  1. Great report.

    But, I don’t like the fact that you couldn’t release this fish. You tell of the fight the fish put up and how much you enjoyed it. But yet, seem only to happy to understand and acknowledge that all that came from the fight was a kill. By tagging a juvenile Black Marlin (not killing it) we will be able to study them and have more chances of fighting these fish in the future. I understand why you think you needed the trophy, but there is more to gain than a fish on a wall, it’s a healthier fishery that with any luck our future generations will be able to enjoy. Why not appreciate the Marlins plight and let them 'fight' another day.

  2. Howdy all, well here goes, went out to browns on Sunday after we missed the chance to go out last sunday and due to far to many beers being downed on sat night we left home at 8 and didnt get to browns until about 11- or 12 ish, we started off trowling and then moved onto cubing as we have a fuel hungry 200 and its a killer on the wallet. It started off really slow but then i ask the old man what time we are leaving and he says wind them in in about 2 mins, like clockwork we get a double hook up with 2 small fin, the 30 mins later he says (i kid you not) we better head of in about 3 mins, then BANG, dads was hooked on to something filthy big and had to tiagra with 50 pound line locked into full drag, and it was still peeeeeeeling the line of, we couldnt believe it, then the other tiagro goes off, and we had a double, dads lines snapped and we were all spewing as it was a really decent fin, better than the one we boated later, it went 22 kilo dont know the length. So we lost about 5 hookups, just too hungover me thinks.

    15 mins later dads rod bends over something savage and line was screaming off, my mate said he saw the yellow fin and it was a monster but the dumb ass didnt notice the other fins and 10 mins into the fight a monster mako comes flying out of the water and freaks us all out, we had it about 2 metres away from the gaff, this was a monster mako, it was half the length of the boat so about 2.5 metres, i should go measure where it was to the boat it really killed me loosing that shark coz it would have been a prize it was a dead set monster. But because we were fishing for fin, we didnt have a trace on. Anywho, one last fish was caught when i was dropping a bait to the bottom i got hit by something, kept it coz a mate said it was edible, but wouldnt mind your help, thanks fellas.

  3. Well the weather is looking very fine for sunday, so im hoping my old man doesnt get called into work like last weekend, we were meant to head to the shelf, but fingers crossed the action will get hotter this weekend haha, can it get hotter. Chasing fin, wish us luck.

  4. How are you all fellas, best thread ever.

    I have a Gibson epephone semi, 12 string washburn, i have been playing about 12 years now, best thing in the world, i mainly play woody/arlo guthrie folk type stuff, have completed my first full song, its been a long long time in the making and im stoked with it. I love finger picking, its something that has endless posibilities. Im 22 and cant wait too see where i end up in 30 years, just have to keep my fingers out of the path of the chainsaws. Once again great thread, what does style do you all play, or is it a mixture, i dont play electric, never have, and doubt i will, acoustic really does it for me.

  5. it was working fine last night, but i tried to get on it today and its carked it. spare in mind i am a spastic with computers, but the previous sites you showed didnt achieve anything, i have the live messenger 8, everything i have done it still keeps comming up with the same message, i have deleted it and installed it again, run virus checks checked the firewall,

    you know when you press ctr alt del and it comes up with the processes, is there anything in there that could be causing the problem, are they called trojens or something? thanks again, if i dont figure it out soon, i will have a whole through the window and wont be seeing what fish are caught tomorrow

    by the way i have xp pro, maybe i should have baught xp dumb ass, hmm
