Really? Scumbags!

Lubin and his guide head out searching the Ovens for cod. They have done it before, good footage, nice water and interesting to watch. But, this trip was nearly a no goer because some scumbag decided to steal their raft! Really. A fishing raft that a local owns and uses........... It's getting worse...

Oooopppps, nearly

Here is a good clip of some young fishos having a go after that elusive greenback. :thumbsup: I'm always aware of the old Joe Blake when on or near the water. I've had a few close calls over the many years I've been an active outdoors person. I carry a snake bite bandage and a lucky rabbits foot (na...

30 - 100

Ok, so we all fish for various reasons. Some for a feed. Some for the chase. Some for the time on the water. Those that post to Youtube usually want to share and get others involved in the sport.

Re: Motorized cart build

Now that is a ripper! Next step is to go wireless like the steering controls on an electric outboard? With all the work involved, locking it to a tree has me greatly concerned. There are lots of selfish people out there that would help themselves to lesser valuable items. Well done and thanks for sh...

Next Level Off Shore Drone Views

Well, Matty never lets us down with his footage, however the first 1:45 of this clip are 'Top Shelf". Good old @pelagicpursuit : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiHgoeljr7c It might be a bit of a sales pitch for his 4.5" 'Twitch It' plastics, but once again he just hits the mark. For you m...

Re: Cheaters Skiff

Wow. It's really white isn't it? :thumbsup: It should zing along nicely with a 15 up back. They are the same size and weight as the 9.9 but obviously have alot more grunt. I had one back when they newish (mid 70's), and the difference was notable when in a following sea. And on a light weight hull i...
