Hi All,

There is a possibility that I may end up working on a job in Pt Hedland - based in Perth with regular visits up there.  What is Pt Hedland like and what is the fishing like up there? 

Thanks

More than a dozen homes were evacuated at Redcliffe north of Brisbane this afternoon while the Army bomb squad dealt with a hand grenade.

It is believed a man found the grenade in a fishing net on his trawler last night and took it home.

It was apparently British-made and dated from World War II.

Experts were called to Scarborough and nearby streets were cordoned off.

The grenade was taken away to be detonated.

I see that the scientists are now classifying four middies of beer or three glasses of wine as binge drinking. What will happne to long lunches, mor Adam's visits to the Pottie?

Hi All

While there is a few fishery topics around at the moment i thought i would ask a question or two.
What powers do the officers have? I have never been checked so i dont know.
What rights do u as a boatie have? Can you refuse them to look at your catch or come onto your boat?
Always wondered. Any body know?

Thanks

Fellow forum members, as this crappy winter weather descends upon us I have broken out one of my past loves and dusted off my trusty GTAR. Just wondering if there are any semi retired/current drummers out there who would be keen to get together and make some noise/jam on some old tunes/write some new ones?? I am NOR but don't really care about travelling?

1. if your choking on an ice cube,simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat.presto.the blockage will instantly remove itself.

2. avoid cuttiyourself when slicing veges by getting someone else to hold them while you chop.

3. avoid arguments with females about lifting the toilet seat ,use the sink.

4. for high blood pressure sufferers simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minuits,thus reducing the pressureon your veins ,remember to use a timer.

5. a mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling back over and going back to sleep when you hit the snooze button.

6. if you have a bad cough ,take a large dose of laxatives.then youl be afraid to cough.

7. you only need two tools in life.w d 40 and duct taoe.if it doesnt move and should,use the w d 40.if it shouldnt move and it does, use the duct tape.

8. remember everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

9. if you cant fix it with a hammer,youve got an electrical problem.

daily thought. some people are like slinkees, not realy good for anything,but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

had to look twice, the old bugga has sneaked online while away the first day, he misses us all that much.

Ok guys and girls, if I don't sell the two Sealine SLDs, I'm going to put them on EBAY. I've never used EBAY before, any tips, suggestions, things to watch out for? What's the deal with payment? Payment first then delivery or what?

Thanks for any assistance!

Cheers

Recived these today thought would share a laugh or two with you all i

There I was on my way to work ... getting into a fight was the
furtherest thing from my mind ... wasn't even on the horizon ... I was in a
great mood ... and then ... I rear-ended a car.
So there we are alongside the road and slowly the driver gets out of
the car .. (and you know how you just-get-so-stressed and life-stuff seems to get funny)?
Yeah, well, I could NOT believe it ... he was a DWARF!
He storms over to my car, looks up at me and says, "I AM NOT HAPPY!"
So, I look down at him and say, "Well, which one are you then?"
...and that's when the fight started...

Well with the generosity of the guys again for us fishwrecked members who's going down tomorrow night for a chat and a bargain?

i will be there though more to catch up with a few guys but might be able to grab a few things if they bend my arms enough

gday guys the part time possition has now been filled but we are still looking for a full time person to work in the tackle industry. so if you are keen please send through a pm
cheers brenz

There's been a lot of talk and desire to groom Jessie's hair. So I thought I'd make a very serious claim as to my indisputable abilities in that area by giving you a pic of my beautiful cat that I've just finished grooming.

I'm sure you'll agree that my skill has now been demonstrated as beyond dispute:

hey as some people know im a kid that loves fishing but no one else in the family likes it and i want to go fishing with the guys on this site but i have only met SPESS in real life and i was wondering if any one would like to catch up to fish and if i could meet up and get to know some people i would like to try on a boat coz i have only been on a boat once and that was a one off and my dad could come and to see this great sport ( or hobby) so my dad could get a liking to fishing 

cheers p.s sorry bout the long post

just wondering if anyone knows anything about the devil cat boats???? pro's and cons....

cheers Jes

 GO THE BLUE OVAL

Well, with all you guys contemplating that golf game, I thought I'd start this thread and kick (tee?) it off with my golfing 'experience'...

Many years ago (too many!), in my last years as a Teenager, I decided to get into golfing. So, armed with my life's savings, I travelled down to K-Mart and shelved out a massive $60.00 on a buggy, bag and club set. Yup, no expenses spared. Top quality stuff - NOT! My 'set' consisted of a 2 wood, a 2, 5,7 and 9 iron and a putter. 

With my awesome set in hand, one of my brothers and I teamed up against two other friends who were also brothers - Paul (the elder) and Keith. We jumped into Paul's freshly hand pained burn orange Morris and headed off to the 'Lakes' course. 

I'd spent the previous 2 weeks slamming balls into my Mother's prized spare blankets, managing to put a hole or two in a couple, nearly taking out the neighbour's dog in the process. Dog and Mum were not impressed!

Paul was an amiable chap, but Keith was the sort that was very negative, condescending, sceptical and a real winger.   

We were on the 'front 9'. The whole was a par 5 and Keith had tee's off first and was about 100 yards or so down and on the left of the fairway. It was my turn to tee off. I yelled 'four' in Keith's direction. His response was to yell back something all the lines 'Ha! You'll never get this far' and stood out in front of his buggy. He was so wrong! A lucky connection saw my ball travel straight down the fairway, then hook left, making for Keith like a well controlled exercet missile. WHACKO! The ball, travelling at full speed, hit Keith smack in the left kneecap. He dropped like a stone, holding his knee cap and yelling all sorts of profanities. Call us cruel, but all we could do was laugh. 'Colin did warn you, you idiot' said Paul as we approached.

At least Keith now had something proper to winge about, as we played on through the first 9 and on to the back 9.

It was my turn to tee of on a par 3 and, as I carefully placed the ball on my tee, Keith blurted 'hang on, he's bloody dangerous, I'm standing well behind this time. Now, what I'm about to tell you is the absolute truth, though the chances of it happening are amazing, to say the least.

I teed off, my ball zoomed down the fairway, hooked to the left, slammed into a tree and richocheyed straight back, missing myself, paul and my brother bryan - but, you guessed it - slamming into Keith's left knee cap!

Keith's scream of rage and agony was impressive to say the least. Us three just collapsed on the ground, crying with laughter!

For some reason, Keith didn't come to any more golf excursions after that.

If anyone is looking at buying a digital SLR at the moment it might be worth taking a look at a shop in Mt Hawthorn. They have a pretty good special on Cannon eos. PM me if you want some more info or have a look in today's West.
All the best, Colin Hay

Not a fishing related post, just some scenery from Exmouth. Black footed rock wallabies and Yardie creek being very full and uncrossable on medium tide.

Cheers,

Adam

Not ignoring anyones pm's just busy moving house, I'll be back on line by monday hopefully.

Moving from Mt. Lawley to Warnbro to be closer to the water and fishing, living in a 5th floor flat in the city sucks  so looking forward to getting back to normal.

Catch ya's in a coupla days.

Hooroo, Al. 

Looks like the Govt is planning to dump its sewer into the ocean at Alkimos

$360million water project for Perth’s northern suburbs

A major new wastewater infrastructure project is set to underpin the future development of Perth’s burgeoning northern corridor.
Premier Alan Carpenter and Water Resources Minister John Kobelke today launched the $360million project in the soon-to-be-created suburb of Alkimos.
The Alkimos Wastewater Treatment Plant, associated ocean outlet and sewer mains, are scheduled for completion by 2010.
The Premier and Minister turned the first sod of soil to mark the start of earthworks for the plant, which will see up to three million cubic metres of soil - enough to fill Subiaco Oval to the height of the goal posts 16 times - cleared over the next eight months.
“The Alkimos Wastewater Treatment Plant will be the next major wastewater treatment facility for Perth,” Mr Carpenter said.
“It will join Woodman Point, Beenyup and Subiaco wastewater treatment plants, which currently treat about 80 per cent of Perth’s wastewater and are undergoing major upgrades.
“The Alkimos area is expected to become a significant regional centre with a population predicted to reach about 150,000 by 2030.
“Extensive infrastructure is needed to support this growth and the Water Corporation has an important role to provide first-class wastewater and water services.”
Work is also well advanced on tunnelling and open-trench construction to extend the Quinns main sewer a distance of 5km, which will link it to the Alkimos Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Plans are being prepared to bring the main sewer south from Yanchep and Two Rocks to the new wastewater treatment plant.
Mr Kobelke said the plant would have an ultimate capacity of 150 megalitres of wastewater a day and would use advanced secondary treatment technology.
“The Alkimos Wastewater Treatment Plant will be located within land owned by the Water Corporation that completely contains the odour buffer,” Mr Kobelke said.
“The land within the buffer has the potential to become a valuable community asset that accommodates a variety of important social and environmental features.”
Mindarie MLA John Quigley welcomed the start of construction work on the new treatment plant.
“The Alkimos Wastewater Treatment Plant is a significant infrastructure investment that will help sustain the future development of the northern suburbs,” Mr Quigley said.
The wastewater treatment plant earthworks and the Quinns main sewer extension are being undertaken by the Alkimos Water Alliance, where the Water Corporation is working in partnership with Brookfield Multiplex, Macmahon Contractors and Zueblin Australia.
“The State Government is committed to building better infrastructure for Western Australia’s future,” the Premier said.

The Department of Fisheries will patrol Albany waters this morning following two sightings of a large shark cruising off Emu Point late yesterday.

The two independent sightings happened around 5pm and follow the May 10 mauling by a white pointer of Albany school teacher Jason Cull off Middleton Beach.

Department of Fisheries’ Regional Manager Phil Shaw said a fisherman, as well as a person on a nearby beach, had made separate calls to police yesterday to say they were certain they had seen a shark off Emu Point and adjacent to Griffiths Streets, in the Middleton Beach area.

“The fact that two people saw something, and that the fisherman told police he was in a 12 foot dinghy and he thought the white shark he saw was at least as long as his vessel, has raised my concern,” Mr Shaw said.

“I have advised the local council of the new sightings, but I want to be sure that anyone venturing into the water around the Middleton Beach area, or at any other local beach over the rest of this long weekend is very cautious.

“As we saw in the days after the attack, last month, several sharks had been reported off Albany’s beaches, but these new sightings are the first since the beaches between Emu Point and Middleton Beach were re-opened.”

Mr Shaw said the Department of Fisheries would have a patrol boat out on the bay area from early this morning; however, people also had to be conscious of their own safety.

“We will patrol the local waters to see if we can sight any sharks,” he said.

“Nevertheless, I would again like to draw attention to our shark safety tips and also ask if anyone who sights a shark off Albany’s beaches can call the Water Police on 9442 8600.”

Mr Shaw said Fisheries monitoring of local waters would be conducted as required and new sightings would be investigated as they normally were under WA’s Shark Incident Emergency Response Plan.

“One thing that really helps is for people, if they do see a shark, to call the Water Police direct on 9442 8600,” he said.

“From there, the Water Police activate the Response Plan, advise the appropriate local authorities and help get any warnings out to the community in a prompt an efficient manner.”

Mr Cull survived the May 10 shark attack but required surgery to repair damage to his legs.

He had been swimming around 80 metres off Middleton Beach when he was attacked by a four-metre white pointer.

The shark dragged him under the water and only let go of his legs when he poked it in the eye.

Up to three white pointers continued to menace Albany beachgoers for the next 10 days before the beaches were finally reopened on May 20.

There have been several shark sightings in the area since that time.

Scientists where baffled as to why a female white pointer refused to leave the simming area for 10 days before finally heading back out to sea.

Hope to get the inside story when my wife gets home tonight (she works at DPI  in Albany)
