Boating and Fishing Codes

[Tezza@Tannum]

People who pull up beside you and deploy their anchor and chain by draging it over their aluminium boats then letting the chain rattle on it,s way to the bottom

[quote=Mtx;589781]When launching your boat at a ramp and night / early morning, Turn your bloody headlights off / down to parkers only so others can back down the ramp and actually still be able to see.[/quote
Thats one of my pet hates
Here is another one don't forget to tie you boat down proplery and safety chain is hook up to boat before leaving baot ramp also when launching the boat don't take off safety chain off the Boat or winch cable off be :cry: when falls on boat ramp or beach
When hooking up boat trailer make sure every thing is hook up like tralier light plug safety chains and tow hitch is clamp down on the tow ball of the vechile of tow or be another thing

When the deckie is pushing and shoving, panting and blowing, and the boat doesn't slide off the trailer as easily as usual, don't impatiently say to the deckie, "stop arseing around, I'll drive it off". And further to that, don't rev like buggery with engine on half tilt drenching everyone within 30 metres of you when it still won't come off Simply stop......................pause.................th ink.............take a deep breath............be humbled..............smile ....................and ask the deckie nicely if she'll pull you back out of the water so that you can undo the rear tie downs from the boat and trailer Then hide your red face from the onlookers

When the deckie keeps telling you that she thinks the boat is pulling anchor and she asks you what that d shackle is doing lying in the anchor well, put two and two together and pull in that rope with just a piece of chain on the end..........further to that...........carry a spare anchor

Hilarious Kingtin!!

Look at one of 1st codes - maybe someone was talking too much while preparing to launch.... But I am not going to suggest either you or the deckie, I am staying right out of that one!!!

I just thought of another..

• If you find a winch handle on the boat ramp, its likely to belong to someone who is out to sea, and dropped there by accident. If you place the handle to the side of the ramp, hopefully it will still be there when the owner returns and he won't find it near impossible to wind the boat on with his best pair of plyers.

Speaking of winch handles..............try explaining to the doc at the hospital as he puts 3 stitches over the deckie's eye, that there is no alternative in a boat as big as mine...........I have to drive it half on to the trailer so that she can winch it the remainder of the way............it's not my fault if she doesn't have the ratchet on

Caught my deckie doing the same two weeks ago, i hope she doesnt learn the hardway like yours did.

Do you find you get queer looks at the ramp when the bloke is driving the boat on and the woman winching?????

Kingtin I'm surpised your deckie still goes out with ya.

Mate, I get queer looks all the time. She does the towing, launching and trailering. I just stand around looking like I own the bloody place

Correction on the previous post......... my deckie informs me (with some indignation) that it wasn't her fault as she ensured that the ratchet was on. It was my fault as the handle flew off the pin due to me not welding it on as she had been nagging me to do for ages If that's the case, then it could be said that it was a self inflicted wound as the handle was still in her hand when the other end connected with her eye brow They put you away for self - harming don't they? I better start looking for another deckie

So am I mate. I've done my best to put her off but she still insists

I bet she owns the boat, but keeps you around because she needs someone to pilot it..... Sounds like a fair deal!

I assume that I pilot it.

Those beacons from Pin to broadwater are bloody mind boggling

If standing at the helm, with the wheel in hand, whilst the deckie reads the beacon to beacon and shouts instructions is "piloting", then yes,.......... I'm the pilot and it's a fair deal

Kev,

Even cruising around the "PIN" with your white shoes on If you run into a sandbank, don't blame the navigator ! You should know better !

The mention of "white shoes" should get a reply from the tinnie swamping "Pinhead"

Who teach's some of these idiots, spent a couple of minutes dancing with an dumb a** who wanted to pass me head on, on the stbd side. Can't the remember red to red go ahead, green to green should never be seen.

Nav lights? Passing? A rule to remember -

'Red and green right in front,

Full ahead and sink the ....'!
