A few bits and pieces used for making and rigging lures.
Some home mades.
The top is from a mineral water bottle, the 2nd is a Peanut Butter container,
and the bottom is a Gatorade bottle.
The new wilderness lure.
Only problem is when you get a strike, good for 1 fish only.
Take a closer look.
What sort of fish left those teethmarks?
-
Went for a quick wizz this arvo in the longboat.
Coupla YFT of 3 and 5 kg on 6 kg Baitcaster.
Great fun for a couple of hours
Another dozen or so Bonito kept for slab baits.
-
We call these fish Bonito.
Are they the same as your Skipjack or Stripey?

A man has a dog that snores in his sleep. Annoyed, because she can't sleep, his wife goes to the vet to see if he can help. The vet tells the woman to tie a ribbon around the dog's privates and he will stop snoring.
A few hours after going to bed, the dog is snoring as usual. Finally, unable to sleep, she goes to the closet and grabs a piece of ribbon and ties it around the dog's privates, and sure enough, the dog stops snoring. The woman is amazed!
Later that night, her husband returns home drunk from being out with his buddies. He climbs into bed, falls asleep, and begins snoring very loudly. The woman thinks maybe the ribbon will work on him. So she goes to the closet again, grabs a piece of ribbon, and ties it around her husband's privates. Amazingly, it also works on him!
The woman sleeps very soundly.
The next morning, the husband wakes up very hung over.
He tumbles into the bathroom to urinate. As he is standing in front of the toilet, he looks in the mirror and sees a blue ribbon attached to his privates.
He is very confused, and, as he walks back into the bedroom, he notices a red ribbon attached to his dog's privates .
He shakes his head, looks down at the dog and says:
"Boy, don't remember where we were or what we did, but, by God, we got first and second place!"

A farmer named Seamus had a car accident.
In court, the lorry company's hot-shot solicitor was questioning Seamus.
'Didn't you say to the Police at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine?' asked the solicitor.
Seamus responded: 'Well, I'll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favourite cow, Bessie, into the...'
'
I didn't ask for any details', the solicitor interrupted. 'Just Answer the question. Did you not say, at the scene of the accident, 'I'm fine!'?'
Seamus said, 'Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road....'
The solicitor interrupted again and said, 'Your Honour, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the police on the scene that he was fine. Now several weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question.'
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Seamus's answer and said to the solicitor: 'I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favourite cow, Bessie'.
Seamus thanked the Judge and proceeded. 'Well as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favourite cow, into the trailer and was driving her down the road when this huge lorry and trailer came through a stop sign and hit my trailer right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurt, very bad like, and didn't want to move.
However, I could hear old Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after the accident, a policeman on a motorbike turned up. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, and saw her condition, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes.
Then the policeman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at me, and said, 'How are you feeling?'
Now what the hell would you say?

How would this add go in the SMH?

Lots of technical methods. Mine is similar to some but as a mad BBQ man I have been cleaning mine the same way for some 30 years. Firstly you must have a good plate - at least 12mm thick. Make a huge bonfire under it, spread 1/2 kilo salt and let it go for say 20 -30 minutes. Just as the flame goes down to coals, throw buckets of clean water over the plate. This removes the dirty salt and cools the plate until the water no longer boils on the surface. Now the plate is ready to cook on. The coals will heat the plate sufficiently and the 12mm thickness will hold the heat. You may have to occassionally throw a few small pieces of firewood on if you are having a long session, or to regulate the heat around the edges.
The main key is to have a thick plate which will hold the heat.

As Ben Franklin said:
in water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces.
DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:
Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.
METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.
The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure (30 days)
2. Gastric (10 days)
3. Diabetes (30 days)
4. Constipation (10 days)
5. Cancer (180 days)
6. TB (90 days)
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily.
This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

what should I seal the surface with?
Whatever I use must not be too hard to blunt knives. I was thinking of getting an epoxy 2-pack or even glueing a plastic cutting board onto the wood. Any suggestions?
I had a similar setup on the back of my Nipper.
Kept it simple and cheap.
Sprinkle salt on it after each trip.
Algae gone, smell gone and sterilised. All for less than $1 per trip
Might suffice until you decide on final cutting surface.
Cheers

Hey All
About to fly North Wednesday for a weeks fishing in MacKay (woohoo!)
Any advice for putting rods on Virgin Blue? In particular - I have a 7ft wippy rod that I'm keen to take. What's the best way to protect it? Package it? (and cheapest)
thanks
Mike
Measure the distance from back side of rod blank to outside of first guide. This will give you the size of PVC pipe required. I never purchased packaging materials, your beach towell, clothing or the like will be more than adequate to wrap your sticks in.

Mariner, with the middle one is the top tail lobe longer than the lower tail lobe??
The larger specimens appear to have distinct longer top lobes.
The juvenile appears to have similar length top and bottom lobes.
-
where were they caught?
Approximately 161 Degree South, 10 Degree East - (Without giving too much away)

It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.
The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said "Give me Liberty, or give me Death"? She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up: "Patrick Henry, 1775" he said. "Very good!"
Who said "Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall Not perish from the Earth?" Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar.
"Abraham Lincoln, 1863" said Chandrasekhar. The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do."
She heard a loud whisper: "F##k the Indians,"
"Who said that?" she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up. "General Custer, 1862."
At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke." The teacher glares around and asks "All right! Now, who said that?"
Again, Chandrasekhar says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister,1991."
Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? Suck this!" Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher , "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"
Now with almost mob hysteria someone said "You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you." Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him-2004."
The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, we're f##ked!" and Chandrasekhar said quietly, I think it was George Bush, Iraq, 2007.

Hi All,
I am interested in a 18ft SwiftCraft half Deep V cabin with a Volvo 130HP INBOARD engine....
I am told the boat is in very good condition. The boat is around the mid 80's model.
I am also told that this boat is very sturdy.
I would like to know your views on this type of boat, especially being an inboard engine.
I have included a pic.
Any info is appreciated.
I have twin 135HP Turbo Volvo Diesels in my boat and they are great. Fuel efficient, quiet and gets her along at a top speed of 25Knots.
I am not a fan of petrol engines either, but not often do you find the package that is good to the eye, functional and affordable. Take it for a test run, as long as engine room has good ventilation, a good blower, no leaks on the leg it should be fine. Sounds like plenty of Horses for that size vessel. Good Luck

Yesterdays efforts
Fishing around 40 metres using strips of fish for bait.
Rosy Jobfish I think - here they call them snapper?
All good size though - photo taken on top of 500 litre deep freezer.
Not sure what these are - Plain Jobfish?
Left hand bottom fish - don't know either
The 3 different species, largest 70cm to fork of tail.

That's a magnificent fish.
What size line?
As an ex Townsvillite, I used to do regular expeditions out to Grub reef - about 50 miles out. I was lucky to be given the co-ordinates of a sunken trawler. No point fishing 2 hooks unless you were superman. Some great memories - Brewer reef, Magnetic Island, Palm Island, etc. When the sea was too rough there were plenty of opportunities in the esturine system. Recommend it to anyone thinking of travelling north. God I loved that place, magnificent reef system!
Is Dale Weldon still around? When I left he was just opening a new tackle shop. Great bloke, expert fisherman and a wealth of information.
If you want to get on to some nice reddies then catch up with Joe Sikora - one hell of a cowboy, only person I know that ties the 100lb handline to his toe whilst sleeping - still catches twice as many fish as the next person.

G'day all,
I have dual batteries in my boat connected to an isolater switch and i have allways disconnected them before charging, is this really nesessary or can i leave them connected and just alternately charge them.
Thanks,
Bruce
Do you mean when your boat is on the trailer, or in the water.
Are they sealed batteries, lead acid or lead jelly.
How many amps is the battery charger.
Are they in a battery box or open units.
When underway at sea, the small amount of toxic fumes generated whilst charging, is generally dispersed safely into the air. It is a different story though, if on the trailer in a confined space (garage), there is more danger of ignition and or inhilation of the toxic fumes.
Food for thought.

If all else fails you may have to consider re-engineering your trailer yoke. Cut and weld a piece up at a 45 degree angle to achieve the desired height, then resume to the horizontal. Just a thought, I'm no engineer but maybe that's a possibility. I have a RAV 4 also, but don't tow. I can see what your problem is.
You could always purchase a new $100,000.00 Landcruiser!
Turtle Off Maroubra
in Fishing Reports
Posted
Cut into strips like beef then stirfried in olive oil with some garlic and chillie - yummy.
Texture similar to tender beef fillet, taste similar to chicken but own flavour.
Readily available here at the local market. Also in PNG.
The shell is then used for jewellery - earings and bangles.
Sorry guys, but here it is subsistence farming for survival. Unaided divers go to great depths with no weapons but bare hands. Turn the turtle upside down to bring to the surface. Mostly the smaller specimens are taken for consumption to leave the larger ones to breed. They also consume the eggs - normal practice is to take half and leave half to hatch.
Wild pigs, cows, crocodiles, sea urchins, dolphins, flying foxes, bandicoots and bush wallabies are also regularly hunted and consumed. Guns are banned here so traditional methods of capture are adopted.
I have eaten all of the above except dolphin. The meat looks black and not palatable to me.
Enjoy your dinner!
