So the threadies are on the chew at the moment and my god the fishing is fun. This week I went out three times for a number of them best going 1070 was nice to crack the metre mark. Fish were caught on gulp shrimp and live mullet/prawns. As a bit of fun I've reverted to fishing with Handline when using live bait and it's been awesome!! I'll say it yet again

I read this thread from the beginning seems to be alot of non existent members now but from alot of it people seem to take deckies because they want their fishing trips funded or labour for cleaning the boat  whilst I do agree with contributing I think its important to remember youre going fishing anyway so long as they bring their own gear or alert you to what they do or dont have. If you are taking someone who doesnt have a boat youre doing a kind deed. Dont make an offer to take someone fishing because you want to cut your trip costs or bought a boat you cant afford to take out, take someone fishing because you want to take someone fishing, give someone an experience they wouldnt get otherwise. If you are a good host im sure offers for compensation or labour will come and if not eh you were going anyway and you done a good deed. @rayke1938 is the best host.

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......

Tea is more dangerous than beer. Please avoid drinking tea.

I discovered this last night, I had 14 beers till 3am at the pub
while my wife was just drinking tea at home.
 
You should have seen how violent and angry she was when I got home.
 
I was peaceful, silent and headed to bed as she shouted at me...
all night and even into the next morning.

                                                                                       Please ladies, if you can't handle your tea, don't drink it...

Here's a little fishing tale of a big North Pine Dam bass.
In August 2012, Dennis (@Dinodadog) recorded a new PB for himself when he captured quite a sizeable bass. This fish was huge, and fell only just short of the magical 60cm mark, coming in at 58.5cm. Being this size, the bass was probably quite old, maybe even 15 years or more. Adding to this, the fish had at some point been captured at least once before, as it had an old algae encrusted tag stuck in its back. Unfortuately though, there were no records of this tag. Since that day, on almost every trip out to the dam, I wonder where that bass is, and hope that someday we'll see it again. I mean, it would surely be 60cm by now!
 


 
Well, skip forward to June 2016. Another fisherman by the name of Charlie was out on the dam hunting a big bass himself. Charlie was currently enjoying greatest month of his fishing life, nailing a few whoppers and it would be fair to say he was in great form! He hooked and landed the biggest bass he'll see for a long time, laid it out on the brag mat, and up comes a new PB of 58cm. Charlie, absolutely thrilled, also notices this fish has a crusty old tag in its back. The details are sent in to Suntag, and back come the results that link these two very lucky fisherman. Charlie and Dennis, both recaptured the very same bass four years apart. The fish had not grown one bit! The very slight difference in measurement can be explained by small variations in measuring devices, or possibly that the bass was in fat winter condition when Dennis caught it, and a bit slimmer (and even older) when Charlie found it.
 


 
So, if you're hoping to see that whopper you caught again one day, it is very possible! Catch and release, so someone else can land the big one!
