Picked up my new boat yesterday.  Seems like an eternity since I sold my last one (about 5weeks).   Its a Clark 457 Rebel. Bought through Karee Marine.  The guys there did an awesome job and were very helpful through the whole process.  Took her out in moreton bay yesterday and in the passage today to do some of the run in hours.  So far im really happy with it.  Bush'n'Beach have just done a write up on the boat  http://www.bnbfishing.com.au/boating/clark-boats-releases-new-side-console/

Hi Guys,

Paul and I drove down the Coast after dinner. We walked down the beach just past Sea World and saw a crowd of fishos on the beach. As the tailor are hitting the Gold Coast beaches, we decided to try Narrowneck. The gutters are not as deep but we can fish away from the crowds.

It was a cold 9 degree night with a light Westerly. The sweep was quite strong and the breakers made wading in the water to cast out quite a challenge. We fished the rising tide for two hours and ended up with 6 nice tailor. The best tailor went 56, 53 & 52cm. A yummy meal of tailor fillets tonight.

Cheers... Joe.

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'

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.

While he was talking to me, his nurse came in and said,
"Doctor, there is a man here who thinks he's invisible."
The doctor said, "Tell him I can't see him."
~~~~~
Another time, a man came running in the office and yelled,
" Doctor, doctor! - my son just swallowed a roll of film!"

The doctor calmly replied, "Well let's just wait and see what develops."

~~~~~
Another time, he gave a patient six months to live.
At the end of the six months, the patient hadn't paid his bill,
So, the doctor gave him another six months.
~~~~~
One patient came in and said,

"Doctor, I have a serious memory problem."
The doctor asked, "When did it start?"

The man replied,
"When did what start?"
~~~~~
I remember one time I told my doctor
I had a ringing in my ears.
His advice:
"Don't answer it."
~~~~~
My doctor sure has his share of nut cases.
One said to him, "Doctor, I think I'm a bell."
The doctor gave him some pills and said,
"Here, take these -
If they don't work, give me a ring."
~~~~~
Another guy told the doctor that he thought
He was a deck of cards.
The doctor simply said,
"Go sit over there. I'll deal with you later."
~~~~~
When I told my doctor I broke my leg in two places,
He told me to stop going to those places.
~~~~~
You know, doctors can be so frustrating.
You wait a month and a half for an appointment,
Then he says,
"I wish you had come to me sooner."

Chubbstar lives on through this thread. Keep it rolling.

During a lady's medical examination, the doctors says,

"Your heart, lungs, pulse and blood pressure are all fine.



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

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

"No! No! Don't remove your clothes... Just stick out your tongue!"

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.

The End

My wife was screaming at me: "Leave!! Get out of this house!" she ordered.


As I was walking out the door she yelled, "I hope you die a slow and painful death!"



So I turned around and replied "So now you want me to stay?"

Monica Lewinsky turns 50.

Can you believe it?

It seems like only yesterday, she was crawling around the White House on her hands and knees, putting everything in her mouth......

Sometimes there's a full moon and the place goes haywire for a bit but it always settles down again, sometimes with casualties but most times not.

My personal mod goal is to keep the place as friendly and argument free as possible while still allowing debate to happen. Also to keep the site content suitable to all types of people so I know Dassa is comfortable allowing his girls to browse, Ted his boys, Doss his dad, Eug his Tina, Jerryl his dog, and me my wife.

PS It is always good to see these types of threads pop up when there is a bit of a kerfuffle. The community spirit is alive and is good enough to self regulate to a large extent. Cheers. :kiss: :silly:

This is only speaking from personal opinion but I would like this forum to not head in the direction I have seen other forums go down the track of. For some people like my self who works long hours in a stressful job coming home and reading this forum is a release from the day to day grind, if you don't get a chance to get out fishing as often as some people are lucky enough to do.

You get on and read about other experiences that other members have had at the sport that we all love so much. You can relate to their excitement or disappointment as you share the same dreams. What causes the downwards spiral of these forums is negativity and a whole lot of keyboard cowboy syndrome. This has a negative affect on the entire site, at first some of these threads may seem funny but can turn nasty very quickly. This promotes people not wanting to report any more and even worse the potential loss of sponsorship which in turns pays for the site that we all enjoy. 98% of posts on this site are of a positive or fun making gesture but as usual in life a minority can wreck it for all.

The first thing people will reply to this post is that this is a free country, and it is an open forum and people can post what they want, but do some of these things really needed to go so far. If everyone just thought, would I say it to their face, maybe a whole lot of the crap would not even make it onto the forum. If a post gets heated put a time out on the member or something, I am pretty sure some of the men in blue will vouch that if you chuck someone into the courthouse for the night, with maybe an accidental spraying with the fire hose they are a whole lot calmer (and sober) in the morning.

This is not my forum, I do not run this forum or have any say in it, I do not believe that my opinion will be that of 100% or even 50% of people that read this but as the first arguement that will be written opposing my opinion will be is that it is an open forum. I just believe that if every one thought about why they joined the forum for originally (fishing) not whinging and bitching that maybe we might even make this forum even better than it already is.

If enough people stop reporting, not going to socials or comps, no new sponsorship there will be no forum. It might sound over the top or dramatic but it can happen and has. Once again this is only my opinion, someone who loves to read about other peoples fishing related adventure or reporting on my own.

Thankyou for reading
