Good luck everyone  

Sponsors and prizes will be added throughout the season and updated in this post.

Mate, they are awesome pics!

Of course!!!

Will be organising something soon

I think if you post up a report in the forum it will be fine as there are some great pics and reports in the forum that aren't in here. Perhaps post up a link in here to make things a little easier for us.

TheBerg contacted me earlier and unfortunately is now working over the weekend so can't go.

I've run the numbers through again this time 2-4 and the winner came up number 4. JayR. Expect a PM from me very shortly to organise getting the tickets to you. Congratulations!

I have sent a PM to TheBerg but if anyone knows the fella can you please let him know he has won the tickets as I'll need to get them to him ASAP.

Cheers

Finally off the phone 

Quickly jumped on here to pick a random winner using random.org to pick a number between 2-6. @ being the post after my original post and 6 being the last person who can use the tickets.

The winner was number 6 so TheBerg you have some free tickets for the Caravan and Camping show

Please contact me ASAP so I can organise to get them to you.

Once again a big thanks to Fishing Wholesalers for the free tickets.

LAST CHANCE. I'll randomly choose a winner at around 12:00pm

Also, I'll have to get these to you today as there is a fishing trip planned for tomorrow 

Come on, last chance to put a post up tonight. Not many posts in here, surely people wouldn't mind a couple of free tickets.

This comp is still open people so get your pics and a quick report in

Something to inspire you from Weavers Youtube channel...

Don't forget this guys n girls. We might have to end this today so we can get the tickets to the winner.

QUICK AND EASY COMP!!!

I liked and shared a Facebook past by Fishing Wholesalers on the Strike Hook page and turns out I won a ticket to the Caravan and Camping Lifestyle Show... Not being my intention to win only share for everyone to enter I went into Fishing Wholesalers today to let them know they could put it back up for the comp. "Nah mate it's all good!" I thought there would be a few Strike Hooker's interested so suggested it would go to a Hooker instead... well the one ticket turned into 2 

A big thanks to Fishing Wholesalers for the tickets! Be sure to check out their Facey page www.facebook.com/FishingWholesalersAustralia their newly launched website www.fishingwholesalers.com.au which looks very cool and drop in to say g'day some time down at 200 Dyson Rd, Lonsdale.

Now how do you get your hands on these 2 tickets? Simple, just reply to this thread and a winner will be chosen at random (1 post only please). We will leave this running as long as we can to get as many entries but will have to close entries soon to get the tickets to the winner in time.

Please make sure you can use both tickets or give one away to a friend or family member. We can always pick a second winner for a ticket if you choose to only use one ticket.

We will figure out the best way to get the tickets to you via PM. It may pay to not be located in Tasmania or live too far away from the metro area for this comp

Good luck everyone

Let's Go - Caravan & Camping Lifestyle Show

Wednesday 17 February to Sunday 21 February

10am to 5pm

At the Adelaide Showground

Don't forget the February comp. Get your reports and pics in 

That would taste so good! Love to do that myself some day.

Hains Signature for sale on Gumtree, funny ad, worth a read. I bet a lot of boats are sold with the same words being uttered.

We all love fishing, right?

Apparently I don't like fishing any more - at least that's what I've been told by someone with more authority than me, but here is a ready to go fishing package - just hitch up, drop her in the water and go fishing the day you buy her!

Oh, and I meant drop the boat in the water - not your wife. Dropping wives in the water is apparently not appropriate and/or appreciated. And if you can buy a suitable wife - good luck to you. I've already bought and sold one wife, still paying for the later model and have no desire to find out what it would cost me to sell her (the wife, not the boat).


And the best news is you don't need a big tow vehicle - she can be towed behind a typical family sedan like a Commodore or Falcon! The boat is also the right size for towing behind a family sedan.


You might have guessed I'm really disappointed to be selling my boat, but my wife has decided that the caravan is more important, so this great boat package simply has to go.

She (the boat, not my wife) has seen very little use due to business commitments and my wife's desire to travel in the caravan instead of going out fishing. And let's be honest - if I don't sell the boat to get the caravan SWMBO wants, then I'm not likely to see much use out of my wife either.


A really comfortable and stable boat - the cabin is big enough for two to sleep in and there is heaps of storage space inside the cabin and also on deck. Rock solid fibreglass hull.

Please note that these are all words that should not be applied to your wife - comfortable, stable (as if!), big enough to sleep two, heaps of storage space and rock solid. These descriptions are only about the boat. Please, you have to believe me!


This package is complete and ready to go and includes:

- UHF (27 MHz) radio

- all required offshore safety equipment including life jackets, flares, bucket, EPIRB and so on (ask me nicely and I'll even give you a life jacket for the missus)

- Lowrance LCX-37C colour combination chartplotter and fishfinder (not that you need a chartplotter - apparently wives always know where you are and where you should be)

- Bimini with clear sides and front

- rod holder on the bimini

- bait board (never used, at least not by my wife)

- bilge pump (electric)

- 100 litre underfloor fuel tank (which I will make sure is full)

- Sea Trail galvanised trailer (with new winch)

- PortaPotti toilet (for the wife's comfort and your peace and quiet)

- anchor (should not be attached to any person, especially your wife)


She (again, the boat, not the wife) is equipped with a 90HP Evinrude E-Tec outboard, which starts first time, every time. Heaven only knows what life would be like if my wife's mouth was as reliable as this motor.

A 20 litre drum of E-Tec oil (worth over $300) also comes with the boat because we all know how important proper lubrication is and so you won't have to worry about buying lube, I mean oil, any time soon!


As an added bonus we'll even throw in our tow tube which is shaped like a jet ski and you'll also get the tow bridle and tow rope. Capable of carrying three people, this tube is a bundle of fun and gets comments everywhere it goes.

I have found that the tow rope is long enough to effectively mute your wife's screams too!

Monster fish, nice mate!

I break mine up into smaller batches and put them in resealable bags, pillies, tommies, st's, cockles, squid heads. Seems to work. Then as the other guys said save the dregs and left overs for berley.

I'd love to test the difference between the cheaper and more expensive sunnies. Wonder if there is much difference.

I can't compare any brands but use Spotters myself, they're pretty good but aren't all that comfortable, I purchased online so didn't try them on. Glass lenses all the way if you can.

Nice post Jayman, might have to try that one day.
