Camping at Buckenderra on Lake Ecumbene.

I go for a trip into Jinabyne to buy some supplies, and on the way back it had snowed and covered the road sign for the turn off. Missed the turn off by that much. Sideways.

Make into camp without snow chains, the tent is a little way up the hill, so I give the car a little throttle to make it up the hill, and realise I don't have any brakes as the car slides into the tent, knocking it down.

I put my boat in once without the plugs in. Parked the car, came back and it was sinking. Got the car and po pulled the boat back out, drained put on plugs and back in. Very funny, I felt like an idiot until a guy said to me, "don't worry I was on my way out before I realised. I had to jump in the water to put them in". So nice of him to make me feel less stupid lol

We all have our fishing disasters - being chased up a tree by an angry bull was no fun! One night at our club I was doing a demonstration of how to tie up Mullet as swim baits for Marlin. The Mullet I was using was still half frozen. Somehow I managed to put a large bag needles through the Mullet and then through the palm of my hand and out the other side. It pumped blood very well when I pulled out the needle. Strange to say it did not hurt all that much at the time. I also have a nice scar on my hand from when i yanked out a hook - I was trying to untangle a mess that my useless (in terms of fishing) brother in law had caused when a Kingfish took off with a bait that was still in the water and pulled the hook I was holding straight in down to the bone - without thinking I just tore it out. Fishing is s very safe sport :super: :super:

I was at the servo at 4am one day during snapper season and a bit tired from the trip the night before
The fuel cap was on the gunnel which was black and so was the plastic flush mount rod holder so i proceded to put fuel into the rod holder instead of fuel hole but only a little bit LOL
