had a pretty good thunder storm come through as most of you would have, I always try to get some pictures when that happens, this is my best one tonight.

after a certain member of this site gave a spot for snapper I checked it out on the way home from checking the pots we caught heaps of baby smapper (all released) so the demersal ban looks like its working fish are spawning and to me looks like my young bloke might be able to catch a fish in the future

watch this (loud), and then cross your fingers that St Paul and the Broken Bones make it over here when they're in the country in 2016 - which they're currently not doing!

What a set of pipes for a white man!

 I just got a GoPro hero 4 to start takimg some footage on the boat when were out fishing. Wondering what would be the best way to mount it out there and any accessories I need or should get?

And also the best / easiest video editing software for someone completely new to it? 

We will be running drop lines off Gero so hopefully I get some good footage... So far playing around with the camera im not very impressed with the quality, but maybe that all changes with editing.

had my pots in for a few days now , still no crays yet , thanks to the bloke in the 12 ft dingy on his own with his two pots that had a chat out on the water to us and explained to us how it is all about the moons
decide when the crays will walk , asked him if he had had any pots stolen or move and he said " no mine wheigh 40 t0 50 kg " "cricky mate how do you pull them on your own with out a winch " " I have a way that makes it easy " thought to my self wish I new that way

So for a laugh I clicked on this link from gumtree http://zoxoro.com.au/ is it me or are these guys on another planet?

after the Perth bike show I was in inundated with people wanting to buy my Triton Frasers Australia approached said they had a client in NSWs that wanted it , made me an offer no person in there right mind would knock back , so sorry to say my 30 year relationship the bike is over

 Im chasing opinions from you blokes about the benefit of arb intensity lights from those of you who have them

ive got hid lightforce now and they are bright as most of you know 

but I'm tossing up whether to get the intensitys

so I'm hoping someone has had either a set of lightforce or Hellas and changed to the intensitys and can give me an opinion

cheers fellas 

 Catch it on the news tonight if you don't have pay tv. Rear left tyre explode at 250mh, good thing is Craig's ok.

 Just wondering...I read The West, NZ Herald, Hawkes Bay Today online...what papers do you guys read online?

next week will be 6 weeks since it started , the whole job was supposed to take 6 weeks and they haven't finished the right hand side , as usual rocky council has let it get out of control , lots and lots of people that use that ramp are getting more and more pissed of , every time you go down there slack arse work force are sitting in the sea container having a brew up and have their ute parked in the disabled parking spot , not realy their fault I suppose if our local council is letting them get away with it no wonder out rates went up wopping 7&

Anyone have any tips on removing marine carpet and especially the glue that is left behind once removed?

Cheers, Churchy

Howdy.

First of all, I have looked through the search results and have found some answers though most are old.

I am looking to part cash and pick up a generator. My brothers both have Honda generators and have never had a problem with them (only used once or twice a year so I should expect not).

I am looking for something between 1000kva and 2500kva, as a backup to my solar panels when I go camping. Running at most, two 50l fridges.

I am very much a bang for buck kinda guy and keep getting drawn to the $600 no name ones at Bunnings and similar and are more inclined to buy two of them as opposed to one Honda/Yammy though would like some feedback on no name generators.

Who has one (other than Honda or Yammy) and what is it like?

I have a Hyundai 1200kva which has never been used in anger though it is an industrial one and I need something more compact to fit in my camper.

 ok this one has me baffled so can anyone give me any insight?  have a customer wanting a quote and has specified a ( VHR ) radio. have asked are you sure do you mean VHF? is adiment its VHR, have never heard of these , so anyone know any help would be great

 G'day guys. 

Last year a couple of mates and I ran from Scarborough to South freo to raise funds and awareness for the movember foundation. The Tashed up bogans managed to raise over 17 grand and this year we're aiming to better that effort. I know times are tough at the moment but if you've got a few bucks to donate to a cause that supports men's health, you can donate to my page by clicking http://mobro.co/DumperD

 Hi all,

although not not fishing related I thought I would ask the advice of the fellow fishwrecked community about CPAP machines. Just recently finished a trial of a cpap device and I was amazed at the difference in how you feel after sleeping with one for a few months and then going without (like a good woman I suppose. Hahah)

has as anyone else trialled, bought a machine recently?  If so any feedback on brands or even how they go with it in general. Lastly do Medicare or your private health insurer offer any form of rebate? 

Any other fishwrecked members feedback or advice would be welcomed

anybody need a hand to pull pots tomorrow ive done a seal in my boat it won't be ready till tue arvo I have two pots to check and bait up behind garden island they been out all week keen to check them.

There has been an email sent out to all the Volunteer Sea Rescue groups informing us of the intention of not advertising the coverage coverage of 27meg radios in their information for listeners. This is the start of getting all boaters to gradually turn to VHS radios. This at the moment is mainly in the metro area as most far northern and southern groups have only a few visiting vessels logging on with 27 meg

Here in Carnarvon we would be lucky to get 4-5 a year with the exception of Carnarfin fishing competition where there is a coupe of regulars from down south who refuse to take the hint that it is for their safety not to spend a few dollars, after all when they spend thousands on travel up here, accommodation , entry fees , bait and fuel and piss.

So when buying a new radio as a replacement or fitting out a boat for the first time please consider going the extra bit and putting a VHF in
Thank You

Got a phone call at 1930 from Gnaraloo station reporting 2 sixty year old windsurfers had failed to come in as planned at 1600. Rang Water Police for instructions and put our crews on standby, organised extra fuel and food plus relief crew to be taken up to the bay while waiting for the search plane to reach the area. Plan was to head off at 0300 and arrive off the bay at around first light

Got a call confirming our plans and the go ahead about 2100, informed all involved, notified work and went to bed. Woke up to a conversation on the VHF between water police and the dornier search plane that they had located the second bloke on a beach and were directing the shore party to him, the first bloke had got to shore around 2230. So it was back on the phone to confirm with water police, stand down crews, cancel fuel and food and try to get back to sleep.

Two bloody lucky people, there is no way I would like to be in the water at night up there and have to come over the reef anytime is scary.

wifey and me were at the bent st boat ramp today to walk our aussie bulldog. trying to pull in to the carpark an officious bloke in a straw hat is trying to wave us away with his fist clenched. backed out ended parking up on the grassy area . Straw hat had both ramps blocked off with a twin trailer semi heaps of vehicles were trying to pull in with there with boats behind them causing a log jam. I walked past him and said " how much longer is this pandemonium going to go on his response " whats your problem you old c*** " I hit the roof and gave him a spray explaining how the 6 week project was now into its 4th week and they hadn't finished the right hand side yet. response " doing our f***g best" me "well your best isn't very good and if you swear at me again I might be pushing 60 but will put you on your arse" about then the bent street brains trust all stood up clapping shouting its about time they were told . I got home rang the bloke at council that is in charge of the job and he was beside himself , seems he is going to give him a have a word with him about dealing with the public , and make sure they double the amount of blokes working on the job

 Just thought I'd post up some pics of the pond I made.  It took me a month from the first shovel of soil to how it is today!  First time I've ever done an inground pond! Sorry if it looks dodgy!! Haha

Digging the pond. Took me f#%king 2 full days to dig it!! Measurements are: 2.4m long x 1.2m wide x 60cm deep (deepest section).  Theres also a stepped section which is only 20cm deep.

Liner laid. Filled and testing for leaks:

Nearly finished.  The "decking" is made from raw pine pallets which I got from work. Will be painting them a grey slate colour to match the Patio.

Waterfall & filter. The filter is a large black tub which sits behind the waterfall.  Water is pumped from the pond using 2 pumps. Will be buying a larger pump to increase waterfall flow.

The shallow end. I'll be adding river pebbles to this section to add abit of contrast to the main pond area.

Inhabitants: 4 baby koi and 4 large goldfish.

Plants: Some duckweed and elephant ear plant in the filter box and a Blue money wort in the shallow area. Will be adding water lillies in the main section.

Well, thats it for now!  I'll say it again, its my first attempt so please disregard the dodgy look of the pond!! Haha!
