You need a harpoon not a fishing rod ! lol

This is my PB Golden Trevally. As you can see was a horrible rough and windy day :P Don't know how big this one was as I got a little bit excited and released it before measuring it. But im 5'9" so its gotta be around the meter mark. What was really funny is after rigging up the other people in...

Heres my PB Nanny or large mouth nannygai or saddeltail perch. Same fish so many names. Its 87cm and well over 10kg. Didn't have a weight scale only a measuring tape. Caught using a basic paternoster rig made from 80lb mono. Bait was plain old pilchard and squid. Rig was a cheapie Penn...

I swear by the 'Tough' line of cameras. Most of the major company's make a version. They are all water proof, drop/shock proof, dust proof, freeze proof. Amazing little inventions. Ive had four different ones over the last nine years. The only thing that kills them is taking them too deep when...

Thanks for that Shreeve that's was an awesome bit of motivational therapy.

That would be cool Dunny ! I'm over in West Oz visiting the olds for a while so ill get in contact with the exact specs when I get back to sunny Cairns. What sort of tools do you have that will make a nice 13 inch loop ? Im thinking steel so I can weld the rest of the bracket onto the loop.

Hi guys has anyone on here had a scratch around Lava Plains for sapphire ?

We could make a Queensland prospecting show called 'Banana Gold'

Is there someone I could buy a pre made sieve holder from ?

Yep ally would definatly be more easy to work with but I don't have the welding tools and rivets would probably get in the way.

Looks awesome cant wait to see hoe she goes. A wal style high banker is defiantly on the to be made list.

That's exactly the plans that I've copied Joe. Tricky bit now is how to get a perfect circle band that the sieves sit in. I was thinking about softening the metal by heating it up and letting it cool. Then roughly bring the ends together by hand welding it then forming it to a circle on an...

Cool pics Robert. I used to do a bit of U/W detecting with a minelab...1500 I think ? Jettys around Adelaide were a treasure trove. Lots a old n new coins and lead ! So much lead ! Which was ok cause I used to melt it down and make my own dive weights.

I use a Soultion X head torch from BCF. Was about $20 on special. Its orange and black. Pretty sure they still sell em. Cree LED so bright as hell. Bright enough to plink bunnys from 30m. Three brightness settings and one flash/strobe effect. For most camp work the lowest setting is still pretty...

Hi guys Im constructing a Willoughby (gravel washer) to head out and find a few sapphires. Im almost finished just got the sieve holder to make. The trickiest bit I reckon. Id love a few ideas and photos of what your ones look like. The trick is getting a circle the right diameter for the twin...
