I need a potting offsider I have four pots a boat with a winch and a pot tipper , you will need a cray license (so we can put your license on my two spare pots) split the catch 50/50 need a hand launching and retrieving the boat as I have a gammy left hand , I am in the rocky area give me a call 0418935456

 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! 

 Has there been a better brain fade in sport then rossi kicking marquez off his bike, f...... extordinary, has to start from the back of the grid for what I think is the final race

Hi

Bought some of these "waterproof" connectors from an auto accesories store. The part number on the Narva packaging is 57522BL.

There are 2 components, the short one on the left which receives the female (short) connectors and the longer one on the right which receives the male connectors.

The short one has a red bit clipped on the front and the long bit has a red bit inserted in the body. From what I can see, it is impossible to insert the short into the long with the red bit in place, so I removed it and it seems to work OK. My question is does anyone know if they are both meant to be used ?

Cheers for any replies

Eric

Got a friend getting married 5 March 2016 and is in need of a limo. PM if you know of one available on that date. They need it 1.45 - 4pm then back at 11pm to take them to The Boat Hotel at Mindarie.

 Hi all I've just recently brought a 1980s 4.9 penguin phantom and I thought just to be safe put a bildge pump in because I'll head out wide but the problem is that it has a sealed deck so no hatches to get into the hull area anyone know how I would go about this or do I need one in hull area or top floor be fine thanks in advance 

Hi All,

Was wondering how many are going or are considering going on next month's Rottnest Convoy held by the BIAWA? I personally have done it several times and am going again. It's not that I don't know how to get to Rottnest, far from it I know how to do it very well. It is the enjoyable time had with other boaties spending a weekend with other mates or family doing what they love the most. Top it off with a very rewarding quiz night and a gastronomic dinner ($35 per head) usually at the Rottnest Lodge and you have probably the best $150 per boat spent on a weekend. Hope to see you all there on the weekend of 7-8th November

 Got a spa and need a heater for it that runs off 10amp, any ideas from people in the know please?

It has a Onga pump with no heater fitted.

Anyone know of a commercial cryovac machine that works? I used an orved today (supposedly top of range for the kitchen use) but cooked it after the 4th sheep out of 7! it was new, however I didn't expect t to pack it in that soon!

Meat tore when I punched/pulled skin off leg in pic :/

bloody joke that work happening at bent st ramp , father , son amateur operation making things worse than they were , have a big sign on the fence saying you need safety boots, helmet , gloves ,safety glasses , dust mask hearing protection , but they don't have any . Bloke doing the job told me it would take six weeks like fuck it will , rocky council need rooting for allowing this work to happen during the start of the cray season and the ramp is chockers

 Call me a cynic but I find it utterly amazing not a whisper has been heard of the Daniel chick farce since the granny. The media, the AFL all deafly silent wow! 

 Breaking news: No names being mentioned, but a hawk player is being investigated for a sexual offence.

anyone on the site got a 6.6 mtr trailcraft at allboats for sale with a 200 yamaha motor for sale looking at some background info on the boat

Thanks Colin

Today is the site's creator's birthday

Happy birthday Ads, hope you have a great day

 My new boat picking up some time soon. looking forward to filling it with crays. 

 Any of you guys who do camping trips and use a small petrol generator/household chest freezer

What size genny do you use and how does it cope?

 Just a reminder to stay safe out there lads.

Without any further info it's hard to understand their line of thought to swim over 1km to shore at 3am instead of raising the alarm. Presumably the radio was underwater but why not activate the EPIRB and sit tight on the upturned hull of the boat with para flares ready? I'm not dissing the guys and am glad they got back safe. Just trying to learn from the experience in the off chance I ever find myself in the same situation.

Did a run up to Exmouth to catch up with son Jeff [Deepwater] and his family, left Carnarvon on Thursday and hit the water down the bottom of the Gulf after he knocked off work at the airport around 1100 Friday morning to give the prawns a shot. After much running around and trial tosses with the cast net we finally found a patch of good size banana prawns, finishing up with about 10 litres.

Did a run out to Jeff's goldband spot on the Saturday morning and found things a bit quiet with only a few smaller fish playing the game, we were about to move when along comes a drop in pinger, started his drift about 30 metres behind us so gave him a not so gentle reminder of what I thought of him and his actions before heading well south to try for a red emperor or two.

Travelled some 8-9nm trolling for about half the distance and losing the hook up of a small marlin we arrived at a spot and chatted with one of Jeff's mates and watched his missus pull up a monster Robinson sea bream so drove on another mile or so and dropped the lines over the side. Jeff hooked up straight away and Dazza and I a minute later. Jeff finished up with the red emperor and we both got shark on what we think were reds about the same size. Time to move so headed another mile further south for a good tomato cod, spangly and a couple of honeycomb cod.

Looking at the time we decided it was time to head back to Tantas at a troll as Dazza had to get back to Tom Price that arvo so out go the lures. Got to a mile south of the leads when we get a phone call from home saying the road south is closed due to a truck roll over so its time to fill the quota and no rush.

Head out to another goldy spot , first drop and Dazza pulls in a double header and Jeff follows suit a 3 minutes later. I get a single, Dazza scores a NW blowie and Jeff comes up with our limit for goldies.

Out go the lures yet again, the tail gets snipped off one by a wahoo with no hook up and we spend half an hour circling massive bait schools getting monstered by small striped tuna with no result except for missing the hook up of a big Spaniard.

All up a great day, lot of travelling in excellent conditions and one fish short of our limit but who's complaining.

apparently according to the 60 minutes 23 year old shark expert she says tiger sharks are harmless and there are no recorded attacks by them , here to disagree , a pearl diver in broome 30 years ago was taken by a tiger shark, shot a 12foot tiger shark with a smokie about 27 years ago when it charged me at onslow all I can say is it was a very scary moment I was lucky I knew it was there rather than it just coming at me out or the blue

took the old girl for a gallop today (1938 rudge) pulled in at bent street and the bent street brains trust (they settle the worlds problems every morning when they get together) came over for a closer look , i bloke in his 80s said i had 1 1 of those , another part of the bent st brains trust about 85 said " i had 1 too heaps of crap mine died on the way to Carnarvon in 1957
cranky old buggers but i love each 1 of them see them every morning when i walk my dog

 It's Bathurst day today, bring on the beers. No more chaz lostert, I hope either lowndes, gizzy or reynolds get the win.

 Australia looking pretty good after beating Wales 15-6. Get some of their injuries sorted and they will go into the quarter finals pretty strong, Scotland on the 18th.

On my third trip to Victoria, I finally managed to get my first sambar deer on the deck, two in fact.

The first was one was a malform stag, the second one was an absolute cracker, approximately 27" x 27".

Here's a few pics.

If you launch at Cockburn and fish at Rotto (say) when the ban is in for Cockburn but the demersal ban hasn't started and you catch a couple of pinkies can you bring them back through the sound to retrieve at Cockburn ? if you can, how do fisheries know that the fish was not caught in Cockburn ?

a few year back the swan was restocked with prawn frie would it be worth a old time drag net session, come those hot summer evenings , and if you get a few cobbler as a by catch do they still have to be released

half of the ramp will be closed for six weeks while the ramp is repaired 3 weeks 1 side another the 3 the other side the light at the end of the ramp has only been out for 2 years wonder if they will fix that too

anyone insisted on hooking up the boat when test driving a new fourby ?

im finding dealers not willing ( perhaps insurance ) , then again perhaps business is booming....and they are too lazy

 At the islands for the weekend with 4 of the kids
These 2 girls look like butter wouldnt melt...

Young Mac nodded off early and...

We all had a good laugh, until I spotted my reflection

Not happy Jan 
Incidentally, the sharks are shocking even in the shallows this time.
Came back today, but the forecast 16-18 knots became 30 plus as we were about to leave at 9.
Spoke to a mate who has a crayboat and was heading back but it was the kids who couldnt be bothered waiting, "lets just go Dad, we've had worse before"
and most of the squalls had passed
So hammer down, a bit of surfing in the big swell and home 10 minutes later than we would have taken.

 Can anyone point me in the direction of the bearing sizes for a Daiwa Saltist 40HA?

 Wow out at the islands and listened to the end of the NRL GF, that had all and more of the drama that a grand final needs!!

even if you dont follow it, check it out.

Equalised  at full time, missed the kick to win then won in overtime by a team that has never had a flag and legend created
