Brave words saying that to someone who lives near the border. Nothing as insulting as getting mistaken as a QLDer I had a bad upbringing, spent my final school years in a Brisbane boarding school and found any NSW victories bitter sweet due to the 30/1 advantage they had on us after the game

I cant quite make the pic out. How about you retake the photo, in macro/focus, no flash just good light and maybe take a pic of each month left this year and post them up. Not that I want to print them out mind you, i just like to check on quality before I buy, really

It's not all bad, by loosing the second makes a good game of the third and more importantly has provided the opportunity to bet a couple of dim witted QLD's a couple of Barra lures on the outcome So in a few weeks NSW will have shown themselves the better team, again, and i will have a couple of shiny lures. Re the second game, It is always harder to win at Brisbane but i think that they came out harder and wanted it more than NSW. The mistakes that NSW made though cost them the game. If they had made the ball stick more then maybe they would of had the heart and inspiration to go on with it and lift their game.

1. Thou shalt not rent the movie Chocolat. 2. Under no circumstances may 2 men share an umbrella. 3. Unless he murdered someone in your immediate family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours. 4. You may exaggerate any anecdote told in a bar by 50 percent without recrimination; beyond that, anyone within earshot is allowed to call bullshit. (Exception: When trying to pick up a girl, the allowable exaggeration rate rises to 400 percent) 5. If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off-limits forever. 6. The maximum amount of time you have to wait for another guy who's running late is 5 minutes. For a girl, you are required to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 scale. 7. Bitching about the brand of free beer in a buddy's refrigerator is forbidden. You may gripe if the temperature is unsuitable. 8. No man is ever required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering a friend's birthday is strictly optional. 9. Agreeing to distract the ugly friend of a hot babe your buddy is trying to hook up with is your legal duty. Should you get carried away with your good deed and end up having sex with the beast, your pal is forbidden to speak of it, even at your bachelor party. 10. Before dating a buddy's ex, you are required to ask his permission and he, in return, is required to grant it. 11. Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and, more importantly, the ability to pick a buffalo wing clean. 12. If a man's zipper is down, that's his problem-you didn't see nothin'. 13. The universal compensation for buddies who help you move is beer. 14.

A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight. 17. If a buddy is outnumbered, out manned, or too drunk to fight, you must jump into the fight. Exception: If within the last 24 hours his actions have caused you to think, "What this guy needs is a good ass-whoopin'", then you may sit back and enjoy. 18. Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while weight lifting: "Yeah, baby, push it!" "C'mon, give me one more! Harder!" "Another set and we can hit the showers." "Nice ass, are you a Sagittarius?" 19. Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both. That's just plain mean. 20. Never talk to a man in the bathroom unless you're on equal footing: either both urinating or both waiting in line. In all other situations, a nod is all the conversation you need. 21. If a buddy is already singing along to a song in the car, you may not join him...too gay. 22. Before allowing drunken friend to cheat on his girl, you must attempt one intervention. If he is able to get on his feet, look you in the eye, and deliver a "F%CKOFF!" You are absolved of your responsibility. 23. The morning after you and a babe who was formerly "just a friend" have carnal, drunken monkey sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason not to nail her again before the discussion about what a big mistake it was.

Seeming that I dont live down there now I will PM you the spot where I used to get my weed, both wire and crispy at this time of year. Make sure you wear shorts Thats a nice EP there. They seem to hand around down there alot and are always a good chance with the pistol shrimp. Unfortunately you also get a number of people keeping heaps of them The luderick (sorry but that is the name I have always known them as and it refers to nothing but the fish) season has been pretty poor the past couple of years due to the shallow entrance but I hear that it is a bit deeper at the moment so hopefully it will let them in. I normally fished in front of the waterways at the moored punts or up at budgiewoi but since they removed all the trees at Budgie it does not seem to produce like it did. Now that I am up on the North coast I will need to pull the Alvey down and the whippy rod and chase them in the Richmond. Nothing as relaxing as watching a float while sitting in the Winter sun.

Definately a casting and trolling lure. Workes very well with the big bib for working through timber as it dives quick into deep pockets and floats up quick to work over structure. I have picked up cod, yellowbelly and bass but I know they work just as well up north on Barra, jacks and most of the northern species as the father inlaw has replaced many of his nilmaster barra lures for stumpjumpers as he recons they are alot cheaper, work as well and swim true from the box which was a problem he was having with the nilsmasters.

Whats wrong with that ' lure making to the EXTREME!!! ' I did pick that up in the proof read but figured that most people have an undercovered area and work it out

I have made a few poppers from dowel and a bibbed lure from the same. The poppers are fairly easy. Just cut the length you want, angle the front ( I do anyway) and if you dont have a lathe then an angle grinder in a vice with a sandpaper disk allows you to turn the wood down to a shape you desire and then use fine paper to smooth it all off. I use wire for the rings and just use a drill with a small hook made from a bent nail. Double a piece of suitable type wire and hold the open end with pliers and twist the other with a drill nice and tight. Drill the holes in the lure just big enough to slip the wire into and secure with 24hr arildite (must be 24hr) and let dry. I have painted my poppers with chrome paint and dipped one of the heads in fluro orange. They seem to work fine, swim and bloop well and cast a mile. Never had a problem with the wire pulling either. I made the bibbed lure the same and copied a YARRUM cod lure (not that it ended up looking loke the Yarrum . It swims ok but as yet has not pulled a fish. I used metal sheet for the bib but the line is connected to the lure. I also make up my own blackfish pencil floats and have found that while cedar is the most common timber to use by using other types of hardwood you dont need as much lead and can cast them further. I must admit though I can get a bit anal when I make these as I put fancy thread top and bottom with a cross pattern to make them look all nice which causes some irritation when you loose one to a fish Definately a good thing to do on a rainy day. Just take it slow, both for the sanding down and the painting and if using the angle grinder try and do it outside as dust gets everywhere.

Plan was to head out the Evans Head bar to the reefs on Saturday or Sunday but the weather report shows rain both days and showers Monday with 15-25kt winds so that will be canned . Maybe a session of South Ballina beach tonight for a jew or put the bass boat in the river for a flick. If the weathers clears Monday but too windy for outside fishing then I have been meaning to put the canoe in some of the local creeks for a recon trip for the coming springs Bass season.

G'day Jethro. If you are looking at camping and wish to fish some deep long pools then dont dismiss the further up sections of the Clarance and Mann rivers. If you want any info then send me a pm. Ps, I like the Bass pic under the Wyong Bridge, fish that river many a time when I lived at good old Watanobbie

I believe in covering the options. Pelican 15.5ft canoe with electric for the Bass and Cod, Stacer 4mt Bass Elite with electric and 35hp johno for the Bass, Barra and Jew/other fish and Stacer 4.8 Centurion Cuddy with 90hp merc for the family days out and off shore. Unfortunately I need to work more hours and fish less to pay for my hobby
