Re: Hailing Queenslanders (Aussie)

No... no... no... Aldo.<br />The real footy game. Rugby Leage.<br />The Cowboys from far Nth Qld cleaned up that bunch of Pansy's from Sydney (in the semis), who thought they had the Grand Final in the bag. <br />29 to Zip.<br />That's what happen when you pull your sppedos to far up your self - divides your brains in too, and those Sydney Pansy's are good at that. <br />Cheers<br />Phillip

Re: Hailing Queenslanders (Aussie)

'Rugby' & 'brains' shouldn't be used in the same sentence. Are they still doing that middle digit thing? HELLO.<br /><br />Now if you want to talk about real footy..........

Re: Hailing Queenslanders (Aussie)

Union?<br />That's my game, except when Queensland is playing, then it is any code.<br />Cheers<br />Phillip<br /><br />Aldo, if you are driving through, let me know, and call in.

Re: Hailing Queenslanders (Aussie)

NO, not union, aussie rules!!!!!!<br /><br />I'd love to, but we are flying up, 1 hr stop over in Brissy, then on to paradise .<br /><br />Last easter we spent 4 days in Caloundra, if we do that again, I'll e-mail first.

Re: Hailing Queenslanders (Aussie)

Got to admire you Mexykarnoes Aldo.<br />No matter what the sport, if it is in MCC then the place is full. I say this as the Union games played there have been well patronised, as with the League, yet the dominating game down there is Rules.<br />Reckon if an internation Grid Iron game was played there, the place would be full too.<br />Can't say the same with any other State, couldn't see the English doing it either. Not sure how the Americans would go patronising a foreign game.<br />As a side note, pity you guys can't turn up with a team in the finals!!!!<br />Cheers<br />Phillip

Re: Hailing Queenslanders (Aussie)

Yep, spot on Noel, the Tigers are gonna chew Cowboy a#se. <br /><br />PS: Wotz Aussie Rules?

 

[Kiwi Phil]

Re: Hailing Queenslanders (Aussie)

Yes, that young Tigers Team looks pretty impressive, and if the Cowboys wern't in the finals, Tigers would get my support.<br />Hey Noelm, it's Union that they play in Heaven; Jesus is the drinks boy for the Whites and God for the Blacks. (ok ok I said Blacks,..... as in All Blacks).<br />And this started off with Aldo taking a break in the Far North<br />Cheers<br />Phillip

Mark, you traitor. Your boys won, first trophy in a bazzillion years, you should be 'swanning' around.

Re: Hailing Queenslanders (Aussie)

Hey I'm pleased that the former South Melbourne won, but in all honesty I'd rather watch paint dry or mow the lawn, or weed the garden. As it was I was out fishing, which in my case is a bit like waiting for the Swans to win a trophy - a bite is a rare event, and a catch is a bloo@y miracle. We got one legal flathead in two days. So far I have averaged just over $2000 per fish with the current boat, the lawn is overgrown and the weeds are rampant!

 

[noelm]

Re: Hailing Queenslanders (Aussie)

hey Triton the flathead are "on the chew" down our way (Shellharbour) though I do not go after them much, catches of 20 or more are common and some of the flatfish experts are getting bag limits in a couple of hours

 

[Triton II]

Re: Hailing Queenslanders (Aussie)

Thanks for the info Noel. What are they chewing? I'm using prawns and lures. I'll give it a big go on Monday - public holiday and see if I can get the unit cost down to a more reasonable figure! 15 fish in two years... mutter, mutter...

 

[Dunaruna]

Re: Hailing Queenslanders (Aussie)

Thanks triton, you've given me a chuckle ($2000 per fish ).<br /><br />My last fishing outing cost me $20 in lures, $25 bait, $60 fuel, $10 ramp fees, a day off work (self employed = no pay) and a 5am start. How many fish did I catch? Zip, nada, ziltch.<br /><br />But I'd do it all again tomorrow. .<br /><br />Now, Shute harbour. Going up there in late november. I'm told that the giant travalley are bigger than VW bettles. How much should I spend chasing these monsters? Do I need to talk to my bank manager first?

Re: Hailing Queenslanders (Aussie)

Flathead.<br />This is how the wife catches them.<br />Puts out a lure that rattles, 2 sets of tripples, and makes me idle the boat over the shallows, (troll) with the motor raised, and BANG, she gets one. When she gets it in the boat she does more tap-dancing than the fish, and I have to remove the hooks. She makes me do it for hours.<br />Don't know what damage 3' of water does the motor.<br />No more bait for us.<br />Cheers<br />Phillip

 

[Dunaruna]

Re: Hailing Queenslanders (Aussie)

Specifically, what kind of lures? Got any pics? <br /><br />I've always wasted squid when chasing flatties.
