what ellicat said

doesn't have to be Sikaflex ,small tube of something similar will do.

u can get it in small tooth paste size tube .

if u don't have all the spare parts it just makes extra work as u have to make bits up out of what u have at hand .

3 bags of ice and 2 packs of servo pillies for burley aint much to ask for aye. or is it? .

definitely not to much to ask .

the 2 times i jumped on board with mick , went to the river mouth and out front in the bay.

mick was taking the boat for a run.

the other time a few of us from the site where down at colmslie having a look /chat ,just getting out of the house sort of thing .

mick was down there to ,he was like want to come for a fish ,i was like yeah ok .

at the end of the day/night back at the ramp i asked mick u want a some $ for fuel ,he was like no its ok .

they are them type trips where i'm already going to the river any1 want to come along sort of thing .

most of us guys are not to fussed on fuel $ etc for these style trips as we all ready going and its not like we are travelling far etc .

but its still polite to offer the skipper fuel $ ,weather he wants it or not .

there is a big difference in cost between a trip to the river mouth compared to across the other side of the bay or off shore. your talking doing 10 ish km compared to 100 km or more .

i went out with mark around 2 weeks ago .

when he offer me a spot i asked how much $ to throw in ,for me this was to make sure i had enough $ .

now he has the cost of fuel for his car ,his place to the ramp and back .

cost of fuel for the boat + oil,rabybay to the rock and back .

he also got the bait .

so i was quite happy to chip in my $ ,its a cheap day out i reckon .

when i gave mark the $ i asked if it was enough as it was a little choppy ,this means more fuel used .

he was like nope its good .

i think what most guys ask u to chip in dose not really cover all the costs .

well that my little story /experiences.

oh i got more to add .

when my bro ,scott, etc ,come over here and we go middle of the river area its kewl ,i don't want fuel $ etc .

haven't worried about boat fuel/oil either as i used bugger all with the little motor .

even with the new boat and bigger motor its not much 25 liters of fuel /oil ,dose a whole day of stuffing around in the river .

its fuel for my car that cost me ,the old 4x4 uses about 40 $ to get me from home pinkenba ramp and back or tinny creek etc around the 80 km of driving .

if i'm all ready going and i ask them to come along i don't ask for fuel $ .

but if i'm not going and they hit me up to take them out then i spilt the cost of fuel by 2 or 3 people ,that's all i take out me and 1 or 2 more .

don't worry about bait ,ice etc .

it works it self out ,just like whose shout it is for beers .

most the time we just put 20 $ in each and that covers fuel ,bait and beers .

a good cheap day out

i get out fished my deckies all the time ,its not real hard to out fish me .

nice lookin pup there kriso .

bet it's a shame to see the old fella go .

nice looking old dog there ellicat.

nice looking puppy in roxy.

nice looking girl u got there to fishingnut.

i used to have a bull mastiff cross ridge back ,she was a nice dog .

found some pics of a puppy i had bull/staffy, was a girl my replacement for maxine .

but the boss made me get rid of her at 1 year she was to rough for the kids .

we had a new born a 2 year old and a 5 and 6 year old in the younger kids .

anyways a few weeks ago in a search for car pics i found some pics of her as a puppy .

sheba

hahaha

hahaha

Do you know that when a woman wears a leather dress, a man's heart beats quicker, his throat gets dry, he gets weak in the knees, and he begins to think irrationally???

Ever wonder why?

It's because she smells like a new Ute.

hahaha :laugh:

that looks like a big 1 .

biggest i have seen a pic of is wes's threadfin .140 cm 18 kg .

another of simba

her and max where good mates .for a small dog and big dog they got on well.i think max thought simba was here baby.

here is another pic of max

she moved here head in this 1 ,so we can see her face .she was 12 years old .had to carry her to the car and to the vets .

haha nice kev.

nothing ever plain with u hey lol

this is maxine (max)she was a ridge back x bull mastiff .the best dog i have had.

add pic soon got to scan it.

found a pic so put it up .

this was her last day ,a sad day i found her in the garden all dirty and not moving .so i picked her up ,put her in the carport ,cleaned her up ,we all said our good bye's ,then a trip to the vet.

the is our old girl .she is about 11 years old. simba

so now i got a young and old girl lol.

this is my new girl .got her yesterday instead of going fishing.

jessy

yeps

for outside i would go with my dad ,i have trust there ,been in his boats and boating since i was 5 years old .31 years there a lot of trust there.

any1 else i don't really know and haven't been out with a bay trip or 2 would be in order first,i think.

it can get real out in the bay too.

i have seen and remember some scary weather in the bay over the years.

i guess when u meet them etc u would be able to make a call,on it all.

when i was a boy and lived at home ,trips with dad was helping out etc .when i moved out if i got invited on a trip it was helping our and a offer to chip in some $.he always said no in the early days ,so would do something nice for him etc.i reckon its all good to split every thing between the guys.2 or 3 or 4 whatever it is.all helps and is good .running a boat is not cheap.and just giving a hand.

i haven't put my hand up for any decky spots offered recently as things are tight and i don't have the $.if i ask if there is decky spots going that means i got a few bucks or am going to work something out etc.

sad to hear u have sour taste in my mouth gazza.

hope u don't write off every1 just cause of 1 bad 1.

anyways it's common courtesy to chip in and give a hand,clean up etc.

nothing really as i can't remember what rating my line was on my old reels.

looks like 10 kg/23 lb .by the some stuff i got now that that rating,look about the same .

prob when u have been using cheap pre spooled reels for the last 20 years.

atm i seting up new gear and re spooling gear 6 lb mono or braid and 15 lb mono and braid .

i have been married 14 years so know what them jokes are about .waiting to be slaped
