Hi All,

Just looking for different types of smokers and the pro's and con's relating to each.

Can you believe this. Read this link and wonder why the Aus government, is sitting back twiddling their thumbs!!

Hi All, greetings for 2010. I like My land based Fishing as much from a Boat but at the moment I'm trying to get a set wheels for My Rodeo 2004 4x4 fishing wagon. Does anyone out there know if the rims of a Ford Ranger will adapt to Rodeo's without fowling on anything,eg. brake calipers / rear brake drums etc. Any feedback on what will fit  would be appreciated, regards Willy

Probably putting the mocka on them, anyone reckon the aussies are in with a chance in the test?  Starting to look like it, but how much ahead can they get....

goen to spot x off cape nat tommorro goen for a 40 kg snapper and some of them 15 lb king george whiting and 10 lb sandies will keep u all posted

ANyone going out from mindarie toomorrow wind apprently low in the am but picks up quick ... or is thursday a better day ?

Who would anyone recommend to build high quality custom sticks here in WA?

Bought 1 of these shirts and it arrived today, real impressed with the quality. Stongly recommend to anyone looking for some decent sun protection that that wont make you sweat out half your body weight.

Hey

Is there any tackle stores anywhere near Rockingham that stock Bozo lures and jigs?
Seen some good results with them so would like to have a look at some.

Cheers

Next month sees the Kalbarri classic being fished over the 26th 27th and 28th of Feb.

Possibly if all goes well there will be 3 on my boat fishing.

Who else is planning on heading up and whats the plans for fishing.

I like the idea of heading up during the comp as there should be a few boats up there for safety reasons, never been there before, and will give an idea of areas to fish. though people can feel free to pm me extra info on the side

Had a phone call from Shark Bay police informing us/Carnarvon Sea Rescue to be on the look out for a 21foot Southwind Centre console that broke its moorings on new years eve and hasn't been seen since.

With a bit of luck someone may spot it but it seems someone's xmas present could't wait for the wind to drop and went fishing on its own.
You can feel for the owner when he came down to inspect it and found it gone

I stumbled across this link while looking for something else, looks like they do good work though. Might be worth a look if your into this sort of thing

heard today on the radio about 3 divers rescued out near rotto after being swept away from their boat by a strong current. luckily the police boat just happened to be in the right place at the right time. just goes to show how dangerous it can be out there for either experienced or new divers

After a less than relaxing holiday to busselton this year we're lookin to head somewhere different next year. Gotta get away from the rest of the family that goes down that way every year! Thinking of Exxy for 2 week over christmas. I know it'll be hotter up that way but still, anyone give some feedback on the idea? Who's been up there this christmas? Also any reccomendations of accomodation for 2 adults and 2 children (2 bedroom)? Missus is thinking of the Exmouth Ningaloo Caravan Resort as we stayed up there a few years ago and she loved the pool.

Will be lookin to possibly hire a boat up there too unless theres anyone that wants to take me out! (Adam?!?! :)

Gotta make plans pretty soon as christmas accom seems to get booked up the year in advance! Give us some time to save too!

Thanks for any help!!!

You all take care over the next 5 weeks or so

I will be heading off to sunny Queensland tomorrow for a couple of weeks and a chance to fish Lake Awoonga again for some of those impoundment bazzas before heading off to New caledonia for some ULTRA HEAVY popping with Jay and Glenn before the wife joins me for another week of Chillaxin by the sea......

Ill check in when i can and let you all know how we are going

cheers

Just had a few thoughts of approaching a boating insurance company to sponsor/advertise on fishwrecked.  I know the main companies out there, but who do you get your insurance through and have you had any good/bad experiences with them?

Cheers,

Adam

G'day guys

Going for a drug, alcohol and physical exam tomorrow. Just a question though. Dont have a problem with the drug and physical, but what about alcohol. Just got back from Exxy and Coral Bay and I drank at least 4 times my weight in beer. I mean a 9.30am start was a late start. I was going to head down to the pub for a couple of frosties with some of the boys but unsure of the ramifications. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers Mick

Hello again guys,
yeah we did make it over to the west about 8 months ago & it took us quite a while to get the house & gardens sorted. 20ft x 10 above ground vegie plot ( now shaded) & picked up a lot of spoilt hay to plant pumkins, zuchs,eggplants etc. Now we are waiting for the back patio to be built & solarhart on the shed roof.
Love peppie & forrest beach although the herring are not easy late arvos.
Still its great to have a swim before berleying up. Last night Jo caught a nice flattie for dinner so we were self suff. with home grown broad beans, zuchs,carrots,& mini capsicums + home brewed beer & lambrusca red.
catchalater!

went fishing about a km north of pinnaroo point and caught some whiting and some herring but i had something bigger on the line it basically pulled alot then ran but then let go what does every one think it was because i have no clue

Hi all,

I'm moving to geraldton from tassie at the end of the month, can anyone fill me in on fishing options around there, I'll be landbased and yakkin (once the stuff arrives).

cheers

Hi All,



Was wondering if there are any landscapers here that can give me some advice?



I've ripped up some lawn and was going to put rainbow stone down instead.  However, to avoid weeds growing through I was going to put weedmat down though I was wondering if there's something else I could put under the weedmat for extra protection from weed growth?



Reason being I've put some weedmat down in other areas of the garden and still get small weeds coming through were there are holes in the mat.



I won't be planting any plants in this area so it doesn't matter what goes into the soil...



cheers

For any of you guys coming to Exxy, bring the suncream in bucket loads, my god its hot at the moment.  Heading for a fish tomorrow as I've just got to get off land and onto or into the water!

Nearing 50 degrees and its fully steaming!  Will let you know how we go tomorrow.

Mate sent us these from broome. poor bastards. good to see some people pretending to lend a hand. Theres not much you can offer when it hits the fan like that.

Headed out this morning ,wind was up and see was choppy ,we headed out to a new area and started sounding around ,we picked up a small edge and some good schools of fish ,in 13m of water .After setting the anchor we were on our way down ,as I hit the bottom and looked back Jesse was still on the surface ,so back to the top ,once on the surface Jesse informed me he was having trouble with his ears ,and was going to sit this one out ,well done to him for picking up the signs ,and not pushing to deep .So back to the bottom we were welcomed by a school of sambos and yellow tail kings some good size . On the sounder this edge was a lot like any other but ,once on the bottom It was one like I have never dived before ,small caves and ledges ,but all different somehow. Then a dhuie swam out to take a look at the new guys ,then another ,there was some nice sized crays ,the whole time I was thinking of Jesse sitting on the boat ,anyway we were down to 100bar and headed back to the anchor, we swam a total of 100m on this edge and saw 6 dhuies some size some under ,this edge runs for miles .next time I will take the camera and film the dhuies. the inside reefs are holding a lot of small dhuies which is a great thing to see .I did at one stage take the safety of the gun and line up a nice dhu but alas could not pull the trigger .

Thinking of a night fish next week (either Mandurah or out from Cockburn). Thinking of Wednesday night. Looking for a boat to partner up with as it would be safer. I have 21 footer with 3 year old E-tec on it. Would prefer someone with a reliable tub please. Fishing in the 30's+.

just curious as to how to eliminate a flat spot in a 350 holly carby sitting on a 350 chev. we have always had the prob and talking about it on the way home from our shop, also what is the best product you can add to your fuel to clean out the fuel system including the jets and carby (if any) or are we better off pulling the carby apart and giving it a good clean that way but i would have to pay someone to do that job. any advice on either prob would be greatful........... by the way the motor is in the boat not the car

I have 18' 6" Swift Craft fibreglass boat that has Evinrude 85hp motor which needs replacing.

Although the boat is 30 years old but is in great condition and is worth repowering.

We are unsure what motor to put on it.

I'm are looking at a Evinrude Etec 115hp but are open to suggestions.

On dealer has suggested a 90hp Mercury Optimax. 

Any suggestions welcome
