went out tonight despite the wind. No mullet for me but apart from the couple of fish 1 bony herring and a skippy  this lot will taste great . 

 2 Days to go, I’m getting as anxious as a kitten, I feel another Luke coming @2 and hopefully Andy Brayshaw @5. Bring it on I say.

 after looking into extending the transom of the swity we found it needed some work. Ended up extending the transome while they were at it. Got the marlin boards and ladder along with the in hull foam .finished up with a good cut and polish. 

Just gone in for the bimini . 

Has anyone tried / had issues taking unrigged jigs as part of their carry-on luggage? 

Hard to tell from this link ... http://travelsecure.infrastructure.gov.au/onboard/what-i-cannot-take-onboard.aspx

They are not sharp and not long enough to be a weapon, but don't want to lose them, has anyone had any experiences? 

Checked bags are already chockers ;)

 Just after a ball park estimate of fuel use for a support vessel. Boat is 5.3m fibreglass Motor 75hp Honda 4 stroke. cheers

So the first squads being selected. Couple of interesting in's and outs. Lets see if the Aussies can get some runs on the board.

 TY THE BOOM RECRUIT......

Well you fucking tosser Ty.......

You are the softy that i always thought you were ( even though once the Hawks picked him up i thought it must have been some sort of master stroke and Clarko knew something the rest of us didnt )....

Why the fuck should the Hawks have to include his salary for the upcoming season if we are now down to 43 on the list with him retiring?

Thats bollocks IMO and i'm not just saying that because its my team, its simply unfair....

Anyway i suspect Ty knew that yes vote would get up and he's running off to marry his long time lover Jakey Boy King.........

On another note - NO Gibbs no Docherty no Carlton???

Thats gotta be a pretty massive blow to the improvong Blues

Hi Guys

Been getting a few quotes for a 4x3.5m shed/mini workshop for the backyard and its doing my head in!!

Can anyone recommend a company that they have used? Still undecided if we will go supply only or get the kit and do the rest ourselves.

Cheers

Steve

 Just curious as others might be , what according to superstition is the way to change the name of a boat without bringing on bad luck. 

 i know its superstition but i believe in it . like bananas on a boat or releasing your first fish caught on your new boat

 So the Ranger goes in for a lift kit on Wednesday (Thanks Colin for your help and Corey's advice) Once that's done I'll be getting new tyres fitted. I'm looking at BF Goodrich all terrain or Cooper St maxx If anyone runs these let me know your thoughts and opinions. I don't want them too aggressive as I'll do more road than off road driving. Offroad will be beach launching and the dreaded Gnaraloo track once a year. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

 Hey all

time to replace the VHF as the current model is old and getting a bit unreliable. 

Any recommendations on the best/ most powerful model available at present? I do a fair bit of long range/ far offshore fishing and know that a lot of getting the  best range will be depend on Set up type/ Ariel length etc, but I’m a bit of an elec type stuff numpty, so any recommendations both the unit and best ways to get the best reception range etc out of both the set up and components would be greatly appreciated

my current unit is an old GME so was looking at the GX700W so I could use most of the same connections/ running gear, but am happy to go a different brand and work backwards from there. Is this the best/ strongest GME there is and is there any other better/ stronger brands/ models out there?

price not really an issue unless it’s a crazy stupid difference from the GX700W.

woukd really appreciate people’s ideas/ suggestions 

cheers

to a 7.1 metre assassin ......preferably around Rocky, Henderson or Port Kennedy ......can anyone here help or recommend please 

When someone asks how much you've spent on fishing gear.

Sorry non Facebookers - can't find it anywhere else.

Looking for someone with knowledge of drones who can help me.
I have a DJI Phantom 3 standard and can't get the remote to pair with drone or do firmware update .
Not sure if the drone or remote has the issue so if someone has the same unit I would like to try pairing my remote to there drone or other way round to try eliminating the suspect part . Remote control is new but drone bought second hand without remote so don't know history.

 i was supposed to take possesion of my new boat 2 weeks ago i am now told it will be anouther week , This is after ordering it I was told "your in luck mate we have 1 of those in stock ready to go just need to have all the options you want fitted to it" , not prepared to name the dealership yet but will say they are 1 of the bigger 1s in wa ,

 Yet another swarm in the boat if anyone can use it.   Quinns rocks. Used a guy off gumtree last time to remove another but he was a waste of time.  These one have set up camp on top of a camphor stick and dont care.  Feel sorry about bombing them if no one can use them.  Cheers anypuddle.

JL has built some kind of squad and surely we are destined to reap the rewards of developing a squad through local players if not this season but over the next decade.

Just when you thought our bowling stocks couldn't get any better this Kelly also pops up. It''ll be a nice headache for JL to have once Paris is fit and Dorf is allowed to play. 

The boys are in their way to crushing Tas with NCN showing he is worthy of a Baggy Green if required.

 So this isn't fishing related (unless I put a few hooks into some ski biscuits) but I want to know the best way to tow 2 ski biscuits.

Do you use 2 bridles and 2 ropes, or 2 ropes connected to a single bridle?

thanks

 Just needed to vent, accidently left my car unlocked on the night thieving, shitheeled, scumbag C$%^ts were on the prowl. They took my batt operated and hammer drill from back seat and my fucking workshop and truck keys in my console. I'm absolutely spewing about the keys as the truck keys cost around $400 to replace. Not sure how I'm going to go insurance wise but will check. Thank fuck I have a spare set or I wouldn't have been able to get into my workshop today. I noticed they got into the neighbour's car as well and will have a chat with them later. Have reported to police in the hope that they chuck the keys and someone finds them. These fucks are everywhere thesedays and you let your guard down for a second and they pounce. 

 i have a set of deck mount outriggers, the kind where the base is mounted on the gunnel alongside the rod holder.

has anyone used these mountings before and are they any good?

i know they are cheap but before I cut holes in the gunnel I'd like to know that they will work ok.

thanks

 In a different era JJF could have provided Slater with a rivalry that might have stopped the King winning his 11 titles and becoming arguably the greatest sportsman ever.

Andy had his reign halting Slater for a period but had his own inner demons, 

John John can win his second ( back to back ) title today in Portugal...

Fingers crossed he beats Medina and claims the title he deserves!!

Only Slater Curren and Carroll before him have ever won b2b's....

Giddy up JJF, go large son.

 maybe the wrong section to put this post.

Is there any solo cray fishers around that need a pot puller.

Have my own pots,pay for bait,fuel.

Home for 3 weeks now and can go any time.

Was just doing a bit of maintenance on the boat and noticed the outer casing of my tyre has split. Only 4 days ago I drove her back to Perth from Dunsborough. 

Someone or something was watching out for me!!

Smashing bottles in the car park this afternoon at Woodies ramp while they rigged up the boat
