WOW and wow Adrian. Very impressive on all levels. Very interesting to see the "learning curve" in the first few years, for both learning on the angling side and the learning about the rivers too. The Mersey is my favourite river, for an un-explainable reason but it does have a soft spot for me. Sad...

I have only had a smart phone for about 2 years now. So previously my photo's were taken on a mate's (Don) iphone and he emailed me the photos. Now I use my smart phone which is a Telstra branded basic phone. The photos aren't the greatest quality but my photo taking skills are about of the same cal...

I've always wondered if sea water would be salty enough to brine the olives. The idea of constantly having to prepare salted water and keep changing it seems very tedious and thus I default to bought olives. I have always wondered that too Gus. The brined water is boiled to kill off any "bacteria g...

Great time for announcements prior to a federal election strategic media release perhaps wonder how many residents of the marginal electorate of Corangamite are boaties.

Got them on Zman 3inch slim s...

Mmmmmm Prime Rib , , , , Rib Steak is my favourite vegetable :-D Rib Roast 1.PNG But it seems that Prime Rib has us Cavemen eyeing off just meat now. So to try and kick start this thread again , , , , Garfish I like gar the best, just headed, gutted, salted and floured then pan-fried. Served up with...

Mmmm, love this thread. Never thought of Kilpatrick Style , , , , definitely going to give those a go. Most important part with Pipis is to purge them in seawater for 24 hours. Some place them in a bag and submerge them in a bucket with "brought home" seawater. I find this method doesn't get all the...
