G'day Derek. You've done all you can to alert this character to a potential problem. Quite natural that you would feel some responsibility for trying to have him "change his ways", most of us would. Being a realist, as I am, I have always believed that we can change our own behaviour, but we can't change the behaviour of others, unless they are willing. I reckon you should continue being conscientious, but (sadly) lower your expectations regarding some "fellow humans". You can take the horse to the trough, but you can't make it drink. Cheers, bn

Some simple yet great ideas coming from this thread. Good one Zoran and the other contributors. bn

Terribly sorry old chap LOL. Derrh bn

You certainly have the code cracked Stewy and Stapo. Top job. bn

Cheers Scratchie. That would work very nicely. See the benefit of being on FR. Present a problem...get an effective solution. Cheers, bn

Thanks for that Zoran. How about this for your next project:? when you have a number of them made up (without hooks), how to store them without them getting tangled up? That's one that I haven't solved yet. Cheers, bn

Hi Dave. Hope you get among them up there and that there's enough water in the river. Worst start I can recall here with the Murrumbidgee too low to get the boat in, Might be headed for another 11-year drought but seriously hope not. Will be headed North end of Jan probably so hopefully, the good fishing in Sydney and Northwards, continues. Have a good Xmas mate, bn

Welcome to posting on the site Whitewash. Nice to catch up with a running sheet of activity over a period of time. Will look forward to your next post. Cheers, bn

May not have been your ideal day Brett but I would love to do that. Hope you get what you're after, next time. bn

Very topical Zoran. Definitely has its good points, but equally IT IS EVIL! bn

Glad your motor is running perfectly Fabian. bn

Wouldn't be dead for quids. Days like that are the ones that are never forgotten. Great read, thanks for posting. bn

Quality! Well done. What a buzz. bn

...and a bigger boat. Top effort which could have gone pear shaped, but he hung in. bn

Nice new outfit there mate. bn
