Holly Cow

Did anyone else see the size of the cow on channel seven news tonight. Talk about big I have never heard of cattle getting that big 6 4 at the shoulder that is a lot of bovine. If you ran into that at night in the patrol or land cruiser your car would most certainly come of second best

Những người trúng số hơn 1 tỷ USD vẫn chưa được lộ diện 

Friedrich Mayrhofer chỉ cách một chuyến bay nữa để trở nên giàu với hơn 50 triệu đô la Canada. Nhưng anh đã đợi gần hai năm để thực hiện. Người trúng giải độc đắc Lotto Max tháng 3 năm 2014 cho biết anh lo lắng về việc dòng tiền đến đột ngột và sự nổi tiếng đi cùng có thể ảnh hưởng đến cuộc sống yên tĩnh của gia đình anh ở khu đô thị khiêm tốn Langley, British Columbia.

"Tiền rất tốt, nhưng ưu tiên hàng đầu là gia đình tôi", ông nói với Langley Times vào tháng 12. Trong 21 tháng, trong khi cư dân BC suy đoán về những người chiến thắng giấu tên bí ẩn của xổ số XSMB hom nay, Mayrhofer kín đáo làm việc để tìm cách nhận giải thưởng nặc danh. Anh ta suy ngẫm về tác động của tiền và nhầm lẫn thông qua luật sư và cố vấn tài chính.

Thận trọng và tỉ mỉ khi nhận thưởng

Cuối cùng, ngay trước hạn chót anh ta đã tuyên bố chiến thắng, Mayrhofer đã ký gửi vé cho một người thụ hưởng giấu tên và gửi luật sư đến Toronto để nhận giải thưởng nhưng Lotto Max sẽ không trao séc. Tiền trúng xổ số KQXSMB phải được yêu cầu bởi các cá nhân, tổ chức công khai.

Cuối cùng miễn cưỡng Mayrhofer thực hiện chuyến đi đến Toronto để chấp nhận tiền thắng cược của anh năm ngoái. Bây giờ anh ta giàu hơn 50 triệu đô la Canada, nhưng không kém phần kín đáo; Khi được hỏi anh ta có thể làm gì với số tiền này, anh ta nói với Langley Times rằng gia đình anh ta dự định xây lại nhà, mua một số đồ nội thất mới và "có thể đi nghỉ mát".

Chúng tôi vẫn không biết hai trong số những người trúng giải độc đắc 1,5 tỷ đô la Mỹ của Powerball, một tuần sau khi rút thăm. Dù họ là ai, bất kể lý do của họ là gì, họ đều dành thời gian trước khi tuyên bố một phần của khoản thanh toán xổ số lớn nhất trong lịch sử Hoa Kỳ.

Ẩn danh khi nhận giải

Điều đó là bình thường, hầu hết các chuyên gia nói. Tony Bitonti, người phát ngôn của Tập đoàn Xổ số và Trò chơi Ontario nói với CTV sau khi giải độc đắc 64 triệu đô la Mỹ không được công bố trong hai tuần.

"Họ muốn nói chuyện với các cố vấn tài chính, họ muốn nói chuyện với luật sư và các thành viên gia đình, bởi vì đó là 64 triệu đô la Mỹ đó là chuyện thay đổi cuộc sống." Năm 1984, Mike Wittkowski đã giành được 40 triệu đô la Mỹ trong xổ số Illinois - giải độc đắc lớn nhất từng được trao cho một người Mỹ vào thời điểm đó.

Những người lạ gửi một lời đe dọa đánh bom và hơn 1.000 lá thư yêu cầu chia sẻ tiền mặt. "Có một người phụ nữ đã viết cho tôi một lá thư đánh máy dài 21 trang và nói rằng cô ấy đã trả giá xuống tới 20 đô la Mỹ cuối cùng," Wittkowski nói. "Nó tốn 19 đô la Mỹ chỉ để gửi thư."

New wave buoys offshore of Watermans Bay and Sandpatch/Albany

All,

UWA has recently developed a website (www.wawaves.org) to display real-time data from two wave buoys, one 10 km west of Watermans Bay and a second just offshore of Sandpatch in Torbay/Albany. We are also planning to deploy two additional buoys in the next ~6 months, one NW of Rottnest and second in deep water offshore of Albany/Denmark. All historic data can be downloaded from the website (free for non-commercial use). The data from these buoys is provided as a service to the community so please don’t run over, tie off to, or steal the buoys.

Enjoy!


Guilderton/Moore River advice

Got some time in lieu and im thinking of going to Guilderton/Moore river for the weekend. Just wondering if anyone lives nearby or have been recently and can give a report on the weed (if there is any)

I know north of the groyne/lighthouse does alright, but south has some deep guttersd and some ok breaks judging by google maps. I got a ford ranger but my rubber isnt the best for sand, but i should be able to get close to most areas. Probably going to fish about 4oz of lead and use some mullet strips and bring some light gear for whiting.

 

The mulloway itch is pretty bad after coming back from Kalbarri. 

 

Any advice on the current conditions or sandtracks would be appreciated :)


How to actually catch something this season, occy pot (aka waste of space)

So a good mate of ours has one of those plastic occy pots, that is square, with the flashing crab that goes at the back, has the snap shut trapdoor etc. despite it being deployed amongst crayfish country that has yeilded good results (on the crayfish front) for the past 2 years, the bloody occy pot hasn’t caught so much as a cold! 

Having tried the same ground as where the crays come from (you get the odd Occy in cray pots each year after all), different depths, replacement of the “pressure sensitive” flashing crab, adjustment of the trapdoor tension etc, the bloody thing has never caught a single occy in its life.

 

so my question is this, has anyone else got much the same pots? Have they caught anything? What sort of ground is it best to deploy the overpriced, and overrated octopus hotel in? Sandy bottom, or straight on the reef etc.

any pointers would be appreciated. The goal is to have this overpriced disco pipe (the crab flashes apparently) catch at least 1 or 2 occy’s this cray season. Advice and responses on the matter would be appreciated. Scano


Cray rope rules

Pretty simple and great idea. Look at picture . Small float in case someone cuts you of.( very unlikely). 3 big links of of chain. Extend rope by 5 meters . Another words add 5 meters to main rope , to pot line.if you get cut off. Good chance in getting pot back.chain slides off little float pops up.anyway just an idea for new potters. Makes boating safer done it for years. Great rule by fisheries in my books


KG's

Quick little session. Yummo.

Reels in Pelican Cases, photos?

 Hey Guys,
Considering getting a pelican case to protect my beloved spinning reels through airports and general travel. Just made myself a little template with paper and am arranging them all to see how they would fit. Can anyone post of up photos of their current setup to give me some ideas?
Feel free to chip in ideas about how thin you can make the foam, how many reels, ideal sizes etc..
Cheers lads.

New to the forum, but look forward to joining in on the discussions and stories!

Heading up to Shark Bay, looking at staying at Monkey Mia, intend on taking the boat with us, can anyone let me know what the boat ramp is like to launch a 2400 Noosa?

Cray dive and swimmer

A mate of mine has a cray license and wants to go for a free dive on the weekend for crays. I don't have a license and was wondering if I went swimming/ snorkeling with him and fisheries pulled up there will be a issue? Note I will not be diving for crays.


I know it is getting closer to Christmas

 But I was stunned at the price of fish fillets at Kailis yesterday, Dhuie was $89.95 per kilo, many of the other more common species, snapper, goldband, red emp etc all over $55 a kilo. Having recently eaten gurnard in NZ and being very pleasantly surprised at how good it was, saw some also for sale at the same place.

On a lighter note, shhhhhhh, wind looking good to get the boat wet in the morning
