Is anyone on here a ceiling plasterer that can let me know how much it'd be to finish off this repair job.

Cheers


Fishing holiday

 Hey guys long time bo speak.

basically have been working hard and decided its time to take that once in a life time fishing holiday. At the moment thinking ocean blue vanuatu 

anyone have any other ideas mainly just want to

do saltwater popping and jigging but somehwhere overseas


Hard day out

 With the forecast looking okish organised ShaneO to go out for a bash. Headed off at the crack of dawn with an easterly blowing moderate so thinking not going to be too bad. Wrong. The winds didnt drop off but picked up which made it a tad rough . I was asked "do you have any kwels on board " . But i will give Shane credit he stuck it out for a couple of hours till the wind dropped off a bit. We made our way into some shallower and calmer waters to give the whiting a bash. Them damn western butter fish in plague numbers made it hard to get the whiting but we ended up getting 20 decent size ones for the table. Lots of small flatties out there as well and them spikes hurt when you get stuck in the knee. Headed in at a leasurly speed of 25knots. Hopefully next time the winds will be more in our favor .finished the day off with beer battered whiting and chips. 


How busy are the ramps?

sitting in the Eastern suburbs thinking of getting the boat down to Hillarys but thinking the ramp will be absolutely crazy today, anyone been past or seen it yet? 


Tom price Lightning

 Got this night before last. I was set up to do time lapses of some storm which didn't really lend themselves to good lighting still--too far away, all inside the cloud, behind rain, etc, then this one frame stood out. And that is pretty much how it looked on the instant review. 

 

 

 


Point Peron Poo Pipe

Headed out from Shoalwater bay today towards 5FB in the vacinity of the end of the Poo pipe that currently has warnings relating to health issues fishing within 1km of the end.

Jesus Christ can you smell it when you're out there! The water is filthy and you can see the slick extending towards GI.

At first I accused my mate but once we realised it was neithe of us, it kept getting stronger.

I didn't notice any signs at the ramp but as it is a health warning, I am surprised there is nothing there.

 

Further surprised that Fisheries research were parked in the no parking verge area when we got back. Right in the spot plenty of people get fined.


4th Test

SA won the toss and are having a bat. No Starc, has a foot injury. Probably from planting it in Warner’s arse.


Best small winch ( semi portable)

 Fellas I'm looking at buying a winch to get a dingi on the canopy roof and also if/when needed for doing some winching out 4x4 or trailer etc. 

I'll have it mounted so it will be able to slot it in the Reece hitch but it won't be permanently mounted.

I want something reliable and strong without it being too big and heavy. 

Has anyone got anything or can recommend anything that might suit?

If anyone happens to need a deckie let me know, chip in all the usuals.

Cheers, Choc.


Side Console photos

 


Opinions on side console vs centre

 Righto fellas I'm getting close with my little project boat ( 4.75 Quintrex Bayhunter) It was a runabout but am changing it to either a side or centre console. It's pretyy well been a total rebuild, but being a milenium hull and in very good nick thought it was worth it. I'd like a few opinions on either, pros and cons. I won't put any pics up until she's together, I want to show from start to finish. I hope you'll be proud of what I've done here Gordon ;) 


Treasures from the wreck of the unbelievable

For those subscribers to Netflix......this is truly a MUST watch, a 2,000 year old wreck ......so many questions.....how the hell did they build a ship that big back then, how the hell did they get stuff that size aboard.  A great watch if the weather is bad over Easter  


Steep point

 Any one go up to steep on the 24/3 or drive out of the the forby track and witness the hord of rubbish left there


Timber

 Hey,

After some figured black walnut boards for rifle stocks. Have been to the timber bloke in naval base but he is running low. Does anyone know of anyone else that may be worth a shot?

 

here is the latest one ready to go in the duplicator. Figured walnut & tiger maple with 3 layers of carbon fibre. I normally press them when gluing but it has another blank in it!

Newbie heading out to Wilbinga in a few days

Hi All - Thanks for having me on fishwrecked!

 

I'm heading out to Wilbinga from Wednesday till saturday and targeting tailor (and night time mulla). Does any of you lads have any recent experience on catches? Also, with the rains coming down atm, any idea what sand will be like? Been a cpl of times over the last year and noticed a different feel in the sand every time. Slightly worried that top layer will be good but underneath... making any loose stuff difficult to spot :(

 

Feel free to come and say hello if you happen to be around - got a white FJ and probably be fishing the southern-end of wilbinga area!

 

Hope I can post some nice pics afters.

 

Cheers,

Pat

Canal Rocks boat ramp

 Hi All,

 

Have they actually closed Canal Rocks Boat ramp already or is it still in discussions.

Heading down south this weekend with the rest of WA. If the winds play it right wouldnt mind getting off the west coast for a fish for something other than Salmon.

 

Cheers.

Where in hell is our Indian Summer

 Bloody hell by the looks of it two years running and no fishing over Easter . Cyclones and southerlies can't even get my pots out the water which is my mission at the moment. This is the time of year where winds usually start settling and you could almost bank on decent days. That's out the F^%&^%ng window lol. Glad the wine stocks are up will probably write myself off with a few of my cellared specials.

Boat Registration

 I'm selling my boat at the moment and it has been sitting at a boat yard for a few weeks. The boat registration is now due for renewal. Do I need to renew this as I have no intention of using the boat? I believe that the buyer can pay this when the boat gets bought/transferred into their name, or I can pay it shortly before it gets sold.  I understand that the boat trailer needs to be licenced othewise it will need to go over the "pits". Please indicate whether my assumptions are correct regarding renewing boat rego. and any negatives of not renewing the boat rego. 

Thanks
