Re: The Fishermans Arm's

G’day TwoWatt<br />Nice looking boat you got there. What are you drinking the first ones always on me.<br />Tell us a bit about yourself were you come from, were you fish eg.<br /><br />Hay JB I have to slum it for a bit ran out of Chivas and had to open a bottle of Glenfiddich. Still what the hell after the first there or four you get used to it hic!!<br /><br />Good to hear that the carb didn’t keep out of action 12Footer. I’m the same as you I always keep a full set of tools on board and a tow rope just in case. <br />

Re: The Fishermans Arm's

Me too.<br /><br />Don't take the bottle with you or you might not get a lot done.<br /> <br /><br />Spent a few hours this morning putting my crayfish pots in for the first time this season. Hope I do better this year than last, and that won’t be hard, as I didn’t get a single cray last season.<br />

Re: The Fishermans Arm's

Hey, Polo, I hear you. If it will make you feel any better, it SNOWED here yesterday! Right here in by Gawd TEXAS. And, of course I had both boats out of the shed and without their covers. <br /><br />Say, Mate! A rusty nail over here, straight up and room temperature. Now Mr. 12Footer, Sir, tell me more about those Caloosahatchie bass.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB

Re: The Fishermans Arm's

Seems like bad wether all round it has gone cold over here and we had a bit of a storm on Friday. I haven’t been able to get out and check my Cray pots since I put them down which is a pane in the butt.<br /> <br />The temperature has drop to a cold 23 degrees C so the best place is by the bar, must be my shout! Name your poison. <br /><br />Yes 12Footer, like JB says tell us more about these bass were all ears.

Re: The Fishermans Arm's

Well, gents, I guess I should be the one buying the rounds today...WE had the same weather Polo is now experiancing 3 months ago, and FOR 3 MONTHS...Rain every day,temps in the mid-90Fs ,humidity up there in the ozone...Skeeters so thick, They'd drink "Deep Woods Off'!!!<br /><br />And to top the whole thing off, much like a grand finale' , a Tropical Storm that did millions in storm-surge damage.<br />But, gent's, I wish you were here now. It has't rained in over a week,60's at night, low to mid-80's durrng the day. THE Absolutely best day of 2001 (wether-wise),was last night. A full moon,lighting-up the channel markers,boat ran flawlessly...<br />But,As the old sayin goes, mates, "God has a sense of houmor". I was in unfamiliar waters,so concentrating on navigation was destracting. I even got lost for about 20 minutes.The fish were hiding, I know not where...But charts and sealife aside, I had a good night on the water. And to top it all off, I found a great new bait and tackle shop with a RAMP right next to it!! 5buk fee, but what a spot!! The owner says he opened up 3 weeks ago, but the ramp has allways been there. I passed that ramp for twenty YEARS, not knowing of it's existance, because the place used to be a run-down gay bar...<br />But, I plan on 2 months of excellent weather about this time of year,and plan a vacation in there somewhere. This year, it's the last week in December. Come on down, and we will try Boca Grande Pass for some night fishin.<br /><br />

Re: The Fishermans Arm's

Hi 12 mate <br />I would love to come over and spend some time fishing and boating, but unfortunately I’m a bit pressed for time at present. <br />The boss’s dad rang from the UK last night to say that him and the mother-in-law will be over in January so I have to get the house up together, all work and no play.<br /><br />Sounds like you had a good trip last time out. The weather is starting to get warmer here but we had a cold couple of days this last week.<br />The 1st of December is the official start of our summer so the hot weather is just around the corner. I always love this time of year as you can get out and about and know it will be fine for the next 3 or 4 months.<br /><br />Anyway it’s getting late! time for bed catch you next time your in for a drink. <br />

Re: The Fishermans Arm's

<br /><br />My computer is going in for an upgrade this weekend so just in case I don't get it back before Xmas I would like to wish you all the best for the festive season.<br /><br />Hope next year will see peace on earth and good will to all.<br /><br />needadrink<br />

Re: The Fishermans Arm's

G’day all<br />I though it was time I got back at the computer and said hi!<br />It’s been a bit hectic over here the last few months but it’s now starting to slow down a little.<br />The wife and I went too Tasmania for a couple of weeks for a holiday didn’t get to do any fishing but from what I saw I will be going back on my own for a fishing holiday.<br />The rivers over there seem to be running alive with big trout a fly fishers paradise. <br />The crayfish season here is just about over so I have pulled my pots in for the winter months just as well I didn’t get many this year.<br />It’s now the best time to sit in the boat with a rod in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other and hope some big snapper come swimming by.<br />Hope to chat to you guys soon.<br />See ya <br />needadrink

Re: The Fishermans Arm's

Glad to see ya check in,Needa <br />We have been lazy here, both at werk, and at the house.<br />We got done with the tile werk,and it looks great.<br />We haven't been fishing since March 28th.<br />Too hot, too lazy, and my nephew's stock car racing has me really preoccupied. He is really doing great, but the competition is cut throat. So we spend alotta time at the track and garage till Saturday night. He then races his guts out, and iether wins, or walls it.<br />But he amazes me. He can really drive that thing, and I think he found something he excells at.<br />The entire clan is VERY proud of him,(as you may have already guessed).<br />16 months, and I retire! I can't wait. My grandson (and his mom) moved a tad bit closer, so we are seeing him a bit more....But it's just too hot to fish.<br />Other than the above, 12Footer's place is about the same.

Re: The Fishermans Arm's

Hi 12<br />Wish I had time to be lazy you lucky old devil my wife keeps finding me moor and moor to do at home, the next thing she has planned for me is to lay a new floor through most of the house.<br />We have carpet throughout at present but it’s showing it’s age so I have to do something with it and a new timber floor would look so much better and be easier for her to keep clean.<br />As for retiring I still have at least 10 years to do before I can even think of giving up work unless I win the lotteries and I don’t hold out much hope of that. <br />Sounds like you and your nephew have quite a lot of fun with the stock cars. We have a speedway track close to were we live were they race cars and motor bikes, it also has a drag strip, but it’s not a sport I’ve been able to get into myself to noisy for me. I hope he dose well and who knows he may get a chance to come over and represent the U.S of A here in Perth as we often get your fellow country men over here racing.<br />At present we have 3 ships from the U.S navy here they are on their way home after a tour of duty in the Middle East.<br />The weather here is still quite good a bit of rain now and then but the temperature is still in the high 20’s and not to much wind just nice for boating.<br />Anyway better get to bed got a lot on in the morning will keep in touch.<br />needadrink <br />

Re: The Fishermans Arm's

needadrink,<br /><br />You need to clarify that you're talking Cel. Temp. when you mention 20's. 20's to us yanks means "real hard" water!

 

[needadrink]

Re: The Fishermans Arm's

Sorry djohns19 I forget you Yank’s still work in Fahrenheit instead of Centigrade.<br />Between 75° to 85° Fahrenheit is high 20’s Centigrade to us Aussie’s and today it’s a very nice 75°F clear skies and no wind.<br />Hope that helps clear up my little blooper.<br />All the best <br />needadrink

Re: The Fishermans Arm's

i tried to mentally do the calculations of the 9/5 or 5/9 but gave up. the 75F means it is perfect! catch a big fish!

Re: The Fishermans Arm's

needadrink,<br /><br />What do you mean us yanks "still" work in Fahrenheit? <br /><br />Don't you guys "still" drive on the wrong side of the road?
