Dear all

Hope we are all on here at the end of this. 

Do not take this lightly because of the encouraging figures we have seen. 

Please please reconsider all non essential activity during This Easter 

You will be protecting your loved ones and us essential worker's in the front line. 

I don't believe boating is essential nor is fishing.

Please protect me and other essential services by going over the top to prevent this from spreading.

We can hopefully all survive and fish and party like no tomorrow after.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME.

I STAY AT WORK FOR YOU

STAY AT HOME FOR ME

Doc

 Hi everyone, I am new to the site and would like to say hello to all the members. i am a keen fisho who has spent most of his time fishing the metro waters, both from shore and from boats. Have done the odd fishing trip away with the boys over the years but it's been a long time between trips and i am itching really bad to get away but i guess with all the recent events it'll be a while now till i can get away. i look forward to learning all the tips and ideas of how many catch their fish and i hope i can contribute with some of my own knowledge of what works and doesn't work for me. take it easy everyone 

Pretty cool setup for beach launching. Pretty long video and not sure if's it been onhere before

 Fw crew, does anyone know the trick to be able to listen to standard ABC Radio via digital?

Right now on 720 in my ute is a footy talk show, come inside and try and find it it's always the digital programs instead of what's on analog?

Does anyone know a way around this?

 Hi Guys, like many have had to do, we cancelled our two week stay at Yardie Creek Caravan Park Exmouth for the start of July. when i rang and cancelled the accommodation i was asked to pot the request in writing, which i did. We got an acknowledgement to the email but two weeks down the track, no cash! We paid just over $2k so keen to get it back. I tried ringing them yesterday but phone goes straigt to a recorded message saying they are closed due to COVID19. I'm sure there would be pleanty of members that had bookings at Yardie over the comming months.........has anyone got their money back as yet??

 Anyone know why the old pylons to the south if ammo jetty were removed?

 So I'm gonna have a crack at this since I've got plenty of time on my hands.

I bought a genuine Suzuki service kit online a while ago so want to have a crack.

I'm pretty hands on with most things but looking for a few tips etc and what to look for. Will use Dr Google for youtube vids but always good to get some local advice.

Cheers 

It’s finally happening

Ok I’m pretty sure we definitely can’t go fishing now due to stage 3 restrictions in WA

The government now has the capacity to enforce these restrictions.

“If you choose to ignore the law, there’s every chance you’ll get caught,” McGowan said. People must stay at home unless shopping for essential items medical or exercising 

 with all this sitting at home or wherever you may be it can get so damn boreing. 

you can omly watch so much tv or movies , then you have the food consumption that goes with boredome . 

what are people doing to solve these things. 

.

Have had to shitcan my 40th birthday in 4 weeks time and with lockdown seemingly imminent I rushed out yesterday and grabbed my pressie. 

Plan is for the kids to surprise me to give them a bit of excitment and Ima have all the time in the world to get accustomed to her.

 Surfing the web while sitting around at home and found this article from carsales dated 28 March 

subtitled Road Trips

Until such time as you’re actually diagnosed with coronavirus, there’s nothing to stop you taking a trip out into the country and visiting places that would welcome you and your money. Unless the whole country goes into lock-down, then revert back to suggestions one through four.

Just make sure that you’re not living beyond your means doing so.

There are so many great places to see and things to do within an hour or so of any capital city in Australia.

Plan your trip around things that you want to do; focus on the car museums or race tracks dotted around the state, or find a lovely scenic drive to enjoy.

 While in k town I thought I would check out the local ramp. Got a bit of a shock as to how low the tide can go. Plenty of fish around as in mudskipp 

 Put them up Ledge if you were considering not too, mate we all need a good laugh in these times. It distracts from the shit. 

Here's a couple to get the ball rolling

Plenty of discussion already I know, I'm a lucky one been set up to work from home....first week and its doing my head in already.

Who's out of work...lost major contracts...let good staff go etc?

Anybody get the Gov $700 payment...did it help, is there additional help available?

Lots of people doing it tough for sure, mental well being is a big concern!

 Saw this on Facebook 

Looking at doing an outdoor kitchen living area in my backyard. It's more the patio/gazebo that I would need to get designed. Is anyone or can anyone recommend someone who could design something up. Location dawesville. 

 Just heard that new Zealand are going to shut down for a month . That should kill the virus. Off. Not a bad idea really. 

 Just saw this on ABC

https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-22/wa-sa-set-to-close-borders-amid-coronavirus-fight/12079044

It looks like Rottnest is going to become a Quarantine for people who might have the virus! 

Lets hope that it doesnt turn into a quarantine only destination!

Well it’s strange times we live in, seeing plenty of stories that concern, my wife is a diabetic so she’s at risk. Elderly at risk. Seeing posts this morning where it’s also being transmitted via fuel pumps, so that’s something else to be considered. I’m happy to sit at home, just venture out for alcohol runs. Look after yourselves and your families, and hopefully we all come out the other side in good health.
On a side note, I saw yesterday where Trump said, this virus is killing people who haven’t died before.

Any news on whether Coral Bay is going to remain open or shutting down during this period of uncertainty. We are booked in on the 16th May but seeing how many places are winding down so as to try and prevent the spread I'm just wondering if the Bay is going to be affected. 

 heading to K town for a couple of weeks work and tossing up weather to throw a rod on the truck in case i get some down time while there. no 4x4

Hey Guys, whats everyone doing with there super, moving it to cash or just leave it and hope for the best?

 Mate has just sent me these pics from ocean reef. 8 slashed or deflated tires

 Either it's shithouse act by some grub or old mate pissed someone of badly.

 Either way Not what you want after a days fishing.
