Glad you found it funny.I worked out years ago that if the fish are there ,they don't care what gear your using within reason. Just look at guys like Yowie for eg the quality fish he catches on handlines. It's the same as anything I guess.I became a good golfer with my $300 clubs and got down to a 3 handicap (self taught)while there were guys I played with that spent thousands on the best gear and where shit. Same as trades people that have minimal gear and seem to be able to fix anything and there are some with all the best gear that I wouldn't let them change a tap valve. Look around there's examples everywhere. On a final note just because someone has a trade or is certified doesn't mean there any good.

I use shit gear ,that way I'm guaranteed even a thief won't want them and I can go back at my leisure to get them. Hope you get yours back.

Ive had pre/mix that old and just topped the tank up with fresh fuel/oil with no I'll effects . Agree Donna,I've noticed the quality of everything across the board has gone down hill from common household everyday items to large things like cars, boats,houses etc. The problem is people would scoff at the price they would have to pay if those items were made from better materials.

Can you pm me the bad ones?I'd be very interested to know for future reference. Cheers.

That was a disappointment.

Which ones should we stay away from?

Hi Neil,here's a article for you to read and make up your own mind.I run Yamalube in my engine with no I'll effect at 100:1 to date. http://www.saltwatersportsman.com/two-stroke-engine-oil-for-fishing-boat

Lol.Maybe they needed the ike jimne treatment.

Good one mate. Here's one for you. A busload of politicians were driving down a country road, when suddenly the bus ran off the road and crashed into an old farmer's barn. The old farmer got off his tractor and went to investigate. Soon he dug a hole and buried the politicians. A few days later, the local sheriff came out, saw the crashed bus and asked the old farmer where all the politicians had gone. The old farmer told him he had buried them. "Lordy, were they ALL dead?" asked the sheriff.The old farmer said, "Well, some of them said they weren't, but you know how them crooked politicians love to lie."

The same here,I spray wd or crc on my reels,line,rods and have done so for over 20 years without harm. Personally I think all these fancy lubes,oils etc are an expensive way of catching fisherman.Each to their own I guess.

Trailcraft isn't joking.People have used petroleum jelly for yonks in addition to sewing machine oil .

Couldn't welcome this more.They need another 1000 of them.

I think we just get feed up with all their lies and then toss a coin to decide which parties lies sound the best.

I think it's a matter of playing the patience game and not letting the tyre kickers get to you.

Keep this in mind come voting time. While walking down the street one day a Federal Politician is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in," says the man. "Well, I'd like to but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose were to spend eternity." "Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the politician. "I'm sorry but we have our rules." And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a club and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that, before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises. The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. "Now it's time to visit heaven." So, 24 hours pass with the head of state joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. "Well then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity." The politician reflects for a minute, then the senator answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell." So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now the door of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags. The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. "I don't understand," stammers the politician. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and club, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?" The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning...... Today you voted You new to grow a backbone and stand up for yourself mate.Tell the mrs that you are the boss,do as I say,Speak when asked like I do.Then quietly retreat to the bedroom,grab some clothes and a pillow and get comfortable outside with the dog for a little while.lol.

I need advice! I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. You know, just the usual signs: The phone rings and when I answer, the caller hangs up. Plus, she goes out with the girls a lot. I usually try to stay awake to look out for her when she comes home, but I always fall asleep. Anyway, last night about midnight, I woke up and she was not home. So, I hid in the garage, behind my boat and waited for her. When she came home, she got out of someone's car, buttoning her blouse. Then she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on. It was at that moment, while crouching behind my boat, that I noticed a hairline crack in the outboard motor mounting bracket. Is that something I can weld, or do I need to replace the whole bracket??? Plz any help would be appreciated i plan to go fishing this weekend!!

Your missing out on the "incredible fun" we have in Sydney dealing with the jetskiers.

Our legal system has a lot to answer for.

I realise that and that's where the law needs to change.How much evidence do you need for God's sake. Good on you Rick.The reason the country is going to the wolves is because people are afraid to stand up to these types of things and I can almost put the house on it that they will be the first to whine about lack of fish.Same with other idiots in life mate.Just the other night I had a carload of P players being smart coming home from work.One is still lying on the side of the road,another is going to have my fist removed from his mouth and teeth replaced by his dentist and the other 3 hero's fled and are probably still hiding under their mums dress.And I have a fist of missing skin with teeth marks. I Doubt these idiots will try to intimidate anyone in a hurry again. X 100000000

I volunteer to drive the xxxxxxx to the nearest airport.

This pisses me off!!Australia stop being so soft with these mongrels and show their faces,boat rego,car rego,where they live etc so people can "Gently" teach them why this sort of thing is wrong. I will be more than happy to pay them a visit.So over this bloody country. I apologise guys but to say it pisses me off is an understatement.Makes me want to go to all the popular fishing spots throwing peoples illegal catches in the water with them a close second behind. They wreck their country with this behaviour and they're wrecking ours. shits me.

I saw a boat in the hacking one night with them. From my observations they light up great but they where no where near within legal specs as they could be seen by me from pretty much directly behind them.

Because novices think the middle of the waterway is deeper and that is where all the fish are when I fact from the shore and boat you probably want to cast parallel to the shore line.

Guessing you could ask family/friends to baby sit her if you haven't already?Another thing is if you have friendly neighbours that currently Park on the street, perhaps they could park right in front and behind your boat.

That's a M6x1.25x30 mild steel bolt that's punctured the hull from the inside and has rusted.It shows all the common trademarks when this has occured in the past. Cheers.
