Re: BOM Tsunami warning

Anyone here in contact with someone on Lord Howe Island? Yep, I spoke to Marine Parks crew this morning, they said there was no damage, so sign of surge or anything although SES and the Police took it pretty seriously. Guests and locals were evacuated to high ground (in the paddock above the right ...

Re: The Artificial Reef thing

For these reasons and numerous others, if somebody attempted to push forward an artificial reef structure in my local area, I'd fight it tooth and fcuken nail. Well Nick you might just get your chance yet... note the second article on this page... http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/recreational/yo...

Re: Sharks & Beach fishermen: what will you do?

soft plastics and a kayak for flatties. not at the beach obviously. loads of fun.

i reckon thats piss funny that you would tell a beach fisho (or bwastard as you call them) to piss off if he was fishing near you! what gives you the idea that you are superior to any other beach user?

Re: Platinum V's Gold

Don't buy a Gold - I bought one, the velcro on the neck seal fcuked up after just a few months. The suit itself was OK to start but didn't last. Knee pad stitching ripped, plus lining in lower leg went after one season. I'm up for a new steamer too this winter but there is no way I would go back to ...

Did anybody else notice in January Tracks, page 80 " Pedra Branca. Two hectares of hard rock 30 km off Tasmania. So far it has only been home to a resilient breed of lizards and a few birds " THAT is all the mention the skinks get? Not even a reference to the fact that they are skinks? Just lizards!...

I think Pancakes might be a flounder. Soles are the other way up - e.g. eyes on right side of head. I know its off topic, and I apologise. I just think these things are important.

On an aside, and I hate to be a wet blanket... the wave.. well.. it kinda wasn't all that great. From the 60 mins footage anyway, it seemed like the barrel was shifty, hard to find, and there wasn't the nice exit that other hellman spots (e.g. Shipsterns, Chopes) have. Am I right Ben? You have to c...
