Re: April fools day or Big Brother

Rumour is they’re building a social ranking system around this as well, skip out on a bill and watch your ranking drop, serious black mirror flashbacks

Re: Portarlington Newbie

I've got a van down at Portarlington so get out fairly regularly when work plays nice. If I'm after a feed of flatties - taildancers trolled pretty much anywhere along the 2-5mtr line will generally do the job.

Re: Fish Tanks

I've got a 3' setup at the moment that has a murray cod in it, he'll transfer over to a new 6' unit once we move house - only 8cm's at the moment but he's an aggressive bugger, good fun to watch.

Re: Too fat for a Yak

When i was diagnosed with a kidney disease a couple of years ago and on heavy doses of all sorts of joys and steroids my weight shot up to 115-120. On my kayak at the time it was not a pleasant experience, stability went out the window and remounting was a hell of a lot harder, to the point it was e...

Re: Tandem/double kayaks

I looked at an oasis for awhile, and there's plenty who do solo them, check out YouTube some great setups. In the end I didn't get it after trialling it I found the bow was up in the air a lot and caught the wind too much, not worth it for the amount of times I used it tandem. Gave me an excuse to b...

Huge congrats Daz, major push in education these days is around developing life long learning skills(jobs change so fast) and you've certainly shown you're happy to learn new knowledge over the years. Best of luck with it all.

Lake Wendouree Rowing Lanes

Just a heads up for anyone fishing the lake, they've got some new signage at a few points on the lake now, stopping or drifting in the rowing lanes is no longer allowed - haven't heard of anyone being booked for it but probably best not to be the first.
