  1. what the hell is that deformed contraption?

    hehehe :Funny-Post:

    Hope you got a good discount, the damned thing is bent :tease:

    Serious looking piece of techno wizardry there for sure :1yikes:

    You may have to look at putting on a sacrificial anode. Wouldn't like to put it in storage for winter and come back to use it in summer only to see erosion.

    Could possibly be an issue?????

  2. G'day Huss,

    You have an addiction that qualifies you to become a Raider.

    Good luck with the expectant bub, no doubt he / she will follow in your footsteps.

  3. This is a photograph of 2009 Obama Inauguration. You can see IN FOCUS the face of EACH individual in the crowd !!!

    You can scan and zoom to any section of the crowd. . . wait a few seconds. . . and the focus adjusts to give you a very identifiable close up.

    Every one attending and within rifle range of Obama could be scanned after the event, should something have gone wrong during it.

  5. [hi all can any one tell me if outboard oil such as xd 100 has a used by date or it shelf life if unopened. thanks pappy

    I would also be interested. I was once advised by a rep of a large oil company that most modern, hi-tech oils contained additives and detergents that lasted no longer than 6 months wether or not the engine had consistent use or sat idle for that period of time.

    Not sure if it was a spiel by him to sell more oil or not, but he was saying that no matter if you only done x amount of miles or hours on the engine in that time frame, that the oil would still lose it's lubricating properties.

    Fact or fiction?

    Cheers

  6. dont mean to be rude here but i would not be spraying wd40 on anything going into the water to target fish think of the smell just wash them and let em dry properly put em back in the box

    just my opinion

    mick

    I too would not recommend that brand spray or any others for that matter.

    For years I have always kept my used hooks, whether it be trebles or singles, in an air tight container generously soaking in cooking oil. Never, ever use a petroleum based or synthetic type of oil or water displacement concoction.

    Vegetable oil, even "Reef" tanning oil would be preferred.

    Change them and the rings for new and dip them in cooking oil before storage.

    Cheers

  7. It might pay you to check with the Department of Transport as to the requirements you need to meet if selling.

    One would think that you would have to hand back in the plates and sell it as an unregistered wreck. Otherwise you would need a pink slip for the sale.

    Hope nobody was injured.

    Cheers

  8. hi mariner

    theres rocks out in front of beach and a nice gutter in between with scattered boulders weed and cabbage pour through here with rough seas and rising tides

    peter :1fishing1:

    Is the water "busy" - (breaking, frothing) or is it flat?

    I'm just wondering how you notice the downs on a beach.

    Thanks for the info

  9. Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.

    John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946

    Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.

    John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

    Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

    Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

    Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

    Both Presidents were shot in the head

    Now it gets really weird.

    Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.

    Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln ..

    Both were assassinated by Southerners.

    Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

    Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.

    Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

    John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.

    Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

    Both assassins were known by their three names.

    Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

    Now hang on to your seat.

    Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'

    Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

    Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.

    Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater

    Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

    And here's the kicker...

    A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland

    A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

  10. Amazing stuff - Is there a drop off, rocks or weed beds in front of the beach?

    Excellent catch and they do look well conditioned.

    Well done

    Mariner

    no ,he didn't bleeeeeeed them he just killed them first! by cutting the neck. moron............

    nothing unusual but very quick for the fish sake. no torture and better taste anyway.

    things we do in europe by law since 30 years!

    wake up Australia!

    WTF?

    A little harsh isn't it, I guess we are not as clever as you then.

    Sorry for breathing.

  11. What more could you ever want for?

    A great feed of fish,

    A great day fighting all the fish you hooked,

    Sitting back listenening to the rain - I think I am sleeping - LOL

    The mystery starfish?

    Sounds like a great day and a wild experience.

    Don't know about the starfish though, we have plenty here although the ones I've seen don't have very long fingers like that one.

    Well Done

    Cheers

  12. Can confirm that Roberta. have been watching all afternoon. Some of those rigs are crazy, must be topping 50-75 knots.

    I will re-iterate what the commentators have been saying. This is probably the only sport where gender has no bearing on the outcome. "The fish don't know that it is a female on the other end of the rod".

    6lbs against 30+ lbs just doesn't wash with me.

    Credit to her that she topped the all female list in the womens competition, but these guys are like lions.

    Some of these guys are just damned crazy. Kelly, I think his name is, has just completed a triple heart bypass operation and I am pretty certain that he made the final cut of 25 anglers for the final day.

    Have not seen one angler from the 51 competing tolling a lure. Some are catching Bass in 12 inches of water.

    Something to do with the love bug. That the shallower water warms up much quicker obviously, than the deeper water.
