New guy

Post by Tony »

Hi everyone,
I've been lurking about on the forums before I joined up. Thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a keen fisherman (but not a good one :roll: ) I have two boys and the oldest one has been bitten by the fishing bug HARD and is driving me crazy! I'm a dog handler in the RAAF and have spent nearly 8 years in the NT, 5 in Tindal and this is my third in Darwin. I'm also into hunting and have an interest in taxidermy (I have a few ducks and geese that I'll be trying my hand at mounting this year) I also want to try molding some fish. I have a 4.15 meter tinny that is getting used alot now and I've been getting a lot of good tips from past posts.
Here are some pics of my boys with their best catches to date.

This is my youngest with a nice queenie taken at the mouth of Bleesers creek-

And this is my oldest boy with a jack trolled up at the Nighcliff rockwall.

Thanks for the welcome folks. Where does one get a FFF sticker? (Actually saw one on a cruiser the other day). And a question for Matt. What are the Barrabucks thingies under my name?

barrabucks, can be used in the shops. you get them for posts and general contributions.

Can also be used to bet against fellow fourmers on say football games :)


The FFF Stickers can be obtained from GotOne in berrimah. $3 on the counter.

Welcome Tony - think you will enjoy the forum - watch it, it is addictive!!

FF - mate thats why they call it fishing and catching - :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Once again welcome to the forum mate - you can also order smaller FFF stickers from the merchandise area at the top of the [age. they are a bit smaller than the ones from Got One - maybe better for your car. A matter of preference i guess.

Cheers
Shane

Welcome Tony & kids, keep up the fishing & keep the posts coming.
Just ask any questions you like & someone here will give advice, usually good. :cheers:
Smile, be happy & go fishing.

Work is getting in the way of my fishing.
My boss says fishing is getting in the way of my work.
I will soon fix both of our problems by quitting.
