Hi guys just wondering if someone is able to do a block inection for inspection for me. I've got a letter from the council saying that I need to ensure that it is clear. It is a canal block and all I need some photos of the property to determine if I need to do anything. Willing to buy a carton of your flavour or transfer the funds into your account if you are able to help. I suspect that there won't be much if any as there wasn't last year. Any assistance would be appreciated.

 Not me- but around the corner.

Driver of car lost control,when thru four fences,trees,shrubs,ect -then took out trailer and boat(overturned and off trailer),kept going ploughed into camper trailer and carport.

Good effort(not).

 Looking forward to this weeks games , the rested teams go in favourites but my coin’s going on the underdogs .

For those planning to travel north in the near future it will pay to be on the look out for roos from Billabong through to turn off. Drove up to Exmouth on Sunday arvo and there was no shortage of fresh bodies on the roadside, returned to Wooramel Tuesday then off to Gero on Wednesday and back Thursday with approx. the same amount of carcasses on the roadside as well.

For those who like to break the trip north up, give Wooramel roadhouse a bit of consideration. Cost for a budget donga room with either two single beds or a single and bunk beds for kids is $30 a night. In the near future there will be ensuite rooms with a double bed on offer. A camp kitchen is available for those wishing to cook their own food or grab a meal from the roadhouse, hot food cooking closes at 1815

Hi Everyone

I recently used the above ramp and found that it was damaged as it was missing about 6 concrete blocks in the middle at the back of the ramp.

Has anyone else used the ramp and found it to be in this condition and if so did you happen to advise the Mosman Park council or has it been this way for ages.

Does anyone know if there are plans to repair it as it wasn't that much fun getting a 6.4m boat & trailer back out even with a 4WD.

Note the drop off in the section missing the blocks was about 15cm but if someone has driven onto trailer recently this could easily blow out to 25 or 30cm which may be enough to bottom out your trailer frame or axle/s and duplicate the result below.

Thanks

Regards

Anyone running these this season?

i got given 4 the other day may have to put them to good use! Any secrets for rigging them or just the same as a noirmal wooden rectangle pot?

Sheesh you'd have to really piss someone off or they'd have to be a particularly vindictive bastard to have your boat sunk.

Just goes to show that you never know who you are dealing with when you confront someone at the ramp or on the road.

 Hawks vs Bulldogs .. thinking the bulldogs for some unbeknown reason or maybe it’s wishful thinking . It’ll be interesting to see what the Hawks pull out of the hat , I noticed last week their sheperding the man on the mark was fairly pronounced and apparently within the rules , The Bullies are going to have to stand up and not take a step back because we know the hawks will be fairly unsociable .

 I havent caught the full story of whats been going on in the real world as i'm working in the Pilbara atm but it seems like the gun laws are again being debated.

 I am so sick of wankers that think gun ownership is some sort of taboo thing and we're all nutcases because we have them.

Responsible lisence holding gun owners for the most part do the righty.

The dickheads will always be able to access an illegal gun if they try hard enough.

I dont view my rifles/shotty to be any different to the golf clubs or surf boards or fishing rods i have.

They are just part of me and my upbringing.

I hope if they try any funny business that people again jump off the major parties and this time jump on the fishing and shooters party like they did for One nation.

It seems the only way to get common sense back in this country is to speak with you're feet and give the two majors the flick.

Hi guys

I know the solar thing gets flogged on here but couldn't find info on Solar leasing.

Just had a door knocker (always a red flag for me). Explained that they offer no upfront cost on the installation of the panels and inverter and they just take the difference from what the power bill would have been to what it is with the panels in place until this amount equals the initial cost. (hope that made sense).

Just wondering if anyone has seen/heard anything sililar either good or bad?

 it was 15 years ago today that 9/11 happened , i bet you can remember where you when it occured i was in K town had , had a nanna nap then woke up turned  on my tv and saw what i thought was a shitty movie on tv changed  channels and saw the same movie changed tv channel again , WTF this is for real , where were you ?

So coming back to work on Friday (Bayswater), I find that one of my workers along with a neighbour business owner had apprehended this piece of filth.
My worker (Chad) witnessed him run into a business office while the owner went out the back. He quickly came out, got on his bike and took off at pace. Chad quickly got the attention of the man just robbed, and both got into his car to pursue.
In short time they found him and apprehended him. Straight away the thief started beg and cry for them to let him go, he cried for them to just bash him and not call the police. So Chad called the police immediately. LOL.
The man he stole from works 7 days a week, 12hours a day and the $2200 was all the money he had in this world. In his line of work he has to have the cash on hand but will probably keep it more secure from now on.
If admin want to delete this post, I understand. I just wanted to share his picture because he will be out on Monday and has been targeting businesses and homes in the Eastern suburbs for some time. I can name him, but unsure if admin would be ok with that.
Cheers Grant .

 Hi guys

Got a problem with the fuel getting to the motor when I'm going faster. 

When I start the motor it starts fine and will idle no worries. I can drive all day at low speed5-8 knots but when I give it 3/4 to full throttle it starves of fuel. I have a 40hp Yamaha 2 stroke and it is running off jerry can fuel tank. Every time it starts to run out the fuel bulb on the fuel line is sucked in. I have made sure the breather is open on the cap. It has been fine for years and only did it for the first time last week after a service done by boat shop  I put a new fuel line on but still same problem  

Any ideas?

 Nearly ready 

 Try to keep the tipping thread clean of general banter so I can keep track of who is tipping what team etc. 

Can't understand why the Eagles have picked brown. GWS to go straight sets few nervous boys I reckon

 And I think the swans and crows will win by very big margins

Eagles 

Crows 

Cats

Not even sure why Im putting these up here, maybe us old fuckers like looking in the rear view mirror too much?

Came across a heap more old photos, for anyone who has an interest.
These span from mid 90's charters in Coral bay, late 90's and 2000's longlining for swordies tuna and later sharks.

First boat I ever skippered, the Norstar (otherwise known as the Snorestar )

That blue handled Fdick knife travelled with me everywhere, until about a year back when a scabby seagul knocked it overboard at the Abrolhos 

Hows this for a blast from the past...

Swiss Danny, a top bloke and gun decky. Through the wonders of Facebook still in contact and he has an olive grove and chalets in Tuscany.
One of those incredible coincidences-in about 1999, Boxing Day I flew into Zurich to visit my sister and literally bumped straight into him in the airport, 10 seconds either way and I wouldnt have known...

Coral Bay, mid 90's

EDIT-on closer inspection it is actually Vin!

I like this pic, maybe just triggers a subliminal memory of a happy day amongst the grindingly hard work you dont see or something?

Killing a tuna

and thats it for now, later maybe Ill chuck up some more if there is any interest, or just put them on Farcebook otherwise

 a big thank you to forum member "thesupervisor" (rob) for coming and sanding my deck when nobody else would take the job on good bloke turned up when he said he would  . He did an excelent job i recomend him  if you need your deck restored get him to do it

Hi guys

Ive come across this product which I am probably going to buy. It looks like a damn good idea...if not a little expensive. Has anybody seen or used one of these before? It allows you to jack the boat off the trailer and then remove the trailer safely. The screw jacks will also allow for easy raising and lowering when adjusting bunks and rollers on the trailer.

boatstands.com/product/manual-boat-lifting-system/

I have started my project boat (I'll only post pics and details once I have finished, just in case I completely stuff it up) and will need something similar to help remove the boat from the trailer, build a cradle underneath, and then place it back gently afterwards. 

Is this something any of you lot would be interested in using after I have finish with it? Mind you, I intend to have boats and trailer for many years to come so I have no doubt I'll use it at least a few more times after this job.

 Looks like sea rescue is out looking for someone again

https://www.facebook.com/WA.Police/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE

Anchored in the Sound around well south of the D9 last night, when retrieving the anchor this came up, nearly an expensive trip.  Sounder was alight with fish but not a single touch other than a huge blue swimmer crab that fell off at the side of the boat .....oh well you can't have everything  

 Im thinking about building an offset smoker for the patio was thinking pizza oven originally but a big meat cooker would probably be more suited. we love our bbqs and do quite a bit of entertaining. 

Anyone on here have one or made one before. 

And what woods have you experimented with. 

Pic attached is similar to what im thinking 

Cheers

Rod

 Well as some would know, I've gone out and bought Hezzy's dinghy from him. Hoping to get out into the sound before the pinky closure comes around, but if not, there's always next year. Already got a nice little dragonfly sounder gps combo for it, battery and electrics next, floor to go in soon and a couple of other mods over time. But it's been far too long, so here's to some good fishing.
