The ones who fight for their beliefs are those who achieve their dreams.

Can we just take the warning stickers off everything and let natural selection take its place, I mean if its spinning fast dont put your fingers in it..... Its not hard

pm sent mate
When asked by a non-fisherman "how many fishing rods do you actually need?", the correct response is either:
A) n+1 (where n is the number if rods you currently have); or

B) n-1 (where n is the number of rods which would cause your other half to dump you)

Metal slicers, halco poppers or anything on the surface, faster the better, nothing better than watching queenys fight over your lure.

Hi Mud, met up with Oldfart at the wharf, but scored a big donut. Got a brief hookup on a cooked prawn (??GT) but was too slow pulling the handline in and lost him.

OF, got those birds-nests untangled yet??? :D (sorry, couldn't resist - well, could have, but didn't!!)

Nice to meet you Graham.
