Bream SP's My favourite rated #1: atomic grubs with rubber fly legs added #2 2" pwr hawg in watermelon #3 2" pwr hawg in pumpkinseed #4 2" pwr hawg in cinnamin #5 3" bass minow in pearl watermelon #6 Whatever is the cheapest at the time. I use nitro heads bullets in varying weights and I also make my own using black magic fly hooks and brass beads some times add propellers and small blades. I sometimes scent my lures as well using a secret garlic scent recipe that my local green grocer sells goes good on fish and chicken as a BBQ marinade as well. Cheers Trev

Clutch, You were up until after 1 am working this out??? and I thought you were only newly married..... Mate I think you need some counselling. But any way yes it was there under movies. Just lucky it was on tape otherwise no one would beieve it. Cheers Trev

Like Mrs Sworfisherman I am also a Nurse. Have worked in operating theatres for 18yrs. I am Nurse Unit Manager for the Recovery Ward at a major tertiary hospital so no shift work Mon to Fri 9-5. I also work as a musician but is more of a self funding hobby than a big money maker. Over the years I have worked part time as farm hand, laborer, gardener, office clerk, motor wrecker, fishing tackle sales, gigilo..... But I really enjoy my job I have 30 excellent nurses working for me and a really jealous wife at home..... My dream job would be full time professional musician playing jazz and blues.......... Cheers Trev

Same here I tried looking at the settings but no idea??? Thought I may have too many brews...... Cheers Trev

Happy Birthday Clutch Cheers Trev

I have found that when using hard bodies for bream the slower the retrieve the better. As Ken mentioned in his reply earlier pause twitch wind one turn pause wind twitch pause twitch wind pause. Did I mention that retrieving slowly was important.... Any way that is what I have found works best for me. Cheers Trev

Mick, They look the goods. What are their length and weight? Cheers Trev

Great report and mighty fine looking dinner. I gotta catch me a big jew. Cheers Trev

Some of those picture sequence questions really stretch your mind. I have a real head ache now. Anyway I scored 122, I'll take that. I have done quite a few IQ tests over the years and results vary my worst was 97 my best was 145, so there is a huge range that can occur. By the way the score of 145 was done when I was in high school and was helped with a few lucky guesses. Cheers Trev

11/11 What can I say....

Ken, I t reminds of some very wise words I read somwhere.. "never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxetive at the same time!"

Sharky, I had an uncle with a pet kangaroo it was raised by hand since a little joey and was as tame as until it bumped into the bee hives on the farm. When my uncle went to see what was wrong with skippy she ballanced back on her tail and opened his chest up with her left leg right down to rib bones and cartlidge. Not my favourite Aussie icon unless it is done slowly over hot coals served with bush tomatoes and a good red wine. Cheers Trev

Thanks Donna, I enjoy the trivia. Cheers Trev

As I said before from your experience I will never buy Tohatsu. I just can't for the life believe they have been so useless. Man I am sorry for your experience but glad you shared it to warn us all. Cheers Trev

Can we hae some Aussie sports Questions instead of Yankee baseball man I suck at American Trivia. Keep em coming. Cheers Trev

I am not sure of all the reasons for the seal slaughter, I have seen Roo numbers increase out west on Relatives farms and been involved in legal culls to reduce numbers. Whilst I haven't been for some years I used to love hunting Roos, Foxes and bunnies. I love to catch and eat fresh fish... And to quote a statement I heard the other day "I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a bloody vegetarian!" Cheers Trev

Well I'm a Nun Mother Theresa.... Now thats a laugh... My Dad was a missionary and actually worked with her in India Cheers Trev

Forget the yankee trivia I am hopless at US stuff......... Cheers Trev

This has been an interesting thread. It has made my mind up on what motor I will avoid. By the sounds of it Tohatsu warranty is no good and not worth anything. Trev

woohoo F.I.G.J.A.M. I love getting top score and I love this awsome Country Cheers Trev

Same here Clutch, Go the 10 footers! Cheers Trev

If you just use epoxy and not super glue it will be easier to change again in the future! NB: make sure it is straight before the glue sets. Don't heat the rod tip too much and use pliers with a straight pulling action DO NOT twist as it may probably will damage tip. Cheers Trev

Some interesting info' on Dioxins: look at site http://www.idph.state.il.us/envhealth/factsheets/dioxin.htm Dioxin exposure causes a severe form of skin rash called chloracne, which results in small, pale yellow skin lesions that may last from weeks to years. Dioxins can cause short-term liver dysfunctions without any visible symptoms. These include changes in metabolism and enzymatic activity in the liver, which are similar to those resulting from the consumption of alcoholic beverages. In animal studies, dioxins have caused nerve damage, birth defects, increased incidence of miscarriages and significant changes to the immune system. Studies have shown that reproductive, immune and nervous systems of the developing fetus and children are more sensitive and susceptible to dioxin toxicity. Exposure to large amounts of dioxins over a short period of time, or continuous low-level exposure over an extended period can cause cancer and other severe immune deficiency effects in animals; however, there is not sufficient information from human studies to establish these health effects in people. Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified dioxins as a probable human carcinogen (cancer causing chemical); there is not sufficient evidence to prove that dioxins cause cancer from exposure to the low levels normally found in the environment. One dioxin, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is listed as a known human carcinogen and all the others as probable human carcinogens

Stue, I have had better success with the little arms left on. BUT you need to break them free at the top then they spring out and back on retrieve and rest. Best colour I have found is watermelon. If the little tails get chewed off then don't throw them out super glue a curl tail on the end they might just catch more fish than the originals....... Cheers Trev
