Send me an email at adeaner@dodo.com.au

Tell me where you would to fish and will send you a few to get started. They are not top secret spots, but it will get you started.

Best bet is to go to a local tackle shop and buy a couple of local navigation charts for your area. Then just read off the longitude and latitude for areas of interest. This will get you started. Really should have these on your boat anyhow so they are a good investment.

Well here is the latest tony, I take my 4 year 2 times a week to the bohle, this has been going on for the last ohhh month and we have caught nothing!!! I figure persistance will pay off. a couple of weeks ago we went to a place called west piont and my 13 year old out fished us all with a pair of trevally, tonight we came home with tension in the air!!! Just got a new rig, hubby and myself keen as mustard, winds up a bit but headed out anyway......mistake!! boy providing burley big time!!!! came home husband upset, son sick and me well I am here chatting to you guys and getting merry!!!!

thanks for the support I just figure if I am home all week I should just GO FISHING!!

oh and by the way if you want your wife to do those things for you tell her she cannot!!!! worked for my hubby!!

[skippa]

AL,

I reckon your hubbies one smart dude, who's taken who out now?

I keep telling mrs skip I'll stay home no problems, but she knows I'll go fishing, just like you do ;D ;D

Nice chatting AL, and down another Jimmy or Jack for me, its Saturday nite after all.

cheers,

PS I'm guessing no Trevs tonite ?

[al_neibling]

NO only a lonely shark....... like I said weather was not really in our favour, not with kids in toe anyway.

I thought I was doing a good thing today and bought some pvc to make a squid light only to find out that our flouro light is a bit bigger than I expected and the stupid thing did not fit!!

It's great being a girl I used that whole I have know concept of time or space thing, went down ok....... ;D

was good chatting to you too,

where are you located the pin was my old stomping ground before we moved here, used to con my girlfeinds into have days off and coming fishing with me......the pins fished out ppl say!! I never came home empty handed!! think I need to learn to fish again for up here.

Haaa I see,

So you use the sexist angle to your advantage eh, yeah I guess it's a 2 way street ;) but you have to watch out AL, it's a bad tradesman(person) who blames his (her) tools ya know ;D

I'm not far from the Pin, Redlands way.
One more post and you can PM me some marks for the Pin ;)

At least you came home with some Flake fillets, yeah?

Cheers, (and another Jimmy swig)

Sometimes a girl has to resort to such measures, I even went as far as dying my hair blonde so when I come up with something half smart ppl are really impressed

[skippa]

Al, blonde or not, you're impressive. Wish you could meet my deckie. Bit derogotory calling her a deckie but *she* does the driving and towing and keeping the kids in line. I do the fshing and get all the glory when I publish my ugly mug holding a piece of vermin. Couldn't do it without her help. I think you're possibly of the same ilk. Nice to meet ya :D

I am sure that if she is doning all of that, she does it cause she loves it and lets face it how many blokes actually ALLOW their girls to come at all let alone trust them to reverse a trailer!!

I have to admit my man has no choice now but he know what he was getting himself in for!!

Best thing is we just got a new boat and when we go out together he is my deckie.....(ok he does not trust me with it yet!!!) but I was the one that came home half full of amber and he is in bed now!!

Welcome to the site Al..

Try your local library for books on GPS fishing marks..here on the Gold Coast they have all the latest books in stock, I just browes using their .au site and order...so I would say yours will also.

Cheers,
