Dolphin killed at Mettams

For sure mate, people with a lifetime of stories have some great stories to tell of the way things once were & what they've seen along the way

Not really, the story sounds heaps better told from our elders...but I will pass them on, please feel free to do the same. If its BS, theres a good chance someone will call you out on it...personally I don't doubt what Peter told me after living up North & working South of King island on a scallop boat. You should never underestimate the ocean...

Yes, 200 of them @ 10-12 metres long

Yeah it was not that bad. To be honest I've had the place on good days and although it doesn't get that big it can have a good run down the line. That day you could take of and head left for a turn then change and finish running right until you run out of water It can get hard with crowds though but after living there for nearly 20 years i do okay. But i still cant get it wired but i know if you get it on the turn you can get 30 or so minutes of joy followed by absolutly nothing

Sounds like they'd be good for an indo run

^^That looks like a GBB bakesy...could be wrong though.

Sweet, sounds good to me .

The sound system seems ok too eh......da daa.....da daa....da dar.

Just read JBShacks comments re the fisheries vessels. What a full blown dickhead!! Talk about a halfwit with half the information. The RIBs he referred to don't belong to Fisheres. They are privately owned. The mother vessel is the North Islander - an ex Abrolhos Islands carrier boat and also not Fisheries. Yes the other vessel Hamelin is Fisheries. It was built by Western Boat Builders in 2001. There are no Fisheries RIBs in the pictures.

The seats in Fisheries boats are KAB524s. They do not cost anything like $15,000 but if you want to know then ring KAB. They are built for trucks and heavy machinery. They are not heated or cooled. They have suspension and so they should if your crew spend 30 years bouncing around on them in a high speed boat. They last the life of the boat which should be about 20 years. I don't think the Government would want numerous lawsuits from crippled employees.

The toilets were retrofitted in two boats to keep the construction price down. If they were put in before survey the requirements would have been much greater and more expensive. The toilets are portapotties - very cheap. I don't expect you to understand this as you are a bitter halfwit.

The three screens you are talking about are for the plotter GPS, sounder and internet, the last one so that licenses can be checked at sea so you dont have to employ another person back on land to look these things up - a very big saving if you think about it.

The satellite phones were put in two vessels (one in each) as these vessels operate in remote areas in the north of the state where Next G and VHF have no service. The only other option is HF and if you knew anything you would know this is less reliable than ever as almost no one uses it anymore. It had nothing to do with radiation you dickhead.

The boats do not have tinted windows as it is not permitted under survey.

The stereo has two stereo speakers and one sub - So What!!!

I bet the boat builder would be please to know one of his customers is being badmouthed by one of his employees. You must be one good mate to let that slip.

You are a classic case of it being far better to keep your mouth shut and have everyone think you're a dickhead than opening your mouth and proving it. I can't wait to read what you think you know about killing sharks. Why dont you and your mate climb back under your rock.

Went of the same tour in Albany. Our guide said the largest white ever found was something in the order of 7m. Would make sense as most of the really big ones these days are 5 or 6m.
Either way doesn't matter what size a 4m shark could eat you whole. What we need to do is protect these poor innocent creatures of which are clearly almost extinct, and rig up fisheries with bargain basement canoes coz it's clear from the logical arguments That they live in the lap of luxury

Someone had to say it eventually!

I actually got pulled over by the cop boat for skip ticket check what a beast of a boat. Had good convo with them and they indicated the niaid was about 250k. So yes thought jb was tripping again

Maybe suba could use the 600k ones to tag some big fish

Still reckon I'd like to go for an Indo trip in one
