  1. Or get yourself a 3.0m tinnie with a 2HP on it- no license required and no rego required cause they are roof-toppers (unless you have a trailer then you register the trailer only)

    Thats what I am going to do

    Guess if I really wanted to my bro-in-law has his boat license so can register hours with him when he goes.

    Cheers

    From my understanding, you can drive any boat you like without a licence (except commercial vessels), you're just not allowed to exceed 10 knots.

    Also only boats with up to 6hp or above 6hp (not sure which way that goes) require registration, regardless of length.

    Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

    I also agree it's a great idea, there's too many idiots with good enough comprehension skills to pass the current testing.

  2. IMHO there is only one good snake. A dead snake. The scare the sh1t out of me.

    I'm with you wahcat, my :wife: brother has snakes, I bloody hate 'em. He has a little fun with me and the snakes but I've told him I wont hesitate to stomp on one should the need/oppertunity arise.

  3. Found this on ninemsn:

    A Queensland government taskforce says it's possible chemical sprays were behind deformed, two-headed fish larvae at a Sunshine Coast hatchery.

    The taskforce, which includes government agencies and independent experts, has been testing the area around the Noosa River Sunland Freshwater Fish Hatchery on the Sunshine Coast, where dead, deformed and abnormal fish larvae have alarmed locals.

    The locals have linked the deaths and deformities to five recent cancer cases in people from the area, blaming chemicals from nearby macadamia nut plantations.

    Primary industries minister Tim Mulherin says the taskforce accepts contamination from chemical sprays as a plausible cause of some of the fish kills - but no definitive cause of the deformities of larvae with two heads can be found.

    "This is a complex investigation with no simple answers," Mr Mulherin said.

    "Some within the taskforce believe the report does not go far enough in identifying chemicals as the cause of the problems, but overall the consensus is that it is not possible to provide a definitive opinion on the cause at this stage."

    The neighbouring macadamia farm has been found to be using chemicals legally and operating within industry practices.

    The next phase of the investigation will see an interim report delivered in September, with a final report due in February next year.

  4. Mate if you're very carefull with the weather and sea conditions you go out in and got all the right safety gear etc you'll be fine.

    I've been out around the 5 islands and out off the beach at Port Kembla in a 3.8m punt with a 15hp, a number of times and seen other boats similar out there. Just have to be extra cautious about weathe etc, and we are rarely more than 1 mile from land.

    I see people out there in kayaks and canoes, you will see reports on here of peope out there in yaks etc aswell.

    Would probably be a good idea to go out with someone expierenced a few times if you can.

    Good luck.

  5. A big well done to Little Slinky on a nice flatty and good report. Also well done to snr Slinky for being gracious in defeat.

    Who better to beat you hey!

    Looks like you may have taught her a little too well.

  6. It was a good win in the end but don't get too carried away, the score didn't reflect the type of game it was. And you can't forget the last few weeks the Broncos have had.

    No I'm not a Brisbane fan.

  7. G'day mate. I've never seen or heard of any blackfish being caught at night. Nor have I heard of bread being used for anything in luderick fishing. I've only ever used greenweed, for bait and berley (chopped finely and mixed with sand for the berley), but you can get them on worms aswell.

    Here's a link to a good thread about fishing for blackies.

    Good luck

    P.S. It's at the top of the page in the pinned topics part of this sub section, Fishing Chat.

  8. Just wondering, (not that I'm buying a new boat and need to make a decision) why would you opt for the twin outboard instead of single.

    Apart from the fact you've got a 2nd motor if 1 breaks down, what are the advantages/disadvantage of each.

    For example, I was just looking (dreaming) at the haines Hunter 720 Patriot. It's available in the single or twin configeration. Why would you choose twin 150hp instead of a single 300hp.

    Is top speed the same? I suppose with the twin set up the motors are working 1/2 as hard, but do twin 150's have the same or better holeshot, top speed, troll speed etc.

    What does everyone think, what are the facts?

    Thanks

  9. In the interview just say:

    "I believe the crims are all guilty or the cops wouldn't have charged them in the 1st place, so why are we waisting time with the court process, just lock 'em up"

    or something along those lines and they probably take you anyway.

    Good luck.

  10. I was wondering the other day when fishing, how leatherjackets are able to devour an SP in a matter of seconds.

    Would it ever get to a case in the open ocean, that if you fell into the water into a school of leatherjackets, that they would eat you alive? They are able to attack terminal tackle, with even the slightest hint of fish scent on them.

    just a thought to ponder while the boss is away on a meeting.

    cheers autocad

    Don't know how that would go. I do know I certainly wouldn't want to bet against them doing it, they're savage mongrels.

    Go for a swim next time you come across a school and let us know the answers to your questions.

  11. Personally I've always targeted blackfish in winter. They always seem to be there in good numbers in the lake I fish, Lake Illawarra. Even though most other species (except crabs) have been pretty scarce the last few years the blackies always seem to turn up in numbers, just finding good weed is the challange.

    Good luck with what ever you decide to target.

  12. Well done on the catch guys.

    Gotta say though, I would love to have seen the:

    - dropped rod - balancing RayR trying to get a breath - rescue attempts - saved with sunnies, hat and wet smoke

    Sounds like a classic story that will get plenty of milage for years to come.

    Glade to hear all ended well

  13. Hi all, I was doing the sports crossword in the daily telegraph y'day and 1 of the questions, I can't remember the exact wording but basicly:

    "measurement of the hull from waterline to lowest part of the keel"

    I'm sure someone here will be able to enlighten me.

    Thanks.

  14. Ah well, at least Andy Johns was there representing his minority.

    I love SOO. It brings out the best in spectators...

    What more needs to be said than,

    1/2 BACK OF THE CENTURY

    GO JOEY!

    He'd still run rings around lockyer and thurston today, even after not playing for 2 yrs.

    JOEY FOR PM

    P.S. I'm not a Newcastle fan.

    As you said, SOO brings out the best in us all!!!

  15. We nearly done it.

    BLOODY QUEENSLANDERS!!!

    :mad3::(:thumbdown::05::ranting2::1badmood::mad3::thumbdown:

    An idiot ref (sorry, 2 idiot refs these days) didn't help our cause!

  16. Not real sure if those shops have what you need but I don't think I've ever came across a bait shop that didn't have whitebait.

    Good luck on the long weekend. I'm working night shift Fri/Sat. What a way to spend a long weekend. :mad3:

  17. Would you be talking about Farm Town on Facebook?

    I'm not on facebook myself but I think all that stuff sounds familiar from things my mrs has said, she's on it and plays that farm town.

    It's got a bit of a catchy tune hey?.

  18. I've got a 650BC with the lever drag. Had it for over 10 yrs now. Gotta be honest, it's pretty much been neglected, don't think I've ever had it apart for service etc. and still works fine. Iv'e used it in a few different applications and never had a drama with it.

    While we're on the topic of alveys, some have lever and some have star drag, what's the difference in terms of advantage/disadvantage of either?
