Thanks Chuck, will look them up. Jack, These are just my thoughts as they apply to me and my needs only. The problem with boots is that they are heavier, more cumbersome and in a warm climate, they can get hot and uncomfortable. Even these new light weight, synthetic upper, so called hiking...

Chuck, could you post a link to those off road ones of yours. They look even more robust than my Shimanos. Re the thorns, Yes, I have had them too, and screws and nails and even the dorsal spine off a catfish threw the soles of my crocks. I had to cut the spine off the fish with side cutters...

Oh God !!! now, I'm scarred for life. :shock: Crocks and white socks. eeeewwwwww. A problem I found with the crocks (and their imitators) is the thinness of the sole. In a previous post, I mentioned that I wore them everywhere, and I did but I have found that waling round in the bush in them...

Mates, I take the liberty of copying and pasting an article I just found. I will post the link to the website at the bottom Martial Law? Obama Confiscates National Guard Helicopters From All 50 States! As if the Obama administration’s purchase of more than 2 billion rounds of ammunition, and...

G'day Gatorgrizz and welcome to the forum. Re posting piccies, I use photbucket to uploade my images and then post a direct link to that image on here. Your outrigger idea sounds like a good one to me and about the height of same, I have no experience of it but would think that the bottom of...

G'day guys, I respect your views on this and you are a lot closer to the action than I am. I am reading reports of UN armoured Humvees and other vehicles with UN markings moving round the US and it seems to me that there are a LOT of very worried people over there. Texas Rangers included. I have...

Hi Ron, A link you might like to read http://conservativetribune.com/congress ... s-hostile/ here is just the start of the article As worry begins to mount over President Barack Obama’s Jade Helm 15 exercises, Congress is beginning to take action on the controversial operation that many...

Thanks Chuck, we call that one a Black Jew. Not sure why but there you have it. It was 40 odd pounds and a lot of fun to catch. OK as a table fish but not really to our liking. There were a lot of them caught but we only wanted one. Ron, Your points are well made and make perfect sense to me...

Thanks for your insights Jack. Like you, I trust your government, and mine about as far as I could throw them and our respective media networks even less. There seems to be a lot of smoke and mirror stuff going on at the moment and I could be getting paranoid but I don't really think so. Your...

Thanks for replying mate. Here is a link some might find interesting. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/chec ... e-helm-15/

Been hearing a few rumours over here about this and quite frankly, what I have been hearing worries me. I was just wondering what the geezers here might be prepared to share on a public forum about it.

Why thank you Sir. :D :D Doing it tough in Stanage

Thanks Jack. I'll take that as a compliment. The put in. The thang actually works :D Heading off up Thirsty Sound. Lt. James Cook landed here in 1770 and so named the place because he was unable to find fresh water. Twasn't long before I returned with a feed of these :- Queensland...

Thanks Jack but I just can't see it happening this year. Finally got Evie's piccies sorted and uploaded and will just post them with a bit of a story to each. A biy rusty at this so here goes. I busted my whiz bang, expensive skiff trolley on the first day I used it so I had to improvise with...

Sorry guys, Life got in the way a bit these last few months. We are home again and I have started uploading some piccies and will try to finish this report in the next few days. Dave, Evie's pain is worse and my freaking heart has been a SOB a bit lately but thankfully, when one of us is down...

Roast Lamb, pork sausage wrapped in bacon and roast vegies here guys. Happy New year.

Thanks for the replies Jack and Bob. Bob will take a piccie of he next one I get. They are bigger here than anywhere else I have caught them. a Body about the size of a serving platter with good claws too. They are sensational to eat and I m gonna go and set my traps again this evening. BTW, I...

Thanks Jack! We have been at Stanage for a little over a week now. The only place I can get internet service is at the bar here - bugger. :mrgreen: I'm sitting on the front deck looking through palm trees at the Coral Sea on a magnificent South Pacific winters day. Its the middle of winter...

G'day guys, Evie and I are just about to head up north to Stanage Bay, hopefully for a couple of months or so. The area is adjacent to out Shoalwater Bay Military Training ground so internet reception should be OK. If so, I will post some piccies and a trip report as we go, and hopefully will...

G'day Ron, Sounds good tome mate. I was wondering what a KOA was till I looked it up. We would call it a caravan park franchise. We have similar set ups here too. Have a good trip and travel safe mate. Evie and I are loading up again. Heading bush for a couple of weeks. :D
