Well guys and girls we left Sydney Friday morning for the long trip to Coffs Harbour. Forgot how good it is up that way. We got to Coffs Friday arvo and had a look around, lots of work going on around the area new bypasses, plenty of new houses etc etc. Had a major problem with the landcruiser and at 500pm we were thinking who would be open considering the long weekend was coming up and could it be done straight away. So straight to the tackle shop after a quick chat the bloke gets on the phone to the Auto Leccys "Yeah m8 send him around" So to cut a long story short the problem was fixed with out a hassle in the world at one stage 2 blokes were on the car. We actually kept them open. Saturday we went round to give them some beers but they were closed. Actually should have known better as if they would be working on a saturday lol. Off to Bonnvile Sat to check the boat looked at it, went for a ride in it, bought it. Towed her back to Sydney Here she is Wish we had their attitude in Sydney. To the people of Coffs you are awesome and thanks.

Well heres the new beast "SMOKIN"

LOL 20 -30 KG, Well i know some of the boys went through over 500kg at a recent tourny. Just a thought.

Jewgaffer, only found the spot after looking closer lol. Funny its one of my favourite vantage points. Considering i look out i decided to look down and whala lol. Nah m8 it was just my squidgy spin outfit, but a lot of the ol fellas around my area that have fished the rocks for years use them, have seen hundreds of those outfits and yes they are still up in their garages lol. Gotta start talking to them for info!

Hey luderick59, we used weed inside. Was told this by an old bloke weed inside cabbage outside, neighbour had also heard this too. Neighbour and friend bagged out in the spot earlier in the week, he hadnt fished for blackies in 15 yrs lol they got great photos but dont want to put them up as they took the shots where they caught them and you can tell plain as day exactly where they fish so im not showin them lol.

Honestly dont care cause Easts arnt there, but if i have to go for anyone its gotta be and i Hate to say it but go the sea eagles.

Well went out yesterday morning before the wind hit, hadnt fished for blackies in years. Had been studying a spot in the Bay for months now and thought it worth a try. So the neighbour and i pull up start burleying and up they come 8 in the bag. Take a quick look out to sea and notice the wind change on a container ship coming in, no sooner had mentioned of wind change and it did, so quickly moved off for another two biggest of the day going 41cm and all extremely healthy fish. Havnt had it for ages so one went straight under the griller, forgotten how sweet the meat is! So to cut a long story short im back into niggas lol

Hey Rob are you talking about phase seperation? "This occurs when E10 or ethanol blended fuel absorbs moisture causing the ethanol to seperate from the gasoline. Moist air will cool to form condensation in every tank so there is a ready supply there. Keeping the tank full helps reduce the problem but may lead to a greater amount being contaminated. You cant remix it, you cant shake it, you cant put in additives to cure it. After seperation we have low octane fuel at the top, causing preignition or pinging. When enough ethanol reaches the fuel pick up a dose of 100% solvent runs through a system capable of only taking 10%." Thats what i read.

Thanks Chop, Tabsy what makes you say that? lol. Yes M8 have more photos but just got to resize them or something. Shes a 25ft Huntsman powered by a 260 hp in board merc, fuel tank 380 litres, outriggers, downriggers etc etc saw it at last years interclub and it was up for sale kept in constant contact with the owner and nows the time to grab it. Will be ready for its first outing October long weekend, where hopefully after all ceremonies are performed we will get stuck into the fishing. After checking out the past months ssts and making a wild prediction that this plume of red water is going to curl around and come back up as its starting to do, i think the cold eddy will push it in extremely close to our shore and possibly hold it there for a while, you just gotta watch the clouds above the horizon in the morning they hold the key to the warm water.

Well got the go ahead for the new toy, pick it up in three weeks from Coffs Harbour. ( Naughty Pottyword) cant wait!

At no cost your old EPIRB can be deposited into a recycle bin at you local Battery World store, in Sydney they are at Artarmon, Caringbah, Castle Hill, Girraween, Moorebank, Ryde, and Tempe or call 1800 406 406 Info supplied by NSW Water Police.

120 WTF

honestly try a bit of 100% pure coconut oil, youll be suprised.

Ah yes peahead but what is transmitted in that brief burst of data lol. Congrats to all so far hope you all pass!

Just went to the mail box, bingo its here. Pass of 82% yey!

Ive actually been passing the proverbial brick since i did the exam. When i got home i had a few beers then tried to remember some of the questions on the exam, pretty sure i remembered the lot. But it made it worse because i couldnt remember my answers! Now with the wait i think the worst LOL.

What did the maori say to the statue? "stat u bro"

Bob with cheque in hand after just receiving it from Donna. Big thanks for organising the course, just hope we all pass

Thanks guys, tax return just bought my Tiagra 50A loaded with 15kg of maxima and put on a Shimano 15kg Tcurve straight butt stand up!

Ihope everyones studied this week and just a reminder to bring a PASSPORT PHOTO for tomorrow dont forget it!

Must say the underwater footage of the mako swallowing that bait was awesome, how slow did he take it lol.

Wildfish, the colour took me 2 years to decide on. We tried to make it as close as possible to the blue water offshore, its hard explaining it to a panel beater who has only seen green water inside, but he nailed the colour on the fifth mix, thinking about mounting a gamechair on the tray for laughs.

Jesus grant, remind me never to go out on your boat with a sense of direction like that lol, if thats Watos Bay i will do a lap nude around the pub, along the beach and back to the club!

Yes it did look rather ominous, was great to stand under it and watch it all form up.
