Posted by: hustler57 Apr 25 2007, 08:08 PM

Hey fellow fishos,

as im reading all the threads im getting the feeling that im the youngest one here , so i thought lets start a thread introducing ourselves more, i guesss il start,

Im benny , im a 27yr old from roselands in south west sydney, married with no children , working as a dog handler / trainer. love fishing but dont get out any where near as much as i would like to, currently the wife is away for 10 weeks teaching aboriginal children english and health in central Australia, ive got 2 boats 1 is a cruise craft hustler 570 and the other is a 14 foot sailing cat.

I'm Majed, 41 year young (not old) from Villawood in south west Sydney. Married with 4 children, girls 19 & 13, boys 16 & 8. I work in the IT industry as a computer operator. I enjoy fishing also but due to work commitments don't get the chance to go much. I also coached junior rugby league in the local competition upto last year. Having a year off now.

Names Allan, I'm 19 and I am a Steel Detailer/Draftsman. Basically what I do is take Engineers structural drawings, take the information on them and make new drawings on AutoCad so the structural steel can be fabricated in the workshop out back. I have too many toys to mention including 1 boat, My Patrol ute, My race bike (Husky TE450) and my bash bike, an RC 4wd buggy, I'm also right into watersports, just bought my second wakeboard actually.

Now I get the feeling I'm the youngest lol.

Buggered if I know what I do these days, guess anything I want done just about everything I ever wanted to do travelled, fished womanised tongue.gif

Doing a bit of work now but after it's done it'll be back to a bit of fishing & when this bloody drought breaks looking forward to taking my mutts out bush a little more than I have been going.

In other words I enjoy the out doors

Jumpus, Cheers for that password, I tried sending you a PM back but I got an error message once again.

well i am nearly an old fart to old to remember how old i am, love fishing boating and the family 2 adult kids both doing well thank god.
as for work there is to much of that and not enough fishing time.

Posted by: SUMOFISHIN Apr 26 2007, 10:26 PM

Well, I think I am the OLD man of the forum, I am a retired Auto Electrician who has been selling fishing tackle for 15 years, I have 4 kids from 37 to 17 and 7 grandkids from 19 to 5 and no doubt more to come, I have too many motor vehicles but only 3 boats, just manage to keep them registered, I moved to Manilla from Sanctuary Point in 1984, and now spend most of my time travelling and fishing, or on the net making arrangements to do the above.

I'm Eddie (Fast Eddie), a 56 year old electrician living in sunny Chipping Norton.
After 40 years of non stop work I've decided to pull the pin and go fishing, I'll be targeting Botany Bay and slipping outside on good days for a real fish.
Although I've driven through the bay many 100s of times I've never really fished it so I'm looking forward to a more relaxed style of fishing after the rough & tumble of offshore.
Also looking forward to catching up with Jumpy after about 20 years it will be good to see you again mate. smile.gif
(2 boys 17 & 21 and on my second wife)

B) rolleyes.gif Hi guys I'm Bobby, married to the best wife in the world ask Steve or Jumpy and am 56 years young,boy that sounds good. I worked on forklifts all my life until I got hurt back in 93 and have had 16 ops on my knees including two replacements. I fished the rocks all my life and met Jumpy many moons ago at Bondi Murk. He was the one who first took me to Jervis Bay and then I never left the place. One might say i thought I owned the platforms down there for many years. I spent that much time on them I guess I might as well have owned them. I have been blessed with many good captures down here and witnessed things that people might only dream about these days.Now I just fish for niggers off the rocks and fish the river for jew , flatties and the like. I own a few dagger kayaks(3)and a 4.35 Stessco with 40hp Tohatsu tiller steer, no frills model and it has never missed a beat. I occassionally write with Fishing World and Fishing monthly mostly product testing and love to help young guys to keep out of trouble after having a pretty chequred life my self. Played with Balmain and Souths many many moons ago. I love this site and I have to learn to move around it alot better and to use technology and don't get intimidated by it.

B) rolleyes.gif I forgot to mention at 56 and so many ops behind me no one wants to give a bloke ago as far as work goes. To pass the time, I help alot of people who are doing it tough. My wife and I are blessed to live down here (Greenwell Point) that makes up for heaps we reckon.

B) rolleyes.gif Thanks Pol, but my sanity comes from living down here. I still need to get a hip replacement as well as my other knee. not goood prospects but we soldier on. It gets a bit tough but you have to learn to live with what you've got. Thats one reason why I spend so much time in my kayak, no fuel cost, But I do love that sort of fishing. My wife and I have always got a spare room for a lost fisho. Believe me in my time i have met a lot of lost fishos but we are only a call away, just ask Steve.P or Jumpy. I tired shrinking saome pics to put in but it said they were too big (2MB) would only let me fit samller ones in. I gotta get some luck some day

Posted by: Fed May 27 2007, 12:16 PM

2MBs is a huge picture Arnie, you need to set your scanner or camera to a lower resolution whichever is the case.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus May 27 2007, 01:39 PM

Na 2 MB sounds about right you have to remember he's using a 10 Megapoodle camera
