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

 Hey all

im thinking of changing my super fund from colonial mutual to and industry super fund to save on annual fees can any gurus recommend a fund or funds I should take a look at. I'm 49 so still have a few years to retire yet, but just want to have a look around to see what is the best out there and to minimise annual fees going to the companies.  cheers.

 Hi guys,

Can anyone recommend a mobile mechanic to do a pre purchase inspection on a Honda 225 in Bunbury?

Cheers,

Ben

 Would not bother trying to fish at Mindarie Marina on the West Groye. Looks like they are adding rock and 80% is closed with no access including the northern end from the car park.

I sold my 2010 200 diesel about 2 months ago (2 months, 3days, 6 hours, 39minutes and 12 seconds to be exact)

I bought a Prado to replace - without starting bagging the prado I hate it and want my 200 back - have been looking at the current shape and wanted to know from anyone who has mid 15 onwards any issues -
I have heard a few things about the particulate filter and seems they dropped the steering wheel controls for a period (new ones have again??)
Claimed fuel economy is 9.5l per hundred - that's gotta be stretch? - am I wrong?

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a NOR place to do some fairly minor rust repairs on my Landcruiser. It's high up on the inside of the rear swing up window. Seems like a common place for rust as I've seen others the same.

It seems a lot of places are only interested in insurance jobs.

Cheers

I'm actually a tiny bit worried about this one as the Saints have matched us well recently beating us and leading us right to the last 5 minutes last season and leading us for a fair way at home the season before. We should get the job done and done well but complacency is a killer in the AFL. Managed to score my mate's member's tickets so will be taking the Mrs and sitting in the top tier right on the wing.

I've heard that Freo and Collingwood have a new trophy for the game and Sunday's match will be known as the Clanger Cup. With S.Hill out I think that Pies just might take the choccies with the most clangers.

The biggest question of the weekend is which team will Boon be barracking for?

Fire away.

 ...of full time work. Sitting in the office here at TP, outstanding work all cleared up. I have a signed contract for part-time training work in Perth, and the new boat is waiting. Just need to make nenough to not dip into the super for a few more years. Only posting this to rub it in to those of you not old enough to do it yet, and, no, Boonie, this does NOT mean I will be participating in the footy threads . 

Oh look, I found a really big emoji 

i know a lot can happen in a week but this is an interesting one 

 Crew,

Bought a rod from fw member Feral up there in Karatha but unfortunately our heli flight in was delayed not giving me time to get the rod checked in on the fixed wing south...

As it looks like i wont be crew changing again through there i need to get the rod down to Perth.

Anybody heading down or perhaps has an idea for me?

Boon

 Hey guys I'm currently looking for any old scott bonnars completed running or not my father has since retired and needs something to keep his mind busy happy to pay cash beer or fishing gear can PM or can sms 0422870349 thanks legends and tight lines 

 Looking to buy my son a PLB for his birthday. Any recommendations. Don't suppose you know how good they are unless you have to use one, but anyone with any knowledge would be helpful. AND, where to buy or go have a look.

Just had two weeks exploring this crushingly poor country with an average daily income of less that two dollars, they only see roughly 100,000 tourists a year. We had a professional guide and explored from Anatananivo south to the Mozambique Channel and the spiney forest.  You have to drink bottled water as less than 3 percent of the population has access to safe water, the rest..,well they drink muddy river water that people do the washing in. No fishing this trip indeed only tilapia and tiny carp available in fresh water and bluntly there are NO fish over a few inches long inside the reef down south.  Hope you enjoy the photos

 NOT. 

Sandy showed me a photo of the local beach down the road from our house and it looked like crap. Im assuming noone is getting out fishing but bring on the snapper from shore . Blowing hard here in kalgoorlie atm but not much rain . Hope its goung to turn around for next weekend when im home 

 Just got back from 14 days in Madagascar....stunning does not describe it.  Now in Mauritius for a couple of days, was going to go on a charter this morning but decided that I didn’t want to buy the boat ...660euros for half a day well out of my price range

Hi All
Just moving house and at the new place the driveway has a slight incline, nothing crazy

I am just wondering what options there are out there for lifting the nose up so the rain etc drains out the back. my jockey wheel gets it to about level put I need to lift the trailer up by hand to get some bricks under the wheel and get the desired angle. The boat weighs about 1 ton and the ball weight would be just over 100kg estimated which is going to end in tears at some point.

Just looking at a simple setup DIY with a jack or something that wont topple and is easy for 1 person and quick.

is an extra long jockey wheel an option? bearing in mind when hooked on the car my current one only just has enough clearance to swing down

cheers

Cheers for the Ad.

Tight lines and safe boating to all.

Presently I haven't filled my profile details in but will soon.

Currently looking at a Seafarer and am ready to get out there.

If anyone can give me any heads-up on how hard it is to get a VHF radio licence please do tell.

Late Afternoon Glass Off

Few tough ones..Ive gone the bombers after last week...sticking with Adelaide Just...and thinking Freo will get home in a tight wet weather game.

 Looks like photobucket is back??? Fishwreckapedia is alive again!!

 After 3 weeks in kalgoorlie i made it out to the superpit. Makes you feel a bit insignificant looing down to the bottom . I would swap the dry dust for salt spray in the face anyday . 

Last time out in our 5.2m Frazer, we noticed a small leakage of oil from the centre shaft on the outboard tilt/trim unit on our 90HP ETEC. The raise/lower still worked OK but was quite noisy and jerky. Got home, flushed the motor and found it would not longer go up and down.

First check on the internet - looks like a leaking seal is the likely culprit and can only find an Evinrude kit of seals for this tilt/trim unit at the princely sum of over $280 from Canada. Called Sportsmarine (Bunbury) who quoted over $350 for the same kit. More research reveals the Evinrude repair kits contain a piston cap which only fits later models of the tilt/trim unit, ie not mine, which is an earlier model. So the most expensive item in the Evinrude kit would be no use in my rebuild. It is supplied 'just in case' the original cap is broken during removal.  

So, options so far are to pay $280-350 for an Evinrude repair kit (use the seals/o-rings but throw away the most costly single item ie the cap) or do something else.

In this case, something else was to go to Nowland Hydraulics (thanks Sportsmarine for the tip!) and purchase the individual seals and o-rings based on their sizes/markings etc., for less than $70. 

I reassembled the unit, filled with fresh oil, raised/lowered the motor a few times to bleed it and it now works as good and smooth as new.

This picture shows the old seals which I removed. Note the cracks visible in the lower left hand seal which caused the original oil leakage.

A BIG thanks to Nowland Hydraulics for obtaining the parts and for Sportsmarine for steering me in the right direction.

Does anyone in the metro area have a copper brake line cutter and flaring tool I could borrow/rent for a 6 pack?

I had a minor incident over the weekend but have managed to bend the hydraulic copper pipe just as it enters the fitting on the hitch. It's weeping fluid under braking and I think it’s a bit more than just tightening is going to fix.

Ta, Darren

 I farkin love this shit!!!

 Hi all

Having the veranda renovated for more space 

Wondering rather than letting the trady take or dump the sticks which I  know is expensive whether there is a possible market for them 

Bull nose not really the fashion anymore so if any on here are builders etc would appreciate an opinion 

Cheers 

Neels 

 Admittedly, I’m looking forward to Wet Toast v Tigers, but as for the rest

Crows

GWS???

Port in China 

Cats

Swans, but I hope we’re competitive 

Pies, but beware the wounded Saint.

WCE, but with no confidence 

Happened early this morning I believe. HEADS UP, COMRADES! Al Norris is with Brodie Copeland. 4 hrs IF anyone knows these guys were from warnbro and kwinana that has done this and they were driving a black suv or ute that had a bonfire down the beach all were white males 8-10 in there low to mid 20's any info will be kept 100% annonymous inbox me please if you know anything If anyone hears about a pair of tiagra 30w reels for sale could you please let me know. For thos asking us what happend last night over private messanger, we were down at horse beach fishing and around 12:30-1 in the morning a big group of guys older than us came down to where we were set up. They started off asking what we had caught and sat down. At this stage some of us started packing up to leave or run, although the group started taking rods and reels before attacking the group of us fishing on the beach. I managed to run off into the bush and hide with my equiptment and called police, by this time the others on the beach had everything valuable taken or thrown in the water, held at knife point and told to lay face down in the sand while their phones, wallets, chains, reels and other stuff stolen. Jono had to go to the hospital after been hit on the head with a tiagra but he is alright now. There was a few thousand bucks worth of stuff taken, hoping someone may see a for sale add for the reels.

There have been many posts about towing and how important it is to make sure that your transmission is not being overworked by either slowing down or using a lower gear etc.

I am running a Jeep 3 litre diesel 8 speed. Normal transmission temp, not towing, is 91 degrees centigrade. Towing 3.5 tonne and leaving the transmission to select its own gear, I get up to 101 centigrade. This is towing in 8th gear at 100kph, the transmission does not hunt at this speed, although it will drop a gear when pulling up inclines or into a stiff headwind, very rare for it to drop to 6th unless the incline is steep or you push it hard.

So, what is normal, what should you expect to see your transmission temp at ? 

Hey FishWwrecked Gang,

I just thought I'd shout out to see if anyone was coming home from an up north fishing trip.

I'm off on this sailing capper again ( short one this time). As a result, I'm going to find myself about 500kms from where I left my car in Geraldton.

I'm looking for a ride from Carnarvon to Geraldton to pick up my car. I'm sailing into Canarvon on the 19th or 20th (depending on weather) and keen to get south ASAP.

Happy to split fuel and driving. I'll have one bag, a surfboard (maybe not) and myself. Give me a shout if you're heading south on those dates. Please note, I'll be out of range from monday lunchtime and I won't be able to reply until I get back into Carnarvon. Drop me a PM with your phone number.


About me: 36yo with family in perth, easygoing. Happy to have a chat or plug my headphones in if you want peace and quite.


Cheers Adam
