  1. If you go to the hospital for that they will slice you open to get it out, stitch you up and leave a nice scar. Just push it through, crush the barb, and slide it back out. Two little dotty scars you won't see after a few months.
  2. I think they were rationing 2 cans per day of "near beer" in Afghanistan. It is like 0.02% alcohol.
  3. I never thought beer tasted that good which is why salty food is never far off... to cleanse the palate for the next swill. If I had a beer and didn't start feeling numb around the eyes it wouldn't be the same. I like that natural brewed Bundaberg Sarsaparilla. Apparently it is fermented in the bottle, and if you leave it in the car too long it can become alcoholic. But just off the shelf it's okay.
  4. I've never met an angry cocky to tell you the truth. They usually like the chance to talk to someone who isn't the dog.
  5. I dunno but if you hook two on a hook back to back they flip against each other and make a clicking noise in the water.
  6. Is the high water mark the area of that gets covered in a flood or is it the area that's wet? This sounds like an awesome trip.
  7. I saw this. They want to ban bowfishing in saltwater as a part of the proposal. You can currently bow fish where you can spearfish when it comes to saltwater. They propose ending that. I don't think this sport should be banned or even regulated. I don't think you should need anything more than a fishing license to do this. There should be rules associated with it, such as not done within 50m of other waterway users for safety, common sense type things, but apart from that there should be no special permit system or exemption for bow fishing. Doing so encourages the public to hold the view that bowfishing is inherently dangerous or risky and encourages the perception that bows are lethal weapons and not sporting goods. If it can be taken legally with a line it should be legal with a bow. Sight stalking for fish in inland waterways would probably be fun for a lot of people and get them a feed of remove pests from the ecosystem. Imagine cruising down a waterway on a little boat with an electric motor and wearing Polaroid sunnies and seeing fish hiding in the snags along the shore. Then account for refraction and take a shot and motor along until you seen the next one swimming about. Probably would be great fun and should not be seen as unusual or in need of extra regulation. Having said that I've never bowfished and have no interest in doing so, but I don't think this should be over regulated and should be an accessible option to everyone.
  8. If you are separated from the boat, such as it getting swamped or otherwise sunk, these gizmos don't seem like they will help. Maybe if you run out of fuel you can open it and launch a flare, but if a bunch of you are thrown from the boat it's not gonna save your life. It's gonna still be in the boat.
  9. Best thread on Fishraider. BTW if anyone knows where to get that bed I am interested in the price.
  10. I've heard of whitebait on two tiny gang hooks for bream but not whole pilchards on gang hooks.
  11. I also started getting back in to exercising because I want to do a nine day hike, did a two hour practice run and realised I was way out of condition and was never going to be able to go up and down hills carrying the weight of nine days of gear in a backpack. Ten years ago I was the fittest person I'd ever met but now I am a bitter dissapointment. The plan is heavy weights on legs, back, chest, arms, shoulders until mid-late spring with a calorie surplus for strength gains, then a month of cardio to get the fitness back and burn the fat gained and off I go. Cardio stops you building muscle at the optimum rate. Hope you guys get better soon.
  12. I could not believe it when I first saw it, the way it was so close to shore, the way it was so unafraid, and just how massive it was. I assumed someone had put it there for a TV commercial or something (but onlynl three of us were there) or the fisheries research office right next door up the road (now closed) put it there for research. I did not think it was a naturally occurring thing at all. It had a very artificial feel about it.
