QUOTE He wants to also install a water tank out of aluminum for more weight. A tank with a few ribs welded in so the water won't slosh around. Now I think that this won't help at all. Water has no weight when on water right? Big-Banana -------------------- ![]() SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

Can anyone believe this from Sydney angler, Jumpy would last about 5 seconds. Makes me wonder who it is that decides NO effort has been made,, the mods must believe they are holyier then others. No more LOL's or ROFL's or any of that sort of nonsence,,,,, wonder if they allow the little cartoon blokes that make a post appear funny you know these blokes ![]() ![]() ![]() This is something I would expect from that other site, ( which I can't even remember the name of,, the one run by hubby and wife ) ( moreso the wife,, think she wears the pants in that lot ) but comes as a surprise from Sydney Angler.

Some people should not be allowed to play with tools.
QUOTE Re: Steering becam hard on 92 140 evinrude I ran into a little issue. I pulled the old omc steering cable out, but i also pulled out the tilt tube i did not know it holds the motor, at first the motor did not even move. I came back to check on the boat and found the motor touching the ground and i noticed the brackets in which tilt tube goes, shifted back, so motor was just held by hydraulic lift in center. With help i placed the motor back in place and put the tilt tube back. Did i damage anything? i check the lift, by pulling the motor up and down many times seems to work as before.

This is something that could easily happen.
I once had to remove the pinot tube to get the old morse cable out it had stuck that hard. Still have the remains down the back somewhere, had to buy a new pinot tube. This post has been edited by nimrod: Nov 3 2011, 02:33 PM -------------------- Frank

Can anyone believe this from Sydney angler, Jumpy would last about 5 seconds. Yeah, and they wonder why there is so little activity on the site. Actually, Fishraider seems to have the most, at present. SFF has died in the past few months. Lucky to get a post per week. Fang Aus - well, let's not go there. A post per month and if it wasn't for Frank it would be a post per 6 months. Polyboats, same three guys posting. FishnTreks, two or three guys post. Same here - only a few loyal members posting. What's the fishing world coming to ![]() ![]() |

What's the fishing world coming to ![]() ![]() When we first formed Fishnet 1995 ( then a different name ) we were the first to have a fishing forum in Australia, then came Ozfish and shortly after Sportsfish, basically we had the fishing sites of OZ pretty well wrapped up, and we had many many members and was growing at a pace we couldn't keep up. Then as more and more people started to devepop the skills to start their own forums, more and more sites were developed till lately every second net fisho has their own site with a few loyal members, there are literally hundreds of fishing sites going at the moment and many of them boast thousands of members, but there is only a hand full that has daily input with more than a couple of members. 95% of the sites are only forums, with the 5% left true web fishing sites with more to offer then just a forum. Stats show that since 2002 when Fishnet had a major meltdown and we all had to re join the average daily post count still stands at 58 posts per day and that's average for 9 years,, but repidly decling these days and would only be at about 100-150 posts per week, so the average would be dropping every week. I think you mean FANGNSW,, FANGOZ is still getting more then 1 post per day,,,,,Just This post has been edited by nimrod: Nov 3 2011, 04:09 PM -------------------- Frank

Re: The slow death of forums...
Nothing to do with the sites... social media, (which this is) has shifted in the last 4-5 years with Facebook and Twitter etc... There are some fishing pages on these sites as well... I dont frequent them though... I only post here and read over at SFF and read jumpy stirring up fishnet... ![]() Jumpy's ideas of streaming his fishing trips live was a great idea that has missed the boat (so to speak) ... ![]() Its a lot easier than getting home f*cked and typing out a report and down loaded pics etc.. You've heard it here first... It will only be us on here getting a few extra mates along the way to keep in touch and share a little info... The world has moved ahed to quickly to turn these sites into massive concerns.. BTW, i like it like this... -------------------- Don't hate me, cause you ain't me... :)

Shouldn't poke fun at people who ask questions but this is classic and he does make out he's a boat person.
QUOTE Playing with my boat whilst parked in the street recently (as you do) I noticed a significant difference between the bearing shown on my GPS and the compass. Could not work out what was causing the compass difference, turned offf all electrics, no difference, in any case the compass is mounted well away from any wiring so should not be a problem. Been thinking about this ever since and the only thing that I can think off is that the boat is parked under overhead power cables. (Normal street cabling and Foxtell etc). Has anyone else had a similar experience? Mystery! Cheers __________________ Haji I know another bloke who reckons the wind blows the GPS signals away because he was driving down the freeway on a windy day & his car GPS was showing his car was running parallel but off to the side of the road. -------------------- ![]() SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

I hear that titanium can screw up a compass bearing. Did you offer any suggestions as to the problem/fix?
Have you decided to get rid of all your fishing gear? |

So many people bag out Facebook, and I agree in some ways with some of the crap that goes on, but as a way of keeping in touch with friends and sharing media it is unreal! especially with friends wo dont live close. I keep in touch with mates all over australia and feel like i seen em yesterday... So Does anyone on here have a Facebook Account??? If so we should all link up... I already run a page on FB for a 4x4/Camping Group im involved in. Would be very easy to setup a page for FOS too.. It may steal activity from this site though which is not what we want. |

Is it going to be a meet for FOS members or Facebook members? I'm not on facebook and will not be. Procrastination. There will not be a get together this year, I predict.
