Well its been a few weeks, but the graphic are all done and the boat now has a name ,

Most of you would have seen my other thread on a possible career.

Reasonable physical fitness is one of the requirements.

And I need money.

So, last night, I took the opportunity to be a 'Chicken Chaser' at Mount Barker Free Range Chickens.

You have to catch the chickens, pickem up, dump them in crate (6 per crate) then stack the creates on a pallet - 4 piles of crates per pallot, 5 crates per pile - or 20 crates per pallot.

Between THREE of us we did 55 pallets - thats 55 x 20 x6 = 6,600 f#$@(*! chickens!

I'M STUFFED!  

I know, nothing to do with fishing, but if I die of exhaustion, I won't be doin any more fishing That's my excuse!

More chooky babes tonight! 

Have decided to name the tub and I need a name.

First choice as going to be Mahi Mahi, but that's taken ... U#@eic5p!

Since I like chasing mahi at the FADs, I am thinking along the lines of "Far Out", "Out There" or "Out Deep", but open to suggestions! 

Have heard there are some really good free internet security available???

Know there are a few computer orrientated(geeks) on the site that may be able to help me out!!!

I have Norton at the moment(well not!!! it just told me I'm unprotected)(thats what got me 2 kids) and have heard theres better free stuff!!!!

Any help would be great TAAA!!!!!

Well after years of planning, my wife and I finally made out trip to Egypt recently.
I have got to say that it was an even better trip than I had hoped for.
Egypt is a fantastic place. The people were great. Really helpful and friendly. The scenery was incredible. It is amazing to see how such an advanced civilisation was really created around a very thin strip of land that sits on both sides of the Nile River.
And as for Cairo. It is a crazy city, but I would go there again tomorrow. 15 million people, 5 million cars, 24 hours a day traffic jams, but it has an incredible buzz.
It is amazing to see how close the Great Pyramids at Giza and the Sphinx is to the city. The Sphinx is a lot smaller than you would picture, it is roughly the size of a bus.
The trip up the Nile on a cruise boat was a great experience, as was the visit to the temples and tombs at Aswan and Luxor. The artwork in the tombs was incredible and some of the carvings and paintings are so well preserved it looks like it was only done recently. There are plenty of yummy mummys in Egypt. The young egyptian ladies are stunning. Sorry, but customs (my wife) wouldn't let me bring you one back.
Matt (Mako).  Unfortunately you cant' take cameras into the mummy sections at the Egyptian Museum.
Below are just a few of the hundreds of pics I took. I hope you don't mind me posting them, as I know they are not fishing related, but I thought some of you may be interested.
All the best, Colin Hay

(yeah, yeah, it'll confirm once and for all that I'm stark raving bonkers LOL) 

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can give advice on an issue we are currently having with a 25HP johnson motor. The motor starts fine  and runs perfectly on plain for about 3 or 4  hundred metres and then starts to kick and the motor loses all power. U can then turn the motor off and start immediately and then your off again, same issue about 300m down the track. When I say kick the motor seems to cavitate back and forth and you are forced back down to an idle!!

 We seem to think that a build up of air or petrol flow may be an issue. Nothing stands out!!

 Any help will be appreciated!!

P.S Spark plugs have been replaced and the topic of water in fuel has been discussed however would have thought the motor would run like $##@ from word go!!

Has anyone used one of these?
I'm looking for a reel to fish PE5, mostly for jigging, but also possibly live baiting(clicker) and fishing soft plastics deep. It holds about 300m of PE5 which will be enough for what I want to use it for.

went for a surf dismorning at leighton and had two unexpected visitors pop in for a look. a massive humpback and her calf. the calf was no more than 7m but the mum was massive, came within 30m of the shore and was an awsome sight to be surfing with them. originally i thought ohh crap its gonna get beached but a whole croud of guys surounded the beach side of it and after a couple of minutes they swam off. just wished i had my cammera

I took a drive up to Lancelin yesterday and stopped into all the towns along the coast on the way up to see if it looked "fishy".

Finally got to see  the mouth of the Moore River and Ledge Point.

Walking along the beach with the kids at Lano, I was suprised to see so many squid skeletons.  There were more there then any of the other beaches.  The place was covered in them and I can only imagine that the squid fishing from the small jetty here must be great! Anyone try squidding there?

Anyone try squidding at Two Rocks? 

How is the land based fishing at any of these areas? 

what fantastic service from waterworld in wangara, anybody with a boat north of the river should give these guys a go. they are relatively new to wangara and specialise in evinrude motors especialy the etec. they have the xd100 oil for sale at $45.00 which is $20.00 dollars cheaper than anywhere else. i found the guys to be extremely helpfull in sorting out a programing problem i had with my new etec, that had the dealer that originaly fitted it completely stumped. they even offered to sell my old boat for me and gave me a couple of tickets to the boat show. outstanding service  they can be contacted on 93099384  or visited at 12 bombadier rd wangara

the trip on the boat has been cancelled so we have decided to go to the north mole in the morning not too early as my dad wont get up that early lol i will be mostly chucking soft plastics around and my dad and bro will be using bait now what bait would go down there good ?

 cheers

Hi all just a little story that happend to my brother on monday night,he parks his boat in a vacant block right next to his driveway he awoke tuesday morning to find that some @hole had stolen the bottom half of his motor and gearbox nice neat job.Just goes to show nothing is safe...

Who is going down for a look over the weekend?

Im thinking of going sunday, probably just to bells. Apparently emu falls is good viewing but im not sure i want to travel that far so early on a sunday!

I may be treading on thin ice here seeing as some people didnt like my hijacking of rodrats account re the big pink snapper post but...I would realy like to know how people stand regarding the filling of the freezer, or taking all they can just because it's legal as so many posts have said "its within the rules so no laws broken". Given that we are about to be faced with closures and reduced bag limits because according to our illustrious government body fisheries wa the fish stocks are in decline.
so is it really ok to take the existing bag limits or to fish enough to make sure you have enough fish to see you over a 3 month ban. my take on this is if we all had fished more responsibly in the past and not taken our bag limits of whatever fish or whatever the limits we wouldnt be in this situation we find ourselves in now...or i could be wrong and I include the commercial sector in this too. does anybody think back and admit to themselves yes we did take all we could cos it was legal but in hindsite maybe we shouldnt have. I know we all have our opinions and are allowed to have them albeit with a bit of flak from others from time to time, but do we realy beleive if it's legal at the time then it's ok. So what is your view is it ok just cos its legal or is it irresponsible from your point of view. I'm posting this because I realy would like to know how people feel as i do get conflicting impressions from people.
Tis isn't a dig at anybody in particular I'm trying to find what people think.

Hi All

Firstly i want to make it clear that this is not
a post to start a bitching session LOL.

I was thinking about the situation that happened to the big pinky
post when my comments were hijacked.

It seems that when ever someone posts a comment that isnt the opinion of most people that they get jumped on and looked down upon.

A opinion is someones thoughts on the matter and i dont think that they should be harshly jugde on it.

Am i the only one who thinks this or am i paranoid?

Thanks

Sandy has impoved all our pic and i found the differents outstanding  so thought i would share them again with you . All it has done is take the glear away so you now see then as we saw them underwater
