    rayke1938 got a reaction from Brodie_S in DIY Shrimp traps.   
    After several different types I think that I have finally got it right.
    What do you need.
    Cable ties - Bunnings or cheaper still on ebay.
    Plastic gutter guard 180mm wide Bunnings whites super gutter guard 180mm X 8 m about $7 or cheaper at Masters.
    Ideally 25mm begonia pot saucers from K mart $1 each but they havent had any for months.so I use Frisbees from K mart $1 each.



    Bundle of

    tent pole shock cord $3 from K mart
    around 12 gauge gi soft drawn fencing wire. I scrounged some from a farmer mate.
    Empty 2l soft drink bottled.
    I use soft copper wire for the hooks and attaching the tie rope. You should be able to scrounge some from a sparky or auto electrician


    First step is to cut the gutterguard to length. Just mark the edge of the frisbee with a felt pen and place a mark on a length of wood and roll the frisbee Add an inch to allow for an overlap join.
    Similarly cut the fencing wire to length.
    The fencing wire has to be formed into a circle and the neck of a 9kg gas bottle is ideal for the frisbee size and if you are fortunate to find some 25mm begonia saucers an upturned flower pot is good.
    Then cut a hole in the frisbee slightly smaller in diameter than the soft drink bottle.

    Next step is to cut the neck off the soft drink bottle ( I find scissors best leave the screw top on the bottle and it is easier to make the initial plunge into the bottle}




    Then using a small tipped soldering iron melt 4 holes around the hole in the frisbee and corresponding holes in the drink neck and cable tie the neck to the frisbee,( Do this in well ventilated area because of the burning plastic fumes.) You could drill the holes but it is much faster with the soldering iron.
    You will note that I have also made holes around the circumference of the frisbee.You only make the holes on one of the frisbees.

    Next step is to join 2 lengths of the gutterguard side by side.



    Just tie them together loosely untill the whole lengthy is complete and then flip them out and then tighten up the cable ties.

    The co joined gutterguard is then cabletied to the frisbee and the top is pulled in so that the diameter is slightly smalletr then the outher end that is secured to the frisbee and one of bthe fencing wire circles is cable tied to the top

    nAnd then the second wire circle is tied in to the centre of the pot



    I then insert a short rod into the top of the trap to attact the clop that I tie the rope to.



    Clip is made from the copper wire mentioned earlier.

    I then place some weight opposite the rope attach point. ( Anything heavy to take the pot to the bottom quickly.( I use old galvanised bolts )

    Next step is to burn 3 holes in the other frisby that is going to be the other end of the pot.

    Kingfish are very susceptible to going soft if not iced down or slurried quick enough.
    Opening the gut cavity and icing them down is a good way to treat Kings as you need to lower their core temp asap,much the same as Tuna.
    The Kingfish that go soft after killing them is caused from an infection of microscopic Kudoa which lives in the flesh of the fish.
    It gives the flesh a soft and mushy appearance which we call Milky Kingfish.
    The parasite only causes the flesh to turn milky after the fish has died over a period of a few hours so there is no telling if the Kingy has it when you first catch the fish.
    Icing the fish heavily as soon as you catch it is the only way to prevent the parasite from destroying the flesh but this does not always stop it if the infection is bad enough.
    Once dead for a few hours you can tell by pressing firmly on the side of the fish in a fleshy area and you finger marks will remain as deep depressions in the flesh.
    A good fish the depression will mostly disappear immediately.
    When I fished for Kings commercially it was only 1 fish out of several hundred that we would find with this Kudoa Parasite and I would not know until we took the fish to the co op later that day as it took quite a few hours in the ice box for the parasite to do its work on the flesh.

    Now let me see the bit that gets you ladies into all kinds of trouble."

    The lady starts taking off her underwear but is interrupted by the doctor.

    AGM is Thursday night 6:30 at one of the members places at Deception bay

    Peter only checks the email address every month or two, pretty laid back group. But as AGM is this week, I suspect he will be checking the email wednesday.

    I think they are also doing a tagging day on the Caboolture Weir this sunday.

    This morning on the motorway, I looked over to my right and there was a Woman

    In a brand new VW Golf Doing 75Mph!!

    With her face up next to her Rear view mirror

    Putting on her eyeliner!

    I looked away

    For a couple seconds

    And when I looked back she was

    Halfway over in my lane,

    Still working on that makeup.

    As a man, I don't scare easily..

    But she scared me so much I dropped

    My electric shaver, Which knocked

    The meat pie Out of my other hand.

    In all the confusion of trying

    To straighten out the car

    Using my knees against The steering wheel,

    It knocked My Mobile phone

    Away from my ear Which fell Into the coffee

    Between my legs, Which splashed,

    And burned "Big Jim and the Twins",

    Ruined the phone, Soaked my trousers,

    And disconnected an Important call.

    BLOODY Women Drivers!!

    Oscar Pistorius



    Roses are red,

    Violets are glorious,

    Don't try to surprise

    Oscar Pistorius.



    She didn't notice Oscar sneaking up behind her. It was the silence of the limbs.



    Oscar Pistorius. Not the first South African with a race problem.



    When Oscar Pistorius said he wanted to be just like able bodied athletes, who knew he meant OJ Simpson?



    Absolutely shocking news from South Africa.

    White man arrested for murder.



    Oscar Pistorius. Just because he has no legs doesn't mean he's unarmed.






    I take it Oscar Pistorius's girlfriend bought him shoes for Valentines.



    What do you call a room full of dead people?

    An Oscar Pistorius surprise birthday party.



    Oscar Pistorius has an incredible record of wins to his name.

    Six gold medals, four silver medals and one argument.



    A young woman is dead, the life of up and coming athlete, Oscar Pistorious, is ruined, and people are already making jokes about it. That's prosthetic... i mean pathetic.



    I think it's safe to say that Oscar Pistorius won't be getting his leg over tonight.



    And the Oscar goes to...

    Prison.

    Five surgeons are discussing who were the best patients to operate on.

    The first surgeon says, 'I like to see Accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.'

    The second responds, 'Yeah, but you should try Electricians! Everything inside them is colour-coded.'

    The third surgeon says, 'No, I really think Librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.'

    The fourth surgeon chimes in, 'You know I like Construction Workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would.'

    But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed, 'You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine, and only two moving parts - the mouth and the arse - and they're interchangeable'

    A man and a woman who had never met before,
    but who were both married to other people,
    found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train.

    Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room,
    they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower.

    At 1 : 00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying,...........'Ma'am,

    I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket?


    I'm awfully cold'


    'I have a better idea,' she replied 'Just for tonight......let's pretend that we're married'

    'Wow!......................That's a great idea!' he exclaimed..

    'Good,' she replied................'Get your own blanket.'



    After a moment of silence, .........................he farted.
    At least he had the last “wordâ€. And that’s rare.

    Canadian Stimulus Plan.

    Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the Prime Minister's
    Residence, in Ottawa.
    One is from Calgary , another is from Halifax , and the third is from a
    First Nations . All three go with a Sussex drive official to examine the
    fence.
    The Calgary contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring,
    then works some figures with a pencil.
    "Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about $900. That's $400 for
    materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me."

    The Halifax contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says,
    "I can do this job for $700. That's $300 for materials, $300 for my crew
    and $100 profit for me."

    The First Nations contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to
    the Sussex Drive official and whispers, "$2,700."

    The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other
    guys. How did you come up with such a high figure?"
    The First Nations contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you,
    and we hire the guy from Halifax to fix the fence."

    "Done!" replies the government official.

    And that, my friends, is how a Government Stimulus plan works.
