white man
Submitted by catchalittle on Tue, 2009-11-10 19:24where the white man went wrong...
Indian Chief "Two Eagles" was asked by a white U.S. Government official, "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."
The Chief nodded in agreement.
The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"
The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied:
"When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; all night having sex."
Then the chief leaned back and smiled "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."

laugh time
Submitted by catchalittle on Mon, 2009-11-09 23:04
After 20 years of marriage, a couple was lying in bed one night, when the missus felt her husband begin to fondle her in ways he hadn't in quite some time.
It almost tickled as his fingers started at her neck and then began moving down past the small of her back. He then caressed her shoulders and neck, slowly worked his hand down over her breasts, stopping just over her lower stomach.
He then proceeded to place his hand on her left inner arm and caressed the side of her breast again. He gently felt her buttocks and moved his arm down her leg to her calf.
Then, he proceeded up her inner thigh, stopping just at the uppermost portion of her leg. The husband continued in the same manner on her right side, then suddenly stopped, rolled over and became silent.
As she had become quite aroused by this caressing, she asked in a loving voice, “Honey, that was wonderful. Why did you stop?”
“I found the remote,” he mumbled.
Three women: one engaged, one married, and one a mistress, were chatting about their relationships and decided to amaze their men.... that night. All three will wear a leather bodice S&M style, stilettos and mask over their eyes . After a few days they meet again.....
The engaged girlfriend said: 'The other night, when my boyfriend came back home, he found me in the leather bodice, 4' stilettos and mask. He said, 'You are the woman of my life, I love you, then we made love all night long.'
The mistress stated: 'Oh Yes! The other night we met in the office. I was wearing the leather bodice, mega stilettos, mask over my eyes and a raincoat. When I opened the raincoat, he didn' say a word. We just had wild sex all night.'
The married one then said: 'The other night I sent the kids to stay at my mothers for the night, I got myself ready, leather bodice, super stilettos and mask over my eyes. My husband came in from work, grabbed the TV controller and a beer, and said, 'Hey Batman, what's for dinner ?'
here's one for ya's !
Yesterday I answered a knock on the door, only to be confronted
by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.
'Good morning,' said the young man. 'If I could take a couple of
minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the
very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners.'
'Go away!' I said. 'I haven't got any money!', 'I'm broke!' and proceeded to close the door.
Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and
pushed wide open. 'Don't be too hasty!' he said. 'Not until you have at
least seen my demonstration.' And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse
manure onto my hallway carpet.
'If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse
manure from your carpet, Sir, I will personally eat the remainder.
I stepped back and said, 'Well I hope you've got a F* .....n good appetite, because they cut off my
electricity this morning. What part of 'broke' do you not understand?
'What about trying Viagra?' asked the doctor.
'Not a chance', she said. 'He won't even take an aspirin.'
'Not a problem,' replied the doctor. 'Give him an 'Irish Viagra'. It's when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee. He won't even taste it. Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went.'
It wasn't a week later when she called the doctor, who directly inquired as to her progress... The poor dear exclaimed, 'Oh, faith, bejaysus and begorrah! T'was horrid! Just terrible, doctor!'
'Really? What happened?' asked the doctor.
'Well, I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate. He jumped straight up, with a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely! With one swoop of his arm, he sent me cups and tablecloth flying, ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop! It was a nightmare, I tell you, an absolute nightmare!'
'Why so terrible?' asked the doctor, 'Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasn't good?'
'Feckin jaysus, 'twas the best sex I've had in 25 years! But sure as I' m sittin here, I'll never be able to show me face in Macdonalds again

gill nets aka death curtains
Submitted by bod on Mon, 2009-11-09 14:03Watchdogs have called for better safeguards for fish stocks in international waters off Australia after the revelation that authorities confiscated a 130km fishing net off Antarctica this year.
The huge gillnet, found at Banzare Bank roughly 4000km south-west of Perth, had 29 tonnes of Antarctic toothfish, wildlife monitoring organisation TRAFFIC reported yesterday.
Gillnets, nicknamed "death curtains", snare big fish by the gills and are banned under the treaty governing Antarctic fishing.
The nets, which stand several metres high and are weighted to the seabed, can become "ghost nets" that continue to kill fish if lost and left in place.
The confiscated net was found in April by crew on the Customs vessel Oceanic Viking at a depth of 1500m before the ship hit headlines for the current asylum seeker stand-off.
Perth-based Antarctic fisherman Martin Exel was called to deal with the net, which was created from nine separate sections.
His trawler Southern Champion was only able to haul in 9km of the net and he destroyed the rest.
Mr Exel said two vessels were in the area at the time but neither owned up to casting the net.
He said it was frustrating that gillnets were being found in the Southern Ocean but praised Australian authorities for their willingness to crack down on illegal nets in international waters.
It also emerged this week that European Union officials granted permits to two Spanish vessels to deploy gillnets in international waters between Australia and New Zealand.
Deepwater gillnets are yet to be banned in much of the southern hemisphere because there is no international body to regulate southern fisheries.
TRAFFIC's marine program manager Glenn Sant said gillnets seriously undermined the conservation of toothfish and other species such as deepwater dogfish and school shark, which were widely used as sources of fish oil.
Mr Sant urged governments to ban fishing vessels from even carrying gillnets, particularly to protect toothfish stocks, which have been seriously depleted by overfishing.
Federal Fisheries Minister Tony Burke said officials would "take up the issue with EU representatives in a bilateral meeting in Auckland next week".
The meeting will move to create a body called the South Pacific Regional Fishing Management Organisation to regulate southern fisheries in international waters.
Australian and New Zealand delegates are expected to express anger at the EU for breaching a casual agreement not to establish any new fisheries before this organisation was created.

temperature and UV vs line
Submitted by scotto on Sun, 2009-11-08 16:23with the new security alarm finally installed in me new shed, i have finally got all my fishing gear neatly and securely stored away.
when i was chuckin the lawnmower back in there this arvo, i noticed how much hotter in the shed it was compared to outside. no real suprise, as its a colorbond (tin) shed and they do get warm in the sun, but it got me thinking about all the line on my reels. what also got the brain ticking over, was my rods are stored in the rack, which is directly under the fibreglass skylight sheet.
my question is, can the increased heat and filtered sunlight, damage the fishing lines (braid and mono) i use?

yesterday on the river
Submitted by fishing fanatic on Sun, 2009-11-08 12:36early yesterday moring we went of on our boat to mosman bay. we parked there for about 6 hours and while there me and my mate took the tender of and rode around to the beaches with some soft plastics and hard bodied lures. we were fishing for about 4 hours with not even a single wack on any of the lures(apart from blowies). so we went back to our boat and started rigging up the 2 bigger rods to get prepared for the night. at about 4 we went to black wall reach. once we got there we put my deep sea (50lb mono with 150 pound wire traces) and my mates rod (25 pound mono with 50lb trace) each of us had sliding sinker rigs with a whole scalie mack on. at about 5 o'clock my rod started going of. i picked it up and once i had tightned the drag getting ready for a strike it spat it out. at this same time my mates rod went of. it did about a 6 second run and then just stopped. he said it felt like he was stuck, then he started winding and it very very slowly came towards the boat. there was no movment in the line though so we though the fish had wrapped around a branch or something and had gotten of. as it was under the boat he started lifting slowly. it came up for a while but it was still to deep to see. then it did another run stragith under the boat and out the other side. once my mate had gotten to the other side it stopped again. then he started winding again. he didnt get much line up berfore it snapped of. we were even more suprised to see the 50lb snapped and not the 25lb main line. but when we felt the line it was rough so most likley it was cut on a rock. we stayed up fishing till 1 am with not a single other run what so ever. but the crabs did destroy our baits pretty fast. i also managed a very small tailor. it was a good day and even with the loss of that fish and nothing else it was still a very good day.

We sat down and had hot dogs on the beach. My wife has the whole dinner on the beach thing sussed out very well.
It was nice to finally actually meet another fishwreaked member fishing. What a one to meet it was a pleasure meeting you in person Colin . Pitty the fishing wasn't better but hey we were out there.
I have some pictures to post but the computer dosen't want to post them so maybe another day especially seen as none of them include fish LOL the only fish i saw was a little sand whiting in Colins bucket.
But all in all a realy nice way to spend the late afternoon and early evening.

Submitted by adamsmith84 on Sat, 2009-11-07 23:02Last time i was at harvey dam we tried various locations and tactics but we did not catch anything. Is the open water better near drop offs and sand banks or is fallen trees and logs.also it had been raining a few weeks and days before and the water level was high would this affect the fishing?
