May be a little extreme

 I had my car rego , motorcycle rego , boat trailer rego and boat  rego all come in within a fortnight of each  other , why is there a rego payment option that of 3 ,  6 and 12 months  for the car, motorbike and boat trailer and  no option option on boat rego you have to pay a full 12 months when it comes to boat rego , i can pay the full 12 months but it must be hard for those on struggle street , and why are we still paying for a sticker to put on our boats when we dont have one on our cars these days ????

 You have just got to be kidding with this new name for the shockers HQ lol

Hi All,

I wanted to ask peoples opinion/experience with bean bags in the boat. My dad and I recently went on a charter where the centre console boats would regularly travel 60kph in 3 metre swell/19 knot winds. As such, they had bean bags where you could sort of rest in the floor to avoid crushing your vertebrae. My dad loved them, and is seriously considering getting one (not for me, the gunnels on my boat are a little taller, and I go a little green if I go below them). I figured it might be a good fathers day present or something.

My question is about whether anyone here has used non-marine versions of them for the boat. I've seen all the marine ones online which certianly look the goods, but, they're about $100 USD, then postage. I'm wondering whether I can't just get a cheapy fabric one from K-Mart and use that. I suppose my concern is mostly the salt water. Obviously I would hose it down after a trip, but, I'm not sure how long it would take to dry out, and whether it would then develop mildew/mould. Also, I wondered if it was just regular fabric whether it would go fairly brittle fairly quick - last thing I want is 10,000 little polystyrene balls getting loose on the boat, particularly when we're out on the water.

I look forward to hearing anyone's thoughts they may have.

 Howdy,

I've booked a week off work in July and am planning on a camping/ fishing/ 4x4 trip up north somewhere, but not quite sure where that somewhere is. I'll just need to grab a Waeco and a generator and then I'll be self sufficient (if I go an unpowered site), got everything else for camping already. 

Really want to make it a worth while trip, catch good fish and stay at a great location. I know the South West too well so was thinking Kalbarri or Shark Bay somewhere.

Was thining Denham because theres a bit there, boat ramp etc. Can do day trips to Steep, Francois NP...Maybe Monkey Mia after Randals good report. Nanga doesn't look too bad. Kalbarri is okay but I think Shark Bay in general has more to offer!

Looking at somewhere 9 hours or less.

Where have you been? Would you go back again? More importantly, hows the fishing?  Any input appreciated! Cheers 

What are the best weatherproof speakers to get? I'm getting tired of replacing the same GME ones that I buy, they only last a season, if that, before they corrode out. Not looking for boom box performance just something to get some tunes in the boat and won't fall to pieces in 12 months. They do cop a bit of water now and then so the more water proof/resistant the better.

cheers

G'day Crew,
Chasing opinions on under floor storage/kill tanks as the title suggests.
Having recently purchased a glass boat it has a 130 odd liter compartment. Thinking of using this to actually keep fish in with a ice slurry over the course of the days fishing. Couple of concerns, one is its not actually insulated and secondly, cleaning it out. It is a sealed tank with a bung that drains straight into the hull and I'm not real keen to dump it into the bilge/hull to hopefully wash all the muck out.
So what does every one do with these, bail them and wipe out, just wash them through the hull and out the hull bung or not bother and just run a esky on deck.
Just trying to maximize deck space?
Not too concerned about it not being insulated as fish would only be in there for the days outing.
Appreciate your thoughts on what to do with these.
Cheers.

 still a bit to do but  not far of getting the sray gun out 

Hey guys, currently in the market for 2 NEW Lowrance units, both HDS Gen 3 series. Has anyone been looking around lately and found any deals or can anyone recommend someone they dealt through? I seem to recall Chivers being dealers for Lowrance but cant find anything on their site. Also looking for someone to install these units and transducers if anyone can recommend.

I also have no idea what transducer is suited to me. Will be going on a ~5.5m ali boat, transom mount. Mostly fish shallow, >50m, but still want to find those smaller patches of ground. Is there anything better than the stock transducer that comes with the unit thats going to help? Will also be running 3D Structure Scan.

Thanks guys,
Beau.

Not so easy this one.
NM vs Bullies - North cant keep it up all yr, so WBD
Melbourne St's - Melbourne
Adelaide Freo - in Adelaide them
hawks GWS - taking a punt - GWS at home (this will test them to see where they stand)
Richmond Port - 2 strugglers, toss a coing at MCG Richmond
Cats GCS - cats
Brisbane Swans - poor brissy - Swans
Carlton Essendon _ wouldn't be surprised the other way, but Blues
WCE Collingwood - at home WC, but still to be convinced that they are the real deal this year. About time they showed themselves

 Gday FW crew,

Just wondering if anyone has bought a light bar recently that works a treat. I know they have come down alot in price so if anyone has bought a ripper at a good price i'd be keen to hear where from.

Cheers in advance,

Tim

 Now its starting to take shape

gday everyone,

just wondering what everyone thinks of having a WAFL match in Kulin on the weekend? Just for some background info Kulin is a small town in the Wheatbelt region, and the game is Claremont vs West Perth. I reckon it's great that they do this occasionally for the small Wheatbelt towns and they should maybe have this sort of thing more often for the country folks that can't get to the city to watch league footy or AFL footy.

thanks,

lachie

Hi Fishwreckers, anyone got recommendations for where to get a quality window tint?  Don't want darkest legal, maybe one lighter for night time driving for an old bloke.  NOR but that doesn't really matter, just want to get a good job.   Any ideas of cost too would be appreciated.  It's for a medium SUV.  Cheers guys 

 is anyone using something like this, or no of another brand to look for, was hoping for 4-5 trays. i no there is a bigger black magic bag but its $200 and thats a no go.

any suggestions, would prefer the trays to lay flat like in the pic not on their sides

cheers

 Just like  POTM maybe we could have a Forum Thread of the Month? As it's nearly the end of the month I will nominate one.

AFL Round 5

Thanks Mum, Dad and Grandad

And a pic especially for the Kiwi bros

 Hi all,

i have a broken rod. Its only a cheapy, but if possible i will get it fixed.

Anyone know how/if these can be replaced?

Thanks

 So does anyone know what happened  to cause the squid supply problem? Cheers

 Thinking of heading to Point Peron and fishing the beach just west of the car park to chase some salmon. Any reports if they are being caught down there and anything else being caught

 Hawks v Adelaide

Swans v Eagles

Suns v Roos

Bulldogs  v Lions

Port v Cats

Saints v Giants

Freo v Blues

Demons v Tigers

Pies v Bombers

Looks like it will be a difficult one for tipping, well maybe for me anyway...Blues have been improving but surely the Shockers can notch their first win and  end all these Owen memes once and for all? Eagles haven't won at the SCG for over fifteen years. Hawks 3-1 but haven't been too convincing coming up against Adelaide, who had a cracking win last week. Congratulation to Silk on his 300th game btw. Which Tigers will show up against Melbourne, was Watts game against the Pies last week a one off and will mediocrity resume? Will April's premiers Roos continue their good start and finally show they really mean business? Are Port well and truly shot to pieces? Pies and the Bombers? How many memes will tim-o flood the forum with if the Dockers go down? Interesting times ahead!

Hi Folks

Having lost or misplaced our 3 beloved Jaffle Irons I am in the hunt for 1 or 2 of the originals.
If anyone has one that is no longer required I would be most interested in releaving you of them.
attached is pics of some.

Thanks in advance

Just some info for you guys wanting to plan a fishing trip to the Kimberly or more.
There is a great magazine called the north australian fisher finder.
It is full of aerial photo's, gps spots, generel information regarding access and phone numbers and a hell of alot more information.
Just the aerial pictures are awesome as they show rock bars, wrecks and more with co-ords.

hey fellas

my house is pretty much finished I'm needing about 18 down lights fitted 2 hanging pendants and 2 out door power points fitted have cash waiting or a lot of fishing gear ha-ha :) inbox would be best way thanks

Was playing a beauty yesterday racking up clearances galore through the middle, hitting targets and feeling the fittest I’ve felt since I had cartilage removed from my knee last year. Picked up the loose ball and worked through traffic to nail my team mate with a low snap and he spilled it resulting in a turnover. I gave chase on the inside and as he went to handball back in I changed direction but my knee didn’t and it gave way with a big thunk and down I went screaming in anguish. After a couple of minutes I got the courage to try to stand on it and I was able to walk off with no pain and get some ice on it.

I didn’t get a chance to ice it properly as my mate got his ribs broken and punctured his lung as I rushed him to hospital and stayed with him until it was determined he was in for the night and went to his place to feed his dogs and get him some fresh clothes etc.

I’m pretty stiff, swollen and sore today. Seeing the physio soon and getting an MRI done tomorrow morning so really just expecting the worst and hoping for the best but the way I went down doesn’t fill me with a lot of confidence.

Anyhow that’s my sob story for the week and if I’ve done my ACL you can expect a few more fishing reports!  

Chasing some info guys and couldn't see anything in the search function... Chasing info on where I can get my hands on 3-4 commercial type plastic crates that drain similar to the ones used in the cray industry. Can anyone advise if they have or stock these...

Need a  licensed (must have license number) HF radio operator to come and make a test call on my HF radio for survey. As I've got to have 1 logged call before the survey check. Boat will be in Bunbury on the 25th or 26th April whatever day is easiest. If anyone is available to help out. I'll throw in a carton for your efforts. Flick me a pm if available.

After being out today I def need to get some clears for the boat.  So can anyone recommend a good upholsterer that can make a set up I live in warnbro cheers. Darryl 

 Any members that are mobile auto Sparkies or know one that are available at short notice SOR (Forrestfield) ?

My daughters Barina is stalling when lights go on. If I can get a number or if they can call 0418 955 046

cheers
