Penn Torque 300 Test
Submitted by Gully on Wed, 2007-03-28 09:22Well to say the least these new reels are amazing.
Mine rigged with 80lb platypus superbraid performed like no other and is without a doubt the best reel I have ever used!!!! The amount of drag and pressure you can impart on a fish is sweet and the speed of retrieve is beyond belief. As Adam said when a shark tried to taste my nice red it was simply a matter of upping the rate and the red just flew past the shark and into the net.
What is also great about the reel is as the same suggests is the torque. Most high speed reels when under load can be a bitch to turn the handle but not with this one - it just keeps on going, and believe me I gave it the workout of its life with a 7 odd foot shark fully locked up for 1 and a half hours. Jeez I love this reel :)))
I have it matched to a custom 80lb jig stick (a hastings blank I think) from campbells and the rod is fantastic aswell and perfect for the reel although when I was cleaning it one day a nice sliver of coating decided to splinter off the rod and lodge itself nicely into my thumb. A knife and 20mins later it was finally removed so SHIZZA I will be back to get that bit fixed up. Apart from that though the rod is faultless and I cant wait to get it out to the sambo grounds and heave some up - they do not have a chance at all.
So there you have it it is the ultimate combo and well worth the money.
Cheers
Gully

Spess's joke time again!
Submitted by SPESS on Tue, 2007-03-27 17:08WHY FISHING IS BETTER THAN SEX!
When you go fishing and you catch something,thats good! If your having sex and catch something thats very bad!
Fish dont compare you to other fisherman and dont want to know how many other fish you have caught!
In fishing you lie about the one that got away, In sex you lie about the one you caught!
You can catch and release a fish and then you dont have to lie and say you'll stay friends after you let it go!
You dont have to necessarliy change your "LINE" to keep catching other fish!
You can catch a fish on a 20 cent soft plastic, if you want sex it costs you atleast a movie and dinner!
Finally fish dont mind if you fall asleep while your fishing!
Until next week this is spess's joke time!

sambos everywhere
Submitted by mike79 on Sat, 2007-03-24 23:21hell yeah boys today went out from safety bay ramp head out for some nice whiting out deep. noticed the wind dropping so we headed out to a spot i have that is renound for sambos. well had a session on sambos ranging from 5 kilo to the unstoppable on 15kg gear. session lasted bout 3 hours just constant jigging and baiting in 30 meters water. took two girls out and they were brilliant. never had a huge fight befor till now and they conquered the fishing styles. ended up with a small kingy and some nice skippy too. and we even got a nice dhuie of 57cm which tasted awsome tonight. how much fun is it to sit back and watch other people who never catch enjoy themselves with sport fish. absolute ball. heading back there for fun tommorow then head wide. every fish raised was released successfully even have three tags to report in. man what a day. will post photos over the next few days

Ocean Reef Saturday
Submitted by Tim on Wed, 2007-03-21 21:54For those that fish out of Ocean Reef I thought I would warn you your ramp could be a little busy this weekend.
The Australian Anglers Association is holding its 2006-07 State Boat Angling Championship on Saturday. Not sure how many boats will be there but I would say it would be a few.
If the comp gets cancelled Saturday it would be held on Sunday.

Sundays Day out
Submitted by SamC on Sun, 2007-03-18 19:52headed from freo at 6am this morn in search of some dollies and bottom bounce the derwent.
about 730 we hit furuno fad..there was nuthing there! trolled to pgfc..had one hook up but dropped, pretty sure it was a smallish tuna.
we went past pgfc, there was nuthing there...finding it hard to get a dolly at this time
trolled to fremantle sailing club fad..didnt think we were gonna get anything there but we managed a average sized dolly plus saw heaps more dollies on that fad but no boats were getting them except mine, even with baits..my first mahi, so i was pretty stoked.
twas a bit busy at all the fad so we set out to the derwent for a bottom bounce!!!
200m of water...it kills ahha
we pulled a couple of fish off that including 10kg grey banded cod, 6kg mulloway, 2 45cm pinkies and heaps of good sized red snapper...
had some major bust off as we'll...one guy on the boat got spooled!! theres some serious fish down there
anyway we fished that for 3 or 4 hrs and did well..then we went for a bit of a troll after that and picked up some small tuna, and by that time the ocean was soo flat..never seen it so calm!
by then it was about 2pm so we decided to head in around rotto for some dhuies..unfortunatley there was no drift at all which sucks when your bottom fishing, so we called it a day and returned to the harbour about 6pm this arvo!
not a bad day by all means, ended up with..1 dolly, 1 cod, 1 mulla, 2 tuna, 5 red snapper, 1 sea perch and 2 pinkies
havent uploaded the photos yet fellas but as soon as i do ill post them up!!
cheers

Joke: Jim and Edna
Submitted by sherbert on Fri, 2007-03-16 17:29Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act, she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news, she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged. Since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."
Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry." ."How soon can I go home?"
Joke: Four Daughters
Submitted by sherbert on Fri, 2007-03-16 17:29This guy has four daughters who all live at home. one Friday night the doorbell rings. The guy answers it and a kid standing there says "Hi, I'm Freddy. I'm here to pick up Betty. We're gonna go eat spaghetti. Is she ready?"
The man, mildly amused calls down his daughter and the two leave.
A few minutes later the doorbell rings again and he answers. A kid standing there says "Hi, I'm Jim. I'm here to see Kim. We're gonna go for a swim. Can I come in?"
The guy, now perplexed, says yes and the two take off.
A few minutes later the doorbell rings and again the father answers. A kid standing there says "Hi, I'm Joe. I'm here to pick up Flo. We're gonna go to the show. Can she go?"
The man, now kind of annoyed says yes and the two depart
Sure enough, a few minutes later the door rings and the father answers. A kid standing there says "Hi, I'm Chuck.."
The father shot him.
Joke: Three Hang Gliders
Submitted by sherbert on Fri, 2007-03-16 17:28It’s a dark night, a cold wind is blowing and a campfire flickers under the stars twinkling in the blackened sky.
Three hang-glider pilots are sitting by the campfire, one from Australia, one from South Africa and one from New Zealand.
Each is trying to prove they are the toughest. The night of tales begins…
Kiven the Kiwi says, "I rickon I must be the meanest, toughest, heng-glider there is, bro. Why, jist the other day I linded in a field and scared a crocodile, who came out of the swamp and ate six men who were standen close by. I grebbed the crocodile and wristled him to the ground and then killed him with my beer hends."
Hansie from South Africa pipes up, thinking that he has one better, and says, "Check it out, you guys: I lended orfter a 200-kilometre flight in my heng-glider on a tiny trail, and a Namibian snike slid out from under a rock and made a move on me. I grebbed de borsted with me bare hinds and bit ’is head off ind then sucked the poison from its body down in one gulp. End I’m still here standing next to you two in front of this fire today."
Bazza the Aussie remained silent, slowly poking the fire with his penis
Fridays joke
Submitted by dogsoldier on Fri, 2007-03-16 08:10A man took weekend fishing trips twice a month. His wife got used to them, and was sure to have all of his things packed when he came home after work on Friday. After some months of the same routine, she became concerned as to whether or not he actually was going fishing, but without any proof she wasn't going to confront him. One Sunday evening after returning from his "fishing" weekend, he confronted his wife. "All I ask from you is that you have my things ready when I get home from work. And this weekend, you forgot to pack me any clean underwear. Do you have any idea how I feel wearing the same underwear for 3 days?" The wife defended herself, "I didn't forget to pack your clean underwear." He snapped back, "Well, I didn't have any hen I got to the lake. Where'd you pack them, they weren't in my suitcase." "No, " she replied, "this time I packed them in your tackle box."
