Ouch!!! Always have the sunnies on. Do you know if he kept his eye and had any sight left?

Yeh maybe because Berrick was 15, 16 years old when at the broncos, not many kids get first grade starts at that age. League is a better game than soccer but its diminishing due to financial woes and the worsening quality of the game through teams like melbourne bringing in wrestling crap and idiotic selectors and people in charge making stupid rules. Serious changes need to be made in league in order for it to survive but nobody seems to be doing anything about it.... And if you hadn't noticed the Wallabies are doing pretty well with players like Berrick Barnes and Ryan Cross, they've won 6 out the last 7 games and look in good shape to take out the tri-nations. That is more league selectors not opening their eyes to the quality in front of them as well as not developing and keeping valuable players in the game. Again you can't really compare skills because of the different rules and jobs of players in certain positions. It would be good to see a league vs union team with say each set of rules per half.

Well done on the squid. I know they make great bait, but i reckon they're better to eat, especially outside kingie season.

I agree that the league rules are crap but union the rules are being changed as the way the game being played changes over time to make it a better game. E.g. the modern day athlete is fitter and stronger so can endure more and perform at their peaks for longer, that is why they change rules such as passing back into the 22 and kicking out on the full to be not allowed under the ELV's. Most of Australia will be playing the ELV's (experimental law variations) to some extent from next year onwards as will many parts of the world although the northern hemisphere won't be cooperating. I'm a union referee so i'll pm you answers to any law queries you may have mariner. Cheers Josh

Well thats because soccer revolves around kicking a ball accurately so thats obviously what they practise all the time and it comes more naturally to them. A rugby player has to practise much more aspects as kicking is only a small part of the game which makes that guy look good and it is, as a rugby kicker i know that isn't an easy kick. Just thought i'd throw this in there, doesn't prove much but anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMeF2vSug30&NR=1 That fake diving cost Australia a chance at the world cup thanks to those cheating italians and idiotic referees. Soccer referees are stupid as are the rules. A lot of league rules are pretty crap which makes it hard for the refs but they still aren't as dumb as soccer refs and don't blow penalties for things that have no effect on the game or are obviously being milked. You dont see any milking or diving in union because it has good rules that you can hardly gain any advantage by cheating. Thats why union is the superior game.

They wouldn't last a second in a contact sport the way the dive and carry on, its a joke when they do that and is what makes it so hard to watch soccer. Both games require different skills and it can't be proven that one is better than the other, only opinions can be put forward which are right to some and wrong to others. Unfortunately there is no one answer as to what the best ball game is but my opinion is that its Rugby Union.

What about that chelsea goal keeper?? He wears a headgear, i mean its understandable if he has some condition that requires him to wear it but otherwise that is a joke. Soft as, soccer is a soft game and the non-contact part of it is way overemphasised by the diving, acting players and idiotic referees. I can't watch a full game of soccer. Union, league and AFL are all good but union is the standout that seems to be the best to watch and play as well as referee because the laws make sense and the guys behind the scenes are actually working in order to try and improve the game for both players and spectators which is much more than you can say for whats happening in league. Just my thoughts....i'll know others will disagree. Cheers Josh

Seems pretty accurate and useful. We've had quite a few spot on with those weights-lengths and a few fairly different. Usually just measure and weigh when we're out there-provided we didn't forget either. Josh

Hi Nathan, A fathom is equal to just under 2 meters. A nautical mile is equal to about 1.15 miles and 1.85km. Cheers Josh

Too many to name but a 50lb+ king and jew, done the GT, maybe a Marlin one day...... Josh

The Shimano Saragosa should do the job pretty well. You'll really pay for it here (like 400-500 i think) but in the states its about 250-300 i'm pretty sure. The reel depends more on how much is in your pocket. Theres plenty of options out there. Josh

Fins braid is very good and i like the daiwa sensor and saltiga braids also but they do cost more than others. Tufline can be good but it does fray pretty easily around knots and tips.

I'd have to say my GT i got last year, it was 50lb or so Cheers Josh

The water will gradually warm up as does the air temp. but you'll probably notice bigger changes when we're comfortably into spring around the beginning of October, the Salmon should be very abundant and picky at that time and kingies will start to make their presence felt probably on the surface again being picky feeding on those tiny eyes making it all the more frustrating for us lot Cheers Josh

Atleast thats some kind of entertainment

That really is amazing. Can't see how you can put a dog down when it can survive. It nearly looks a bit like a kangaroo. Josh

Thats a serious price tag for a serious boat. Sooo tempting though

It does look like a trevally but i don't know of any trevally having fins like that... It does have a hint of a surgeon fish about it even though it doesn't look like one, maybe its a surgeon trevally mutation fish The sharp tail is what a surgeon has......

great story, there should me more like that

Never get sick of blonde jokes

Thanks Ray. Thats good to hear. Josh

You really brained them by the look of it. Were they all arrow squid? Never seen them in such numbers in the harbour if so... Cheers Josh

Nice result mate. Thats a great jewie. Where were you fishing roughly? Josh

Thats very good. Nice idea though.

Sunday morning looks ok but wind is picking up around midday. Keep looking at Seabreeze to see if the forecast changes.
