The Place Is Hopping Options

[kkw]

I consider Fishing Oz Style as "my" home forum. It is dead as a dodo lately and only the same very few post anything or do so on other sites. Shame really.

Anyway, went for a fish on Monday to see what was around on the rock scene. We had some big seas a few weeks back when I was in central Aus and it was an eye opener to see how much sand is now gone from Jibbon beach. The bottom of the deer fence was at ground level and now sits a metre above it with loads of kelp hanging off it some 3m high. Today however, the swell was only a couple of feet high and the wind was from the west, so where I fish was going to be calm and protected by the high cliffs at my back.
A mate had made me a new ocean blackfish float from carbon fibre and machined weights on the stem. A huge overkill for a float but it looked really sleek and blingy. My two mates, whisperin Jack and Bob the bus driver were with me, but I was rigged up asnd ready to go while they were still putting their cleats on. Cast in and was on within literally 10 seconds. You beaudy I thought. In for a great session today. Nice fish into the keeper net. Well, he must have been the lone ranger because they were far and few between after that. The new float cast like a dream, pulling line off the centrepin with ease. Perfectly weighted too. Bob got a nigger and Jack caught about 6 cockies before finally landing a blackfish. The water was crystal clear and the swell was just a perfect size to create a decent wash but not be dangerous at all. Hardly got our feet wet. Loads of birds diving on bait about a klm out. Saw six separate pods of whales cruise north, close in to the rocks. What massive animals they are.
On one drift, my float just shot downwards and I was hooked in to a good fish. Got him in close and saw it was a pig of around 40cm. He took a dive under the ledge about 10ft out and pinged the line. My super duper float bobbed up a minute later and was last seen heading towards N.Z. I was tempted to bump Jack in and suggest he swim after it, but it was a bit cold. Lost another float to another pig and landed one a few minutes later.
It was a glorious day to be where we were and the fishing was just a bonus. I ended up with five niggers and a drummer, whilst Bob and Jack got one nigger each. We all got a few cockies each as well. They don't bounce high enough to drop kick back in. They always manage to swallow the hook though and the need to re-rig after landing one. Good to see that there are a few fish around and it will only get better as the month rolls on.

250kg unloaded?
Does that mean the trailer itself if 250kg or under can be towed and what is on/in the trailer isnt included?
Bloody bonus if so, only snag is do they go by actual weight or gvm?

Kinda reminded me of this.





Golf Panties....

The Swede's wife steps up to the tee and, as she bends over to place her ball, a gust of wind blows her skirt up and reveals her lack of underwear.

'Good God, woman! Why aren't you wearing any skivvies?', Ole demanded.

'Well' she said, 'you don't give me enough housekeeping money to afford any.'

The Swede immediately reaches into his pocket and says, 'For the sake of decency, here's a 50. Go and buy yourself some underwear..'

Next, the Irishman's wife bends over to set her ball on the tee. Her skirt also blows up to show that she, too, is wearing no undies. 'Blessed Virgin Mary, woman! You've no knickers Why not?'

She replies, 'I can't afford any on the money you give me.'

Patrick reaches into his pocket and says, 'For the sake of decency, here's a 20. Go and buy yourself some underwear"!

Lastly, the Scotsman's wife bends over. The wind also takes her skirt over her head to reveal that she, too, is naked under it.

'Sweet mudder of Jaysus, Aggie! Where ta friggin hell are yer drawers?' She too explains, 'You dinna give me enough money ta be able ta affarrd any.'

The Scotsman reaches into his pocket and says, 'Well, fer the love 'o decency, here's a comb .... Tidy yerself up a bit.'
