Yeah you're right Doggie, stickers aren't bad. I've got a confession to make - I got really drunk last night on free wine - the sticker just reminded me of that dreadful Ifish tv show.


Keep up the drunken rants Adolf.....Always a good read...! As for "Sticker Boat" blokes, ....Most of them are wanna be fishin' show hosts. They **** me to tears..

I am with Adolph I think especially about the Ra Ra fisho showboat wannabes
I am a little concerned about those baby snapper though
Here in NZ 27 cm from tail notch to nose is the minimum for snapper and you better have a good ruler because you can really cop it from Maffish if you dont release everything under Keeping the undersize rule ensures all fish have at least one chance to breed in their lives and it seems to be paying off because after years of decline
the snapper stocks are growing and looking healthy again in spite of increased
catches

Lol, mad drunken posting

The Malcom Douglas shows were awesome. He was a great bushman and some of the places he went fishing were awesome as well, and did most of the stuff himself.
Not like these cashed up d!ckheads who are just showponys




I worked with 2 of Rex cHunt's offsiders on a trip filming 2 weeks for a fishing show years ago. All around Dirk hartog, Shark Bay, Ezmouth etc.

One of them (Steve Starling) was an uber knob. Both guys were fully decked out an sponsored in every way imaginable (including a top of the wazza new deluxe leather seats Mitsibishi 4wd they deliberatly got in and out of with fish guts everywhere).

Everey where we went we were hooked up with locals experts only too keen to take us to the very best proven spots marked with GPS where the best fish virtually jump in the boat. Too kn easy.

Also travelling with us for the 2 weeks were a producer and hangers on including a burly copper who had cheapo recreational Jarvis Walker gear.

Starling and co. were laughing behind the coppers back about his gear at every oportunity.

Anyway up at Ningaloo (from memory) we set out day after day to get a Spanish Mack (nice and pretty for the cameras). Plenty of Shark Macks jumping in thee boat (and a massive whale surfacing 50m right in front of us!) but no speccy Spanish to show off for the cameras.

Starling talked the talk on how trawling etc etc was going to yield us the mighty Mack..

So anyway one day copper came out - on a boat alongside us. After about an hour mucking about with his Kmart rig and frozen bait he hauled in a massive Spanish Mack (uber knob refused to let the camera man film it) and - with no gaff on board - in full view of us burly copper leaned over the side of his boat grabbing the Spanish in bare hands and pretty much said "You're coming with me sunshine!".

Look on the 2 show pony TV 'star' faces were priceless. They never did get a Spanish. Steve Starling sulked and barely spoke to anyone that night at camp.

Ha ha ha.. kn idiots.
