  1. Crazy that wood could catch on fire and cause that kind of fire, there must have been another source of ignition. Very sad to see for the owner, it looks like a nice vessel. Timely reminder for those with engine rooms to check their emergency fuel shut offs, closable engine room vents, fire suppression systems etc. Glad everyone is ok. PS If any ships proceed down barker inlet they are in trouble.
  2. Their plucking old data from, trying to confuse information and inventing reasons to lower the bag limits and restrict us further. Have they had time to measure the effects of the Marine parks yet? How are they collecting recreational catch data? Have they taken into consideration that commercial fishing practices have change making it harder for them.
  3. Penn slammer 260 would be another bomb proof option.
  4. Most tide information would be accurate. One thing tide predictions ( tides that are forecasted ) don't take into consideration is differences in Barometric pressure and forecasted weather on any particular day ( differences in barometric pressure and weather are often linked. . Low pressure systems tend to raise sea levels and high pressure systems tend to lower them. Variations in tide will also happen when we have periods of strong winds, normally linked to low pressure systems and affects of sea breeze. When we have prolonged periods of strong wind you will notice large tides at the

  6. 20 lb braid down to a 30lb short trace. I have a few siennas that mates use when on my boat. This was his first snapper. Handled it no worries. I have a few sustains aswell, id much rather spend 50 bucks on a sienna then $300 on a sustain.

  8. Nice work Brenton, looks great.
  9. It's hard not to assume or be defensive when you have so many groups attacking something that we all love.
  10. This is how I justify it. From a young boy my parents have had a holiday house on the Yorke Peninsula, they purchased the place as a result of them enjoying the life style that a quiet coastal towns offers. I grew up in the dessert on the Nullarbor plain in South Australia and as a family we would visit our holiday house on the Yorke Peninsula during holiday periods. During this time as a family we would participate in the hobby of fishing. This activity would provide us with food as well as an activity that we could all participate in and enjoy as a family. The rural town that our holida
  11. I'm going to head out on Wednesday for a look. I'm sure you'll pick up a feed. Might even shoot across the gulf for a look at a few drops.

  13. Had a crack at preserving tuna this arvo. It is a little time consuming but tastes great and can be kept for over a year so perfect for when you have plenty of tuna. Ingredients are sea salt, water, Italian mixed herbs, olive oil and tuna. All you do us boil large chunks of tuna in a salt water solution which is 35 grams of salt to one litre of water. Once the tuna is cooked flake it into sterile jars, cover with oil and some herbs to taste. Boil your jars for a couple of hours to complete sterilisation process. Apparently it gets to it full taste potential after 1 month in the jar but damn
  14. I'm terrible my car leaves the drive way and takes me on the tackle loop, bcf, tackleworld then past R & A's.

  16. I got a pair of polarized sunnies from ( OTR ) on the run. The work a treat and were $25 dollars.
  17. Installed some rod riggers to the Battle Axe this arvo. Tuna won't stand a chance now. Good way to get a decent spread happening for small trailer boats that don't troll year round. My soloman Island fishing God good luck charm consumed some beers during the install.
