We've been fishing a wreck we found in the lake, catching some nice small snapper on it, with the odd monster Bream tossed in. My young bloke has caught two huge Flatties on it as well.

I see you went fishing & caught a HUGE fish.![]()
A JETSKI?? Mate I hate those bloody things. Let me re-phrase that I hate most of the clowns that drive them around the lake, they seem to be attracted to blokes fishing, spend their time zooming around your boat all day, I've been known to have the odd dissagreement with jetski drivers... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:The_Ben said:Over Christmas will be doing a few days. I'm buying a jetski soon, so I might end up thrashing bout in the water on it, instead of taking the boat out and fishing.
The_Ben said:Did he put his fishing rod up next to you and take a photo. I would have sent that into ET's fishing series labelled, "look what I caught on stocko beach!"
My opinion is first in first served. If you were there surfing first then the fisherman shouldn't have moved in. Likewise if he was there first.

Wen I was 17 I was surfing near the Signa wreck just north of Stocko.
After about an hour two fisho's came up to the sand bar we were surfing off, and decide to throw their lines in.
This really pissed me off, but I just let it go.
20 mins later, when duck diving a wave I feel a sharp pain in the crease of my elbow. When I surfaced I looked down to see fish hook stuck in my arm and the bastard on the beach trying to reel me in!!
Luckily he had a nice sinker for me to grab onto to stop him from pulling the fish hook deeper into my flesh. He finally realised after about a minute of shouting, that he's hooked an angry surfer fish, and stopped widing me in.
I paddled painfully back to shore and proceeded to verbally attack the Rex Hunt wannabe with much ferver. He clumsily apologised as he packed up his tackle box and bucket and scurried away, leaving me with a dirty big hook sticking out of my arm and a very painful, long walk back to my car, to get my pliers to pull the bugger out.
I also had to head to the hospital to get a tetanus injection.

Hey Tony, do you remember the ski jump that used to be permenantly anchored in the bay off Valentine??
Hmm... It was a long time ago, maybe 15 years?
I remember being out on the water with family and friends as a kiddy and seeing a big acco on it.
A skier misjudged his approach to the jump and ended up hitting the side and breaking both his legs :shock:
He was rescued by a couple of fisherman who were fishing off the side of the jump![]()
