Ok guys, here is a chance to save some money ... get in quick before the price rise tomorrow Click Here C'Mon Iain

A better ride is just the start The Boat Show is on the 28th July - 2nd August 2005 Boat Show Go for a ride in the boats you are interested in ... before you go to the boat show. Call Wakd ... THE Poly Expert P.S. I am NOT sponsored by anyone, I support any great product/service I buy ... and will bag any poor products/service.

Hells Bells Ben ... you're getting quick Hi kevvie, I had a 2001 4.35 Stacer Barra for 4 years, and was delighted with it But now that have a Polycraft, I would also recommend you go for a ride in a 4.1m Challenger before you make a decision.

The tinnie has been upgraded, but the optional machine gun was NOT in the brochure ... must be aftermarket. Like Will Smith says ... "I have got to get me one of those"

Ah Iain, I wondered about your reasoning ... I couldn't understand how you could be so comitted to doing all you can for the betterment of fisho's and then refuse to buy a licence. Now that you have supplied your reasons, I will happily get off your case. ... a little anyway

I wonder... If motor driven boats have to give way to sail power .... how does a tinnie with a 6hp motor doing 4knots get out of the way of a kite surfer pumping along at 30knots The kite passes overhead .... closely followed by the ratbag on the board passing overhead while doing a laid-back-twisty-loopy-flippy ... nearly taking someone's head off and proceeding to zoom off to the horizon Shouldn't these things have rego numbers on them ... or at least have a season ... similar to duck season

Iain, One question ... Now that all Fishraiders have a couple of mobile phone numbers to contact fisheries officers can we report ANYTHING illegal $200.00 would buy 8 years worth of licence

Sounds like a job for the Poly Check out the Polycraft 4.1m Poly 4.1 Good Luck

There is a bait/tackle shop in Miranda (Sydney) with the same name Very brave.

Dammit now the licence that many people don't have will cost more the next time they don't buy one. Does the $200.00 fine for not having a licence go into the trusts?

Can only help with the 4.55 ... Mudguard to mudguard is 1910mm I doubt the 4.1 can be any wider.

$12.95 @ Whitworths

Yeah, I can see how well you understand it. So, Iain, Is this how you still feel?

Allen, If you are going to complain about a tax ... try the fuel tax where every dollar you spend puts over 40 cents into the governments pocket .... these funds are NOT spent roads they disappear into revenue Fact ... all licence fees are placed into trust and ONLY spent on projects decided on by the revelant commitees ... OUR money spent on OUR fishery ... if you want to have your say on how it is spent follow the link I provided. How many people remember the outcry over the "collosal cost" involved in buying out the pros when the fishing licence was introduced? ... NOW they have not gone far enough and every pro should have been removed. Fair go! Perhaps the licence should be double what it is so the pros could be removed faster ... go on Allen ... tear your hair out Iain, So why no licence? ... at least then it will be OUR money being spent on OUR fishery If everyone had a licence there would be more money for buying the pros out ...

Nice try and full marks for effort Bashir It was getting a little too serious in here Now let me finnish trying to win Iain over with the proverbial glass bead necklace

Gotta agree Bluecod, being transparent is important … being accountable is critical too. Yes Iain the pros were mostly responsible for the state of our estuaries. The fishermen of today are being asked to pay for years of mismanagement of the entire system, as unfair as this may be at least it is happening … Perhaps the whole system should have been thrown into the sewer along with those responsible … While we are at it, let’s ban duck shooting, stop mining all natural resources, logging will be fully outlawed and jaywalkers shot on sight … we can give Australia back to the rightful owners too … Meanwhile back in the real world ….. Change can take time and the right sort of change may take a very long time, but change for the better is happening. I pay for my fishing licence, like I pay for my boat drivers licence … those who refuse to buy a licence face fines as they flout the law. Nothing would please me more than the TOTAL removal of all pros from every estuary and it will happen … one day. Being critical of the system on this forum will not get more pros off the water ... you could make a recommendation to the committee that they concentrate on buying the pros out ... I will support it wholeheartedly … and I would buy you a fishing licence For your sake and the sake of my children and their children I will continue to buy a licence ... it has helped a lot in only a few years

Bloody knockers The license has been a great thing for areas that were almost barren of fish only a few years ago ... education for adults, ethnic groups and children has been undertaken ... research into the needs of many fish species has been accomplished ... many hundreds of nets have been retired permanently.... many ongoing projects are being funded ... You guys are way off base ... Where is our money going? Anyone can make a submission for funds ... Guide for Applicants Have you a project in mind? Go on, make a difference ... instead of whinging or sitting on the fence.

Hi Geoff, I have a Polycraft Frontrunner 4.55 and the hull is awesome, the ride and stregnth are incredible Go for a test run I have had the same plastic ( polyethelene ) rainwater tank for 10 years and it hasn't changed ... check the pic! Check the delivery times on the 5.99 before you order one because there were some supply problems due to huge demand.
