Saintly Fish

I think you're joking..

Have you not rang them yet to check? I thought this was yore job?

Does the carpark have a height restriction?

Good as ever to have you on board. Shame the stingers didn't play ball though.

I'll take that, and it's probably the nicest thing you've ever said to me!! Oh.......btw you forgot about the other fish that was caught........ my lsd ??

Well maybe later!! 🤣

I'm saying nufink

Great write up Mike, you used your filter again didn't you?? you're like one of those instagram tarts, buffing up the colours to make them look brighter than they are. Bit like your sunburn filter 🤣

I made a comment about a selfie to somebody not that long ago, and he blew his shit!! 🤷🏻‍♂️

A farmer went out one day and bought a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop. The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, ‘OK old timer, time for you to retire.’ The old rooster replies, ‘Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these chickens. Look what it has done to me. Can’t you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?’ The young rooster says, ‘Beat it: You are washed up and I am taking over.’ The old rooster says, ‘I tell you what, young stud. I will race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop.’ The young rooster laughs. ‘You know you don’t stand a chance, old man. So, just to be fair, I will give you a head start.’ The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off running after him. They round the front porch of the farmhouse and the young rooster has closed the gap. He is only about 5 feet behind the old rooster and gaining fast. The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch when he sees the roosters running by. The Old Rooster is squalking and running as hard as he can. The Farmer grabs his shotgun and - BOOM - he blows the young rooster to bits. The farmer sadly shakes his head and says, ‘Darnit… the third gay rooster I bought this month.’ Moral of this story? … Don’t mess with the OLD TIMERS - age, skill, wisdom, plus treachery will always overcome youth and arrogance!

I'm guessing that all areas are the same (but happy to be corrected (this time only)), the potters are only allowed to drop pots out side of the main channels. So, if you go out in the day time and lay a track on your plotter, as long as it's in the channel you'll be safe as houses following the same exact route back in the dark. Just turn all lights off around you, turn the plotter display down to low and then let your eyes adjust to the dark. First couple of times it's quite un nerving , but gets a bit easier the more you do it.

Have you ever navigated to or from a mark in the dark? That's an experience !!

Well done Gary on attempting and completing the "over nighter". I've fished into the dark, and gone out in the dark, but never anchored all night. Being in the dark on the boat is quite unnerving. Well done for catching fish and getting over the nerves. Next time you'll be more relaxed (but always alert)! Thanks for sharing your adventure!

We will never know. Shame as I had my priest on standby tu!!

A young cowboy, sitting in a saloon one Saturday night, recognized an elderly man standing at the bar who, in his day, had been the fastest gun in the West. The cowboy walked over to the old-timer, bought him a drink and told him of his great ambition to be a great gunfighter. “Could you give me some tips?” he asked. The old man said, “Well, for one thing, you’re wearing your gun too high – tie the holster a little lower down on your leg.” “Will that make me a better gunfighter?” “Sure will.” The young man did as he was told, then stood up, whipped out his .44, and shot the bow tie off the piano player. “That’s terrific!” exclaimed the cowboy. “Got any more tips?” “Yep,” said the old man. “Cut a notch out of your holster where the hammer hits it – that’ll give you a smoother draw.” “Will that make me a better gunfighter?” asked the young man. “You bet it will,” said the old-timer. The young man took out his knife, cut the notch, stood up, drew his gun in a blur, and then shot a cuff link off the piano player. “Wow!” said the cowboy excitedly, “I’m learnin’ somethin’ here. Got any more tips?” The old man pointed to a large can in a corner of the saloon. “See that can of axle grease over there? Coat your gun with it.” The young man smeared some of the grease on the barrel of his gun. “No,” said the old-timer, “I mean smear it all over the gun, the handle, and all.” “Will that make me a better gunfighter?” asked the puzzled young man. “No,” said the old-timer, “but when Wyatt Earp gets done playing the piano, he’s gonna shove that gun up your arse, and it won’t hurt near as much.”

Does work, you didn't crop enough. Try cutting the head or legs off!!

Got to the boat this morning and after a night soaking in wd40 the two sections parted like a tarts legs!!

Bet e'd rather be legless.

Oh dear

Yeah, and there was you telling me not to sand it down a tad. Don't know why I listen to you sumptimez

Thanks Ian, I'll give it a try tomorrow !

I've soaked it in wd40 and still no joy 😭

My uptider is stuck solid. How to separate the sections without damage??

I've looked this up, and can't find any relevant information. Sounds intriguing though!!

Nice one Luke, shame about the rod though @headlight!!
