I have dabbed with limited success just using a big arse torch in one hand, net in the other while directing my mate on the tiller. Was good fun, for me anyway, he hated it lol.

Totally illegal mate.From memory its something like $5000 fine per day until its cleaned up, you pay to clean it up etc.

heat it up, pour on some beer, rub with newspaper, cook snags, don't clean when done

quick! get Ugly4Life to wave to the camera

I've only just noticed these new products put out by BOM, they're pretty good, nice easy way to visualise what's going on with the wind and waves.http://www.bom.gov.au/sa/forecasts/localwaters.shtmlSeems like they've been around since October 2011... never noticed.here's a summary of new services they will be rolling out.http://www.bom.gov.au/NexGenFWS/

I've never tried cuttlies but heard they can be a bit mushy? a lot softer than squid but just as nice.I get a few of them around hallett cove, look like bloody spaceships the way they go through the water and 'dock' with the squid jig yeah im crazy.always let them go, or if i see them, pull the jig up before they 'dock' lol.there's a few cool youtube vids involving cuttlefish and their camouflaging abilities.

I hear carrickalinga is a pretty good lb snapper spot

So the majority actually remain in SA waters? No mass migration to areas in other states?

where do the snapper go when they exit the gulf?

He went the route of organising everything himself' date=' as going through a company that handles the whole lot costs more, would have cost about $12k. the downside is this takes longer and is more stressful.The shipping company he used in LA was Montana Exports, they just handle all the shipping on that side.also needed a purchasing agent to go inspect boats, eventually buy it and deliver it to the shipping company. The proprietor of Montana Exports recommended an agent.then you need a freight company on this side to take delivery of the container and unload it etc. there is a local guy here

Interestingly no. Never thought about that for boats.

I'll see if I can get the company details off him.A quick look at classifieds shows me that this particular boat is worth $40k-$60k here. The boat itself was bought for about $15k! plus agent fees and shipping etc all up it cost just over $20k.I have heard that some people (mainly boat yards) import all the time and even stockpile boats overseas and trickle them in as there is a fair amount of money to be made on the difference.

yeah its a 2003, you picked up on it being a Brunswick and not a Bayliner i see ;)he will be getting the trailer converted to our specs once it arrives.tonyb, this guy's son used the same agent to import a boat last year so its all sweet, but yeah buyer beware of course. If it were me and it was my first time importing i'd be checking out the 'agent' very closely.

The other option if it won't fit in a container is for them to be sent on a flatbed instead, they get put on top of the stack of containers. the problem being is that at every stop they are taken off at a cost of i think $300 each time. wouldn't want the ship to be stopping at every port :)they flipped the container, drove the boat in, chocked and tied it down everywhere, then flipped it again and put a car in front of the boat. obviously all engine fluids, fuel etc needed to be drained to do this. someone then unloads it when it gets here.

A work colleague has been in the process of importing a boat from the US since October last year, in the second week of March he will finally get his hands on it.Thought I'd pop up this picture he was sent by the agent of it in the container. Its a Brunswick 2052 Trophy Pro Walkaround and only JUST fit in a 40ft container.yes, it had to be put on its side with only about an inch on the sides and top to spare :)he got a good deal from the US and even with the shipping and agent costs ended up costing less than half of what he could buy one here for.

A mate of mine always seems to get them when we head out, so if I'm after flatties, I just take him with me

Didn't know this post existed, this is how I do my gar now thanks to hoopsy passing on the knowledge at the crab and gar day.As someone mentioned, I find the second side more difficult than the first as it doesnt sit as nice once you do one side. But its all practice I suppose.

then maybe this old guy is using 12/0s and wire trace during the day...... ;)

so what are the big arse squid they get down at victor starting Octoberish each year? just big southern calamari?

Squish is it then
