Well done on the Kings guy's. Gee how fantastic to have those Kings on the surface and taking poppers as well. I thought Pat was saving all those poppers for Cape York.

Well it is time for a quick update. I have fixed the windscreen on in laws car, I suggested to my wife that her skirt meet an untimely end, my penalty shopping for a new skirt this Saturday quite harse considering the facts and Saturday does look good for a fish. The most important thing 3 days at work and nothing has happened YAHOO!

Good fish Mako, make a very tasty treat. Good to see you can start late and still catch a couple for a feed.

A nice reward for a good days fishing, lovely and tasty well done guys

I had decided to take 3 days off work to spend sometime with the kids and also get a fish in. For those that don’t know I moved house 8 weeks ago and I have not been fishing in months so I am a bit toey. Anyway let me tell you how I went! Tuesday night wife yells from the shower “no hot water” ok maybe the kids have emptied it, seeing I was the last to have a shower anyway no big deal wait till tomorrow. Up Wednesday no hot water inspect tank appears element has gone, interestingly 10 year warranty expired August. Ring for new hot water system, no worries can be installed today. Ok so I am taking my wife out for lunch so the kids are being looked after by in laws. Jump in car and over we go. On the way back wife rings, the garbage truck has run into the side of my new Commodore, “great”, get home every panel on the drivers side damaged, oh well. Luckily the in laws are going away for a few weeks so I can borrow their car. Decided to take my 2 oldest boys to War Memorial in Canberra Thursday. As we are about to leave oldest son says he is not feeling well, dad says “no worries you’ll be right”. We arrive @ War Memorial son not well, so a quick tour then move on, we go to the Science museum, son now throwing up, okay time to leave Canberra. As we near Marulan other son says he is feeling sick. I tell him to let me know if he is going to ***** to late, he throws up all over the seat and floor of the 4wd. Stop at Marulan to clean mess, nothing to clean it with but a skirt my wife left in the car, ok she can kill me later, mess cleaned up and skirt disposed of. Arrive home 8.00pm. Awake Friday morning everyone bar me throwing up, I have to clean the car properly so I get that done and decide to wash it as well, it has been raining but the suns out and looks clear. Car washed and now for the first time in a year I wax it, 1 hour later it’s done, 2 minutes later its raining again. Go inside to empty bucket's beside beds. Saturday wife still not well and 2 of the kids, it’s a stay at home day. Sunday my hopes are high, but alias my wife is still ill, she starts to feel better by days end so I am allowed to go to the club to lubricate my spirit, which will be 2 beers then back home. Decide to take in laws car, come out of the club and someone has thrown a rock which has cracked the entire front windscreen . I cant wait till tomorrow when I go back to work!

Very nice boat! Its always good to see another Crusher on the water, best of luck with her and good fishing.

Add me to the list. Thanks

Some good fish well done, good squid is expensive but it make the difference.

Yeah sounds good Donna, I would be keen.

Stewy As is the case with most people I think the site is great. From my point of view I would like the users on line to be at the top of the page or side, that way as soon as you logon you can see who's on line, I know I often get caught up in reading the posts and forget to look at bottom of the page. This might increase the numbers using live chat as well. The picture posting limit has been a problem bu if thats been increased great.

Thats a great effort lovely fish, makes me want to get my dads old black queen out.

Good to see you guys got out and had a go, unfortunate to loose the fish at the boat but thats fishing, at least you had a YFT on, there is always next time. Tough break on the sea sickness James.

Tremendous effort on that fish guys, hard work when you dont have the right gimbal and harness. TUna steaks for a year and

Roylo, I have 3 Saltigas and I love them, they arent as smooth as the Stellas but the drag is superb and they are tough. I agree with Red that you will probably get around 270 to 300 metres.

Great effort on the Flatties, that will keep you in fillets for a while.

Well done Bob, cuttlefish is a good size and great eating or bait.

Sounds like a nice session, good size to pop your cherry on.

Crikey's Jani that sounds cold! although the Beer with Cognac sounds like that would certainly help. It sounds like you made the most out of the conditions some of those look pretty ugly, nasty teeth on the wolf fish. Congratulations on getting engaged .

Another great social always good to catch up with mates. Top effort again by Stewy and Donna and special thaks to Ross for the informative and entertaining evening.

Great fish Iain, you have covered a lot of miles to get that beauty and you have to be happy with the result especially on 15kg. You will be eating Tuna for a year.

Top looking rig James, look forward to seeing some reports when you get her in the water.

Top stuff Iain you were sure to find them sooner or later thats a "Real Addiction", glad the Crusher performed well. Dont get used to fishing in 35 footers there is no 10 metre Crusher yet.

Great to see you onboard Pete , looks like a great setup in the shop, keep it stocked Fishraiders love their gear

A great fish and a great read, top stuff!

Check out fishing trips, looks like a few guys going out.
