[a_big_red_1]

eg: mine is.....the first 2 largest c/trout belong to the boat and the rest of the fish is devided by the number of PPL on board
is that too weird???? :-/ :-/

Only three rules, no Bananas #;D, enjoy yourselves #;D and what I says goes #>:(

[marlinqld]

no bananas, no green undies, anyone who doesnt catch a fish has to moon the ramp when we get back..... ;D ;D ;D

[Reef_fisher]

only one, what the skipper says goes.

[Blackened]

G'day
I may have to work in my own little, biggest quality fish bellongs to the boat for myself...

For me, it's NO BANANAS, What I says goes, and you must have respect for the boat, who is on the boat, the gear, the other people using the waterways and the general environment.

[dogsbody]

We work as a team and we do it my way. NO bananas. If you must piss don't do it facing the wind.

[doogs]

On a recent fishing trip, the 6 of us made a rule that that whoever caught the least fish MUST try out for Australian Idol.
Anyway, my good mate who I own half of our boat with, and also fish with every week came away on the 3 day trip and did NOT catch 1 fish. He copped enough flak about that but now has the unenviable task of th Oz Idol tryouts next year!!!

By the way, why no bananas????

[BAIT_MAN]

Rule number one. The skipper is always right
Rule number two. If the skipper is wrong revert to rule number one.

Ps I also run a dry ship.

[PinHead]

do what you want within reason..don't care about the bananas or green undies..no superstitions on my boats.

[backhoe]

When we get back nobody touches the hose but me i.e. no-one hoses the boat and trailer off as good as I do it.
At least that was I can't blame anybody down the track if the thing corrodes

[Nico.d.R]

i only have a 10 foot tinny with a 10hp on the back so my main rule is NO PIKE EEL's come into the boat , cut the line once you see one on your line . They are savage beasts and could cause major problems in such a small space , could be a good way to get funniest home vid footage #;D . I remmember reading a fish book years ago , the author said he was in the brissy river when he saw 2 blokes in a tinny catch a pike eel ....to cut long story short the fishermen ended up in the water while the pike stayed in the boat #;D

[backhoe]

Oh
And lower the anchor don't drop or throw the bloody thing

[finga64]

anyone who doesn't catch a fish has to moon the ramp when we get back..... #;D ;D ;D
Thank god you didn't tell me that one last Sunday
The people in the next bay would have got a hell of a fright with my huge white butt staring them in the face ;D

We have kids rules...who-ever catches the first fish has to buy ice-creams on the way home.
And the skippers the boss...end of story.

[StevenM]

Oh
And lower the anchor don't drop or throw the bloody thing


Yeah, that really gets up my goat. Its a bloody anchor not a frisbie I usually tell them.

[FNQCairns]

For christ sake don't crowd the centre console!!, and no pot heads packing.

No other rules except common sense. I am only the skipper when there is reason to be, tricky situations,sandbars, unfamiliar ground etc.

cheers fnq

[a_big_red_1]

LOL, there is some gooden ones in there :) ;D :-X

[Black_Rat]

;D I've seen it a few times on my boat ! they throw it like a frisbe #;D alot of the time it's the anchor wrapped around the chain and rope #::) I said drop it !!! and yeah don't be lazy untie the anchor rope before we shift spots #;)

Nothing worse than trying to anchor in deeper water when the anchor rope is still tied to the bollard with not enough length #::) ;D

[BilgeBoy]

Remind me to take my phone out of my pocket!!! I have a habit of drowning them at the ramp.

[JEWIENEWIE]

If the motor is runnng all arses on seats, if you have a beer on board drink the bloody thing dont leave it where it will be knocked over, if you drop a sinker pick it up, my boat, my rules.

[Ron173]

I dont have many rules, but have 1 major which I'm surprised hasnt turned up so far, maybe its just so obvious....

No Smoking! ...... 100ltrs of unleaded onboard is enough for me to justify that one.

I prefer the grog to be kept for later on, but if someone MUST, then I relent.

My decision is final on any issues.

Most important one is have fun.

Ron

[Menion]

no bannanas??? Why is that?? too expensive maybe??

[honda900]

For those who have asked : - Bannana's are bad luck..


What no kids under 16 rule, #

all must wear a jacket, #no jacket no boat, # simple.

only 100 litres..I carry 450 litres and still smoke on board...not too perturbed about that.
Do some of you people take others out for a fun time or run a prison ship.

LOL.............

[indy]

I dont touch the anchor and the fish gets divided evenly the rest do what ever you like just catch fish

[shubeej]

1 rule on my boat is no bikini tops ,unfortunately everybody breaks that rule
shubeej

[marshy]

life jackets worn by all, that way the kids don't have anything to complain about. It is a good safety idea & I reckon it will be the law sooner or later anyway.

Merry Christmas

[GAD]

only rules are

1 - don't piss me off
2 - keep it clean , blood bin for killing , ocean for all bodily functions
3 - we fish together , we clean together and every one gets aleast one fish to take home
4 - on the way home fuel up and split the cost


Should never really have to tell anyone the rules as they seem pretty straight forward and I don't think they are unreasonable .
But there is always one. caught the first fish bleed it on the floor burnt my seat with a ciggy and then when we got back to the ramp, while he's getting the car and trailer, he rang his mrs to pick him up he'd had enough , next thing I know he's leaving with his gear and fish , while I'm cleaning the boat and he still owes me cash for fuel and bait. hence don't want to know him and everyone knows the rules and agrees or they don't go.

[disorderly]

#Only rule is I must be informed #of any major psychiatric problems before departure.
# This rule has come about due to a recent over-niter with an eccentric guy,who had occasionally done a days labouring for me in the past.
#I hadnt seen him in a while and wasnt informed till afterwoods #that he had totally lost the plot and been detained by police and put in the pysch ward for wandering the streets shouting at the universe.
#I still cringe just thinking about this trippy trip.The guy was positively quite insane and I was on the boat,70kms from land,for 2 days with him.man oh man.

#cheers Scott

I have no problems about bananas or any other fruit / food. I'm not superstitious about anything whatsoever. Being alergic to any form of tobacco smoke, no one smokes in the boat or within 30 meters of it. # The second in command and I just hate it when we start catching fish and some one drops anchor near us and starts to smoke. We have to move away upwind or leave. Their foul stench is unbearable. [smiley=rifle.gif]
The tank is filled up on the way home and the fuel costs are split up when out with the mates.
ALL sinkers and swivels MUST be accounted for. If someone looses one and it falls under the floor, they have to pull the floor up at home and find the objects, hooks included. This is explained before we leave. [smiley=huh2.gif] [smiley=huh2.gif]
The guests buy the bait and ice if needed and supply the Bundy ginger beer for the skipper.
The skippers makes all major decisions.
The boat must be kept as tidy as possible and no dangerous fish come aboard, (like pike eels, happy moments and big noahs).
Everyone helps wash the boat down but only I, myself, will run the engine to wash it out.
The hardest part for everyone is that they have to accept my sense of humour and my jokes (which are allways clean). [smiley=bigcry.gif]
The number one rule, is that we all enjoy the fellowship with each other and have a great day.

Eagle [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

[Deiter]

After the last trip out, i have a new rule;

When retrieving the anchor chain, DO NOT DRAG IT OVER MY PAINTED BOW RAIL!!! >:( >:( >:(

NOT HAPPY JAN :-X
