My fire extinguisher is 2 years now. I checked it and it’s still charged and good. How do I go and get it stamped or checked that it’s still ok? Don’t want to get into trouble with water police. Thanks. If it is charged and in good physical condition , then it is good in Vic on a recreational vesse...

Whiting in the area just southwest of Maggie's shoal, in Cleeland Bight (and big squid), and just off the weedline around reef island. You'll get flatties, leatherjacket, toads, maybe some Salmon pass through fishing anywhere within these locations if you berley up. Fish the drop offs between 3 and ...

Reef island and cleeland would be the 2 areas I’d work hard for winter whiting and big squid

Happens to me as soon as I turn around and grab something else, can't remember where I put the first thing I had.

Such unfortunate events.

I screwed my deck wash to the underside of the old seat that went across the back of my boat and draped a 19mm clear hose over the back of the boat and just used galvanised saddled on the plastic burley pot. It was rough and ready but it solved the problem. When i refit it I’ll probably do it with a...
