dont know about that Penguin, but it has its perks I'll throw one more pic in coz Skaifes looks so nice

Slowly getting there Stewy that complete bathroom reno took a while. Would probably take a tradesman a week or two took me 6 months

I was thinking the exact same thing.......good work how long a trace under the float I wonder?.......I know there are a lot of those fish near me

On the tarmac at AKL intl before loading being loaded inside the freighter

Hi Raiders, just off work from sending the V8s back to OZ. Nice to see interesting freight for a change. Was at work for 14 hours today as we had to wait for 2 747 freighters to take the cars back

Outstanding!! What a great photo.........and all before work

to All of you! Hope you have a great day

Come on over Mate!

yeah sorry I got that wrong ....I guess I should of said maybe Bee Venom makes them rub their........ I always read your well thought out posts with interest Mondo

With all due respect I'll keep my own opinion on this issue Mondo I did read some of Dr Carls study on some 20 trout.... it could be that using anescetic on fish makes them rub their mouths in gravel couldnt it? I reckon I've probably had more experience with fish than Mr Carl so I reckon no pain

Wow, thanks for your informative response CnR I did a google search and was amazed to see many of the results suggested that fish can feel pain. Of course very little of their research was fact based rather supposition that some of the receptors in their brain could feel pain by comparing them with that of human receptors. I think our brain is a tad more complex than that of a fish....... Like you said much talk was about the neo-cortex Another query posed was whether or not they had a consciousness or not....are they aware of what they are doing or is it all instinct. All instinct and no pain is my opinion Ps forgot to add that I hope everything is well with you and recent Baby GrantM

Bluefin, hope that you have a GREAT day!!

Just tell the that its the very best flood insurance going Although you guys dont get much rain do you?

I'd like to reserve one of those beanies please

What makes you think that fish feel pain? I'm not so sure, and I tend to think not

We did mention that it was of good size but didnt think to measure it. Next time

Looks like you guys had fun.........and now totally offtopic, does the Frangipani flower well in Sydney Donna? I'm sure that we're too cold over here but I'd like to plant one and see as they are such a pretty flower

If Johns was playing I would watch the game whether I cared for the teams or not. Impact player to say the least , in a league above the rest IMHO

Dave believe it or not I'm having a hard time keeping the nose down. May need trim tabs Actually my next door neighbour is boat sitting for his mate, so we decided to blow off some of the cob webs for him. James I believe there is only one John Dory but many varieties of Dory I've read that the John Dory is found in many parts of the world

G'day Raiders been a while so I really should post something Heres a very recent John Dory that was most welcome in the boat. Have been working too much on the house to fish much this year but next year ..look out!

Great report there A. D.and congrats on your first Kingy.....must be good Karma from helping your friends

Great day there Penguin

Great Pic, now wheres the story?

Man my vision must be going.......I've been searching that list and cant see the Warriors anywhere If it wasnt for the 4 pt salary cap penalty last year.....

Astute observation there Ben, it is very fresh , water comes in from the left of the picture at high tide or swells I guess..there were some somewhat tropical little fish swimming asround in her. And no that blonde aintmine ....my mrs was there swimmin too however I'm in California as I type this and cant post a pic
