Howdy

Post by re-tyred » Tue Dec 27, 2011 6:53 am

Just a bit of a dabbler as far as angling is concerned. Recently retired. I was a commercial trawl fisherman in the 70's and 80's , then took up marine electronics. Spent the rest of my working life as a technician on all sorts of vessels from tinnies up to coal ships. Mucked around in boats all my life, now have a bit more time for it. So getting a bit more serious in the angling side of things. I am an active member of Lakes Entrance Volunteer Coast Guard.
There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Were you working out of Lakes, when on the trawlers?
I worked on the Lady Jane, for the '95 scallop season, also worked on a couple of Port Albert boats around that time and earlier.

Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy it :-)
