Fabulous trevally! Well done

Well done! Nice size for you first Jew.

Thanks guys. It was a beautiful day.

It's been a while since we've been fishing and yesterday was a beautiful day for it on Botany Bay. We launched at Kyeemagh Boat Ramp Reserve about 7am. It was a little choppy but calmed down to a perfect day on the Bay. We drifted at various places in the Bay without any success so we decided to anchor in a 5 - 6 metre deep area roughly in middle. With pilchard and prawns out, I finally started getting bites about 11.15 am. I ended up with 5 flathead 30 - 45cm and 1 squire. We bagged 3 flathead and threw all the undersized fish back and decided to head home and beat the arvo traffic. Geoff cleaned them and I filleted them cooking them lightly dusted in flour and seasoning then shallow frying in pan. They were great! Can't wait for our next fishing day.

Thanks Stewy and Donna. Just got home for War Horse. We really enjoyed it.

Congratulations Grant.

I didnt't make the cake. It's just a digital cake (who ever did make it should be proud of it)

Happy Birthday Stewy!!! We hope you have a wonderful day. Best wishes Lyn and Geoff.

good luck.

60hp 4 stroke Mercury,

I love our Ranger. It took us years to find the boat that we were both extremely happy with. As a 50+year woman my search had different criteria to my husbands. We have fished Lake Jindabyne, Lake Glenbawn, The Nepean, the Harbour and Botany Bay (and a few other places). We have been caught out in some very rough weather both on the bay and Lake Glenbawn and found the Ranger to handle conditions very well (although I don't want to experience that again). I love the higher sides and the wider gunwale. The width is wider than most the boats we were looking at which makes it more stable when we are walking around. The walk through bow is one of Geoff's favourite features. Geoff also mounted an electric motor to the bow see here http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=29655 Good luck with your choice. Feel free to contact Geoff (Mr Dalucius) or myself by pm if you have any questions. Regards Lyn

A friend of mine posted this info on Facebook overnight I thought you might find it as interesting as I did I had a neighbor who bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do.... probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open. Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. I was impressed! WD-40 who knew? "Water Displacement #40". The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953, by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'Water Displacement' Compound. They were finally successful for a formulation, with their fortieth attempt, thus WD-40. The 'Convair Company' bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts. Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you. When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as on glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop. It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed. WD-40 Uses: 1. Protects silver from tarnishing. 2. Removes road tar and grime from cars. 3. Cleans and lubricates guitar strings. 4. Gives floor that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery. 5. Keeps the flies off of Cows, Horses, and other Farm Critters, as well. (Ya gotta love this one!!!) 6. Restores and cleans chalkboards. 7. Removes lipstick stains. 8. Loosens stubborn zippers. 9. Untangles jewelry chains. 10. Removes stains from stainless steel sinks. 11. Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill. 12. Keeps ceramic / terracotta garden pots from oxidizing. 13. Removes tomato stains from clothing. 14. Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots. 15. Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors. 16. Keeps scissors working smoothly. 17. Lubricates noisy door hinges on both home and vehicles doors. 18. It removes that nasty tar and scuff marks from the kitchen flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks. 19. Remove those nasty Bug guts that will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! 20. Gives a children's playground gym slide a shine for a super fast slide. 21. Lubricates gearshift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers... 22. Rids kids rocking chair and swings of squeaky noises. 23. Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open. 24. Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close. 25. Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as vinyl bumpers. 26. Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles. 27. Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans. 28. Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for easy handling. 29. Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly. 30. Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools. 31. Removes grease splatters from stovetops. 32. Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging. 33. Lubricates prosthetic limbs. 34. Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell). 35. Removes all traces of duct tape. 36. Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain. 37. Florida's favorite use is: 'cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers.' 38. The favorite use in the state of New York, it protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements. 39. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states. 40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch. 41. It is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray it on the marks and wipe with a clean rag. 42. Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone! 43. If you spray it inside a wet distributor cap, it will displace the moisture, allowing the engine to start. Lyn

We always knew the the real champion was. Well done Donna!! Oh, ok, you too Stewy. Thanks for all your hard work.

Classic!

I have been a member of Fishraiders for over 7 years and although I don't make a lot of posts or get to fish more than a few times a year I visit the site daily. No matter what I need to know I can always find the answers here in the forum with a simple search. I love seeing everyone's pictures and results after their fishing trips and it makes me keener to get out there and try for myself. The amount of info here is astounding and if it is not here just post a question and someone will give you the answer. The boat ramp section is also great you can check them out without leaving your home. Regardless whether online or in person everyone is friendly and willing to help you with their special tips. And where else can you enter a monthly fishing comp with great prizes. Thanks Admin and mods for a great job and please keep it up. I forgot the SOCIALS they were always fun and very informative.

Glad you're back I was having withdrawals Happy New Year to you all.

I haven't had a chance to be on here for a couple of days. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and Geoff and I wish you all a Happy New Year

Wow what a monster. Nice catch.

What a fantastic report! It sounds like you had a great time with some cracker fish. Awesome pictures and I love the croc one. Keep up the good work. Lyn

Thanks Roberta. We always use spinnerbaits at Glenbawn. It was a bit hairy but with Geoff on the minn kota and a few quick maneuvers we got it in the net. If only it wasn't so hot there. We will have to catch up soon Regards Lyn
