on thursday,    Have a great day lol Working

Hey folks, any of you work stainless steel NOR?  Have a SS bench with one small sink and one big sink and would like to know if the small one can be cut out and a bigger one welded in?  Work needs to be done on site as the bench can't be moved.

These are some of many shots taken of mate Colin[Cooda] at Gnaraloo years back.He was pestering me to get a shot of his reds that so he reckoned were that heavy you needed a wheelbarrow to carry the negatives[you didn't have digital cameras then].So one way to fix him was to cut the fish out of the frame--not a happy chappy when he finally got to see it.
But after all this time I will show one of the fish just after it came on board and ,yes,he did finally forgive me

For those who have been there,the shearing shed in the back ground was still the same in 91

Will be down in the big smoke for the Volunteer Marine Rescue conference from Thursday arvo through untll Sunday arvo and will be looking forward to the same good sunny weather we lay on for you southerners when you come visiting usThats not too much to ask for is it?

We have just recieved some  FW stickers in store .

Have 2 sets of blue large boat stickers and a heap of the smaller holographic ones, so if anyone is interested they can pop in and pick up some for their car or boat.

Hello Fishos. I'm off to Phuket shortly and was wondering if anybody knows if there are any decent tackle shops in Phuket and  whereabouts they might be located. Thanks Ray:)

Gday all, just thought I'd say hello as I am a new member here. been looking at the site for a while , and given that I love fishing, I thought I'd join. The minister of finance and I are living in Geraldton now and i am looking forward to doing as much fishing as i can. I haven't had the opportunity to do much in the last 4 years, given that I was living and working in the desert regions. Great site, keep up the good work.

Lake Alexander will be closed for two days while council workers try to remove dangerous large fish. (Google Maps)

Map: Darwin 0800
It is usually saltwater crocodiles that force the closure of popular swimming areas in the Northern Territory.

But Darwin City Council has decided to close one in the Top End capital because of the danger posed by a large fish which recently bit a woman on the foot.

The woman suffered minor lacerations as a result of the incident, which occurred at Lake Alexander in the Darwin suburb of East Point.

"Instances where large fish are a problem in the lake are very rare, but when they occur we must act to ensure the safety of the community, " the council's chief executive, Brendan Dowd, said.

The lake will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday this week so that council officers can remove the large fish.

Mr Dowd says traps and long lines will be set and all efforts will be made to capture the fish alive so they can be released into the ocean.

Heading to Bali in a couple of weeks and wanted to get some fishing gear whilst i was there, but dont know where they are located. Staying in Kuta.

I have been there once before and hunted around for days without success. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Anybody ever fished there, is it worth a charter as several boats can be chartered for the day for only around $500 so if a few of you go it works out real cheap.

Police have charged a Northern Territory man with drink-driving after he was allegedly found cruising along a footpath in a golf cart more than two kilometres from the nearest golf course.

The 28-year-old man, who owns the buggy, was pulled over at 1am by police in Katherine, about 300 kilometres south of Darwin.

Police say he recorded a blood alcohol level of 0.14 per cent.

He allegedly told police he thought getting home in his golf cart would be safer than driving his car .

The man has been charged with medium range drink-driving and driving an unregistered vehicle.

Hi we really like this forum and have decided to join.  We have a small tinny car topper and a 26ft glass boat named Bluebone.  We love to go out in Cockburn Sound squidding, fishing for whiting and flat head around Garden and Carnac, and get out in our boat as often as we can.  Last school hols we took the kids to Coral Bay and Exmouth.   They loved the Spangled Emperor at Coral Bay Beach.  Any way we hope to be able to add to this great site

its been 8 weeks without putting the boat in the water, i am suffering withdrawls, i would like to see a lot more fishy pics on here , i know the weather hasnt been great but some of you must have been out there and got a feed and some pics. share them around for us all to see. Cant wait to hit the water again but at the moment getting the business up and running is priority 1.So give me a look at some fish pics

Heard today that some unlucky person lost his catamaran off the trailer when he was half way across the causeway.Road was blocked for a few hours by all accounts and major damage was done to the boat.

Feel sorry for who ever it was and most of all hope it wasn't one of our members

Well guys just hit the boat show zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,yes darn right boaring,not even half the size off last year,in and out in 35 minutes.Not to many specials .,bring on the Mandurah show ,only one worth going to imo..

Ok everyone, the time has come, the house is packed and I am off to Melbourne this Saturday.  Thanks to all of you for your support, help, advice, tips, laughs and everything else that has enriched my experience of living here in Perth.

I will be visiting Perth fairly often as I have my in-laws here and lots of mates.   I will still check the web site now and again from Melbs and see what is happening.  Thanks again.

With so many posts being put up of late with the guys being outfished by their Wifes , Girlfriends or just a female friend they take fishing, How many of you guys have this happen to on a regular basis and do you just say you taught them well or is it beginners luck. Come on guys fess up . it would be interesting to see results. yeah i am one that gets outfished quite often by my wife but im the skipper , well thats my excuse 

In excellent weather when one should have been out fishing we set out to give an early welcome to Freya,who is paddling her kayak around OZ.Not having radio contact and only a message to expect a phonecall when she was an hour out.

After a bit of driving round we spotted her about 2 miles north of the jetty and escorted her into the main boat harbour.The first thing on her mind was a nice hot shower.Sea Rescue president Gary Hornhardt and his wife Jill have offered her a place to stay while she is here.
Monday is a planned shopping day to stock up on supplies and depending on the forecast she hope to be away at sun up on Tuesday heading further down into the bay.

Well i just got my holden rodeo lx 1998 serviced the other day to find that it is leaking oil from the front and rear crankshaft seals. I wasnt given a quote so I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the approximate value of getting it repaired.

cheers guys 

Heading out tomorrow out rotto way bottom bashing.Just wondering if any one went out today howd u go tell me their biting this weekend no current 

Just chasing some advice on beach launching, in particular at Cervantes.

I've fished up there with the father in law for the last 20+ years, on his boat, lanched with either his 4x4 or tractor.

Looking at possibly heading up during the September school holidays for a few days to a week and want to take and use my 5.10 Trailcraft Freestyle.

My towing vehicle is a Commodore.

I don't have access to a 4x4 and the in-laws tractor is out of action.

I know they have a sailing club, based up near the cray processing jetties - is there a ramp at this location ??

Alternatively was looking at launching with the dunnydoor, but thought best to use a swing down spare wheel (on boat trailer) with rope extension to the towbar.

I remember seeing these featured on a FWA video many moons ago..

Can anyone point me in the right direction to purchase one ?

By using this method with the dunnydoor, do you feel I should be able to pull the boat out of the drink without bogging....(maybe use track plates under the rear wheels)

Looking forward to the replies..

cheers,

Paul
