Hello Everyone,
Does Ausfish have a Glossary of Fishing/Boating terms?
If not can you suggest a website where I can find one.
All the best,

Here are some:

run aground: "you said port!!"
run out of fuel: "I just filled it up!!"
anchor stuck: "c'mon you Ba$tard!"
greetings to a jetskier: "hey farknuckle it's 30 metres!!!"
busted off by a big one: "aahhh probably a shark anyhow"
finally nailing a good fish: "yaaaaahooooo!!"

any more people?
