems three bloke took off from Denham in a 3.5 metre dinghy and headed over to Useless Loop to do some fishing, strong sea breeze came in and boat over turned tossing them and all their gear in to the drink. They can thank their lucky stars that they had an epirb with them because as Bondy said, they wouldn't be here today.

 Been thinking about  buying  some form of absorbing matt or something similar  to stand on whilst driving my boat , its mainly for use during  the white run when i gotta go flat stick to get back in time for work , need something to save my back as come Christmas time  i can barely  move it ,obviously buying  a  fibreglass rig will help but that won't be happeing anytime soon,  any suggestIons fellas  ?? Cheers 

Anyone done any good online sounder courses?

ive been looking at Ryan moody but that seems to be mostly shallow/creek/Barra stuff, whereas I want something for deeper (say 40 to 300m)

any eecommendations? 

Weak as piss...The eagles getting the same umpires we get at home..

Freo to beat GWS..

 Just had a good feed of whiting I got in hedland .

Enjoyed every bite

 G'day guys,

Just chasing any recommendations on handheld Vhf units, needing a new one for the dinghy.

Having a look at the GME 5w Gx625, but let us know. 

Cheers,

Nathan.

 Close call for Rossi.

  Its typical woke up too damn early for a Sunday with no work. Still dark but no wind and high tide in 3 hours . Decision was made. Early breakfast and coffee and off to the beach. Arrived and got set up as the sun was rising over the horizon . Soon enough the whiting were biting and they were still going strong when I had my limit. Nothing big today as the damn crabs kept stealing the bait

Our current house is being demolished as the owner wants to build a 4 story place with 12 car garage.  Caught up with him today and asked if I could have the old butcher’s block that was at the house.  Happily he agreed.

I would like to generally restore it as a filleting station, and am seeking members views on the best options.  Don’t know what the timber is, but it has lasted a long time in the salt air.  Was thinking of taking the top inch off with a chainsaw, chiselling the bark then sanding/oiling?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks. Mick

Anyone else partake in cold Pies for dinner?

 Had some time off today . Winds howling but the tide was right so I only knew of 1 place to go fishing. Well I nailed it . Got myself a pb salmon of around 600 and bagged on whiting.

Gday guys, I'm really not much of a tyre/rim expert but I have an 08 stock standard SR5 dual cab hilux ( no lift kit) and the tyres are at the replacement stage. I have standard 255/70R15 C's at the moment and have toyed with the idea of going larger. I need to spend money on new tyres and as there are plenty of guys on here with good knowledge, what do you think I should do ? Just stick to the same rims and replace with a good tyre ( recommendations please, I prefer an all terrain to cover most bases) ? or go slightly bigger but not so much that I need upgrades to suspension ? I do a bit of beach work and odd 4wd but nothing out of the ordinary. I have thought about a lift kit but I will not own the car long enough to justify spending more, just looking at options and seeking opinions.
Cheers

 Found my first piece of gold yesterday out here at Meekatharra. Was hiding in between the roots of a tree and boy was I over the moon when I dug it out. A nice 2.8 gram specimen. Hoping I can find lots more of the shiny stuff now. This prospecting gig is hard work, but starting to get the hang of it now.

 I have only received one renewal out of two so far and that renewal is for annual entrance to the Island. It looks like it has gone up by around about 2% even though the Island was closed to boating for 3 months or so this year. No credits no fee reductions. It made me look at mooring licencee renewal fees and they look to have gone up even more!! 

I cant believe they could think we will ban you from Island for 3 months (during arguably the best Easter period for ages) and not consider any form of credit or fee reduction.

I've had my whinge now and feeling slightly better - .....kind of......

Gday Folks,

I am trying to organise a camping trip for a group of lads in a few weeks time and looking for suggestions of where to go.

Criteria is as follows

-within 2.5 hours of Perth

-softroader accessible (all 4WDs but theres an Xtrail in the mix).  This rules out a lot of my go-to spots.

-No campgrounds, we want to be able to have a few cans and a few laughs without worrying about neighbours.

-ideally on some water (i.e a river, a dam etc).

I've heard that there are areas along the Collie river that you can find a spot and pull up to camp but I just cant find any solid information on which parts or how accessible it is.

The Waroona and Wellington Dams are possibilities (done Wellington before).  I scoped out Wellington Dam last weekend and it was very empty around the parts that are easily accessible - maybe I attacked it from the wrong end (SE).

Any ideas appreciated - PM me if its your secret spot :)

Cheers,

Dave

 Fellas I'm thinking about buying one of the newish 17 Hornets... I used to use one as a youngster and was probably the most fun rifle I've ever shot ( necked down 22 hornet back in the day )...

My question is, well firstly does anyone have one??

Secondly, what power optics are guys running....

I'm pretty sure the 17 Rem and 17 Hornet we used to use both had 8 x 56 khales on em...

I'll be doing a fair bit of hunting at at night under a light or in low light conditions...

Anyone got a ripper scope they can recommend without having to mortgage the house??
