had my mate modifiy my sarca as the tip of it kept coiling over , betting it wont coil over now

 Well i needed to put a new guide on one of my rods, but needed to keep it rotating while the resin dried. Too tight to spend money on a proper setup, so pinched a few of the sons technical leggos....worked perfectly.

 the tip of my sarca has been coilng over , i got my mate from dongra (doris ) to have a look he is old school blacksmith / boily / welder  this is the mod he came up with 

 After a.... Mishap my beloved Hilux looks like she's done n dusted...

Wanting another one, if anyone has one or knows someone that might be selling a good ute feel free to let me know...

 Hi guys

Where does everyone get there casings from for there ding snags I made them last year for the first time and at the time I couldn' find any 30mm collagen casings locally? 

And I know there a pretty secret recipe but how much wine do ppl put in per 10kg I did a few different batches last year and I didn't really make any that were great but this had alot to do with them drying to fast as it was left to late in the year and having smaller casings. I was worries they would be to wet if i added to Mich wine. 

If you have a recipe you would like to share It would be Much appreciated I know these take years to refine so I understand if you don' want to share but would love some tips.

Thanks

Rod

Not fishing related.

We have started building a new home in Perth and are tossing up whether to install solar panels now or waiting until battery storage improves. We use most of our electricity at night because the 2 kids are at school and the wife and I both work.

Obviously without doing the exact maths on KW usage its not easy to get a definitive answer, but, is solar currently worthwhile in regards to paying for itself over a reasonable period of time.

With any technology I appreciate that there is alwasy something new coming out, but is the storage issue the main stumbling block at the moment?

you gotta go into a coolroom to warm up. 

at work this morning freezing my you know whats off and at 7 am it was still only 1 degree . yeah i know there is many colder places around but when your not used to it it sux

I just bought a 1969 quintrex special 12 foot with a 2002 20 hp yamaha 2 stroke on it. The boat has been restored pretty well and the engine starts first pull! 

I work away and have limited time to get out on the water so i dont really have the luxury of waiting for that perfect day.

What do you guys thinik the max swell wind etc i could go out in and how far out could I go on a good day?. I live in the bunbury area.

Dont forget to tip...Thursday game!!

Sydney...Buddy to Roll on again!

 I have now been in Kalgoorlie now for 6 weeks and finally found some gold . (Yeah i cheated) welt along to the tourist mine for something to do and tried my luck at panning. Along with lots of tiny bits of gold you could barely see this one popped out. Now just need a couple of thousand more like it 

 Hey all recently removed staino bimini of my c craft welded up cracks added brackets polished back up to shiny put on boat rusted in a week flat  as far as i can see ill have to get re dipped in chrome  any info or any idea on cost of this or any other solution appreciated cheers craig

 G'Day All,

Thanks for the ad.

I promised to update my profile and have now done so after picking up my new purchase. Fair to say I'm pretty excited.

Iggy is a Seafarer V-Sea 5.0 with a 90 Etec, Simrad Evo 2 (9" touchscreen). Iggy is basically ready to go but there are a couple of very minor additions I will be adding such as bimini rocket launchers and an anchor recovery clip on ring/bouy.

I usually head out near Rotto with my mate on his boat but it will be nice to go out with him and not have to refuel on the water.

Now I will sell my Valiant so as to not use her for towing and launching so if you know of anyone wanting a classic car that runs, looks and drives a treat please let me know.

Stay safe and tight lines 

So here she is and she lays in state at the smash repairers awaiting her fate. From an initial look the smash repairer reckons a write off 

I've put a lot of extras on her including new suspension that was going to be tested on the Gnaraloo track at the end of the month. 

So a couple of parts to this post, firstly as a preemptive I've been out to look at replacement cars and took a V6 8 speed Sportline Amarok for a test run yesterday, well it nearly pulled my face off with the kickdown torque heading onto Roe Highway. With their end of financial year runout deals it's going to be hard to beat  at 1.8% finance. She will of course need extras like long range fuel tank, roo bar, well liner and tow ball to start. But the finish of the car is exemplary, good old German engineering.

Ok second part of this post is for anyone with legal mind. So my car was only insured for market value and when I get paid out I reckon I'll be about $7.5k out of pocket for all the extras ( for something that wasn't my fault FFS) Has anyone heard of a precedent of the other party being sued for this? 

 Looks like a wet one tonight in Adelaide and maybe for others on the weekend, long weekend over east, so there’s a Monday game too. Don’t forget your tips, byes mean there’s only 7 games.

 Hi everyone 

looking for some feedback on the use of a Minn Kota or similar thinking of getting one to hold me on a spot rather than anchoring. I’ve read a fair bit on them anyone got one ?

cheers

hey guys.
wondering if anyone could suggest where to watch ufc 225 this sunday and fight times etc? my local has failed me :( seem to be heaps of venues for the horn/Crawford fight, but cant find any for the ufc (haven't looked at crown as not keen to head out that way)
either should be pretty entertaining!

Seems like a few on here know transport.

I need to get hold of a shipping container and then get it tranported and unloaded in a laydown yard in the south of brisbane.

Looking for the most cost affective options on both the container and the freight. I might need to leave the container in the yard for a month or two before I empty it...

Any ideas where to start??

This one is good enough for its own thread.

How would you be if your captain and the only player in your team capable of winning a stoppage of standing off to the side playing with her locks while play goes on. Even the AFLW players worry about the ball first.

Inoticed this little gem in the local waters forecast this morning.

 Hopefully the "smart drum line tech" is going to gather some momentum....

I dont agree with Campbells view that the coastline here doesnt lend itself to a trial, I would have thought the "known" areas are prime for a few 20 O hooks and a fillet of fresh whale....

Australia becoming anything like Reunion Island is not a good road to go down although the species we are having issues with is no doubt slower to breed and become that threat.

Its like a credit card debt though, the more it snowballs, the more it snowballs....

I wonder if there are any "true watermen" left braving the ocean at Reunion now or whether they have since all been eaten?

 Seen this on a facebook page thought I'd share might help 

 Could have been worse. Perhaps better now than the end of the season.

 Hi guys

need to start looking at storing my boat away from my house

i live north of the river (Sorrento) and the boat is 7.6m but 11m with trailer

all boats in Kingsley  doesn’t do it anymore

anyone have some suggestions 

Any help appreciated cheers

 G'day all,

Just wondering if anyone can recommend somewhere to stay in Gero with a boat in tow. Thinking of my return journey from Gnarloo, I don't want to do it in one hit as I'll have my boy's with me and oldest has only had his licence a short time and don't want to lumber him with night time driving with the boat etc. Thought Gero is a good midway stop and that gives us the luxury of leaving Gnaraloo mid morning. Cheers Andy

 What a bible bashing staging poof!

Such a sinner!!

Get out of my team.....

Hello fishos

Heading up to Exmouth this year and wanting to try some deeper water fishing.
When heading out from Tantabiddi is anywhere in the 80 to 100m areas good?
Do I need to be looking out for any type of structure or is sand area ok?

cheers

 After nearly 5 weeks away working in kalgoorlie work flew me home for the long weekend.  Arriving home about 9:30 pm hit the water at a not so early time of about 8 am. The water wasnt as calm as id hoped from the forecast but it did calm down nicely. Altho the weather was perfect in the end the fishing was hard with nothing wanting to play apart from 2 nice occy and a good size cuttly . The fish were nowhere to be found. Tried all our usual grounds for zip apart from 1 small blackass. 

Was having lunch with my parents sunday so a night fish was on the cards. The winds were almost non existant and the water was flat as . Managed 4  good runs from rays but no snapper. 1  medium ray that went fairly hard with about a 10 minuit fight. 1 monster of about 5to 6 feet accross the wings  1 shovel nose and the anothe huge run that had me guesing till a big eagle ray of about 5 feet accross came into view. Who needs the gym when you fighting these things.

All up it was great to be home foe a few days but back to kalgoorlie Monday arvo for work and definitely no fishing there. Hopefull it wont be that long between fishing next time.

 Just got some new majorcraft braid, looks and feels awesome. Super slim and supple line, and it doesn’t break the bank. I got pe0.6 and it’s 14lb. Gonna load it onto the squid reel and give it a run
