Hi guys

Been Hbday aqain and the boss gave me permission for a R&R combo.

Got the Diawa MM as above and would love to get the idea of the best reel to turn this into a slayer.

Rod code:mm582xhb-SIC.

Was thinking of a Torsa but I think it is overkill.

Will be for trolling and BB,

Guys this is a general info post and not pushing a company but i thought there ar a lot of LB members out there who are probably looking for a handsfree led torch. Have a look at the link below. I just purchased  the led model vb 2220 flash light and i have to say its the ducks nuts! Can clip onto jackets, hats etc and keeps your hands free. Lifetime warranty included.

i have no personal interest in the product or the company but thought i would share knowledge of a good product with members. There must be a distributor here in WA??

Hi all

After a lot of discussions with transport companies Xtreme Coolers is very pleased to announce to you all that Davis Road will be used to transport our cooler boxes up the North Coast. Davis have quoted a flat rate of $27.00 per box (GST included) which is a fantastic rate. Early next week (27.7.10) they will be taking ten boxes up to Port Hedland for the Port Hedland Game Fishing Club.

I am very pleased to finally be able to provide this service to the Northern regions. The rate past Port Hedland will be a bit higher. Interested people North of this will have a separate quote done.

If any other clubs and associations are interested in our products, please ring Dave to discuss bulk orders on 0403978583.

Spread the news and a big thanks to Davis Road for their support and service. If you need a service North, give John a call at Davis Road i have been very impressed with them.

I also look forward in getting up North and hopefully participating in a few comps.

Regards

Dave Allen

Is there much of diffrence between the gulp jerk shads and the stimulate jerk shads? I have been using the gulps for some time with a fair amount of success but am now thinking about trying the stimulate. are they any better or worse? Cheers

Hey Guys,
Has anyone travelled Air Asia with a fishing rod? Heading to Indo in a week and I'm considering taking a popping stick for some of the GT's I see cruising around one of the spots I stay. Rods aren't included on the list of sporting equipment carried by Air Asia, so I'm wondering if it will just count as normal baggage, or attract extra cost. The rod tube should only measure about 6 foot.
Cheers
Matt

What a total gyp, Paul Briggs has gone down 15 seconds into the 1st round with a punch that didn't even brush his hair and came up all wobbly when untouched, WTF happened there? Danny was dumb founded and spent the rest of the time apologising to the crowd. Was shown in our wet mess up here in Dampier, glad I didn't pay for a ticket or bought in on Fox.

Cheers
Dale

Okay i only just recently got my first iPhone and i will say i just love it. The thread regarding the mapping application is a great start but i thought i would ask what are peoples favourite application.

Mine would be Rider log, followed close by the obvous face book and internet conections.

So what yours. 

G'day guys

just a quick question to the port hedland crew. Where is the Port haven camp and wtf is it like. Just been offered some work up there and a heads up would be great. Unfortunately my contract in Leinster is no more so  would like to know what its like.

Cheers Mick 

Hey guys, off to Bali and just wondering if anyone has come across any decent tackle shops over there? If so any names and/or location would be great. Cheers

this may have been posted before and if it has let me know......i am sure there are many of you out there who have invented,adapted,fitted gadgets, accessories, items to your boats, tackle bags, chairs etc that are novel, made life easier etc....are you getting the picture?

Basically anything you would like to share with other FW members that may make their life easier. To start off with i have a simple boat rod holder extension consisting of 400mm x 40mm plastic tubing that fits neatly into the boat rod holders. My eggbeater reels now don't bang on the deck and chip the paint. If you are using overheads just simply pull the extension tubes out and stow away.

See below link for starters?

Gentle stroll down to the local tackle store to pick up some mulies for tomorrow and I am confronted by the devilishly handsome Lucky Tim gracing the cover of Snagged Magazine. Cracking cover shot mate with a Baldie on jig, just as well I didn't have the missus with me!

just had a couple roll there car & caravan out of the mine site the outcome wasnt  good were right on the north west hwy if your on holiday or goin on one up north take breaks & think about what your doing just because your on holiday dont let your brain go on one as well at least not whilst your driving

A heads up to all that watched the Exmouth navy pier cam. it is back up and running (for now) .It didnt shut down till 6pm tonight

to all the junior members hahahahahahahahahahah , back to school. Just a question for all of you. While on holidays how did you all go with the fishing. Think about it for a while and write up a story about your adventures using correct spelling and grammar .NOT text words. give it a go and you might be surprised at yourself

Reading a post about the poor fight with a Dhue made me think what is the best fighter pound for pound.

Came up with Chinaman, NW snapper with Blue line top off the pops and jacks.

Interested to know others thought as there are plenty of fish I havent caught (yet).

Only Demersals but I am not sure whether a GT is demersal or pelagic.

I have noticed a lot of new people have been coming on the site and don't bother filling in any details on themselves, where theyre from, rods, reels, interests, male or female, as sometimes you can't tell from their user name.  I have clicked on a few I was going to invite for a fish but they have no details.  And I would like to know a little about these people before I ask them on my boat .

Just got back from dinner to see West Coast has rolled the Bombers.

Honestly couldn't care either way but I can't recall the last time any forward (big or small) in the AFL kicked twelve goals.

Good effort from Lecras.

Went out for a fish at the Lady Joyce wreck today.Fished at the wreck for a couple of hours with very little return for effort, 2 reasonable silver bream 2 good and 3 just average yellow fin bream and a just size spanish flag with the usual 2 million undersize fish sent back.

We moved to a spot about 1.5 nm east and dropped the anchor and started fishing. We heard another boat logging on to sea rescue and his destination was the Joyce so peace and quiet for us. Bugger me dead  if this prick spotted us and came straight over asking how we were going. My reply was that we were doing well untill some wanker drove over and pinged our spot and told him this wasn't the Lady Joyce, to which he replied "I know".

Thats allright for him but  his boats name is MUDDY WATERS, I hope everyone watches out for the pinging prick.

Sorry no pics as forgot the camera and the fish were not speccy enough to take a shot of.

Anyone who has read my posts will realise i have the maechanical skills of Mother Teresa, so please exscuse my ignorance - BUT - i am looking at purchasing an attachment usually mounted on a tractor PTO - if i can fit it to a 4WD. The reason for this to do away with the need to either truck a tractor or road register it. I remember that years ago a Landrover? that had a PTO connection at the rear as standard perhaps. I also would need to rear mount the auger. Can anyone advise please?

Hi Crew,

As I posted with the introduction to the boatlight crew:

Have been looking at these winches for the boat .Am looking at the midi/ng 1400.Has anyone got one of these winches and if so what do you think of them .I think the bar crusher boat come fitted with them .

Sandtracks is going off thismorning, good banks and chunky swell.. Gonna be packed there all day i reckon!

Hi All

After hearing about the idiot in broome trying to have a swim with one of Butler's crocs I thought wouldnt it be a good laugh to post our almost Darwin award moments.

Mine certainly happened a long time back paddling out a live bait in a bucket to a channel in South Africa for my father. It was in a old canadian canoe and dad was using a Penn overhead. As you can guess the thing got a Birds nest at the wrong time and I got caught midthigh by the hook. It skipped along the skin and finally hooked about an inch below the then unused family jewels.

Needless to say I was paddling madly backward by that stage, with a mullet still attached to the hook slapping against my legs. Took some minor surgery to remove the hook but alls well!!!

Hope there is some other almost disaster stories good for a laugh.

After this blow we have just had, how long before the fishing gets back to what we would class as normal, not including the snapper as they love this stuff.im thinking 2 to 3 weeks or wouldnt it affect the fish out deeper much or at all

Got a phone call at 0620 on Saturday morning saying that the sea rescue boat was needed urgently to pull a large catamarn yacht off the rock wall in the Fascine. For the next five hours the crew on the boat was busy towing 3 yachts [one twice] and a cabin cruiser away from the rocks while the wind gusted to forty knots. Charlie, Les and Ian, the crew on the boat did an excellent job in trying conditions with limited room to manouvre between the other moored vessel. The first yacht had to be towed to the slipway later to be pulled from the water with numerous holes punched through the hull.

Just before dark I got another call from one of our home bases reporting a large jetty pile floating out off the prawning jetty, radio warnings were put out and along with another crew member I went out to find it and tow it in to the harbour for removal.

Finding the floating pile was easy as it was like glass it was so flat. Looking round to see if there was any more we found another one complete with cross beams next to the prawning jetty. There was major damage to the jetty with decking being lifted up from the force of the waves and sadly it may be the start of end for it.

To make thing worse got another call that there is another pile floating out from the one mile jetty with a couple more tangled up where a section of the jetty there has collapsed so its a trip out there first thing in the morning
