ah thats the one you sent me earlier have you got her now you black pearl for sure is a good name like the pirate boat
ahhhhhh she a beauty me matey
make my little explorer look ordinary but i didi get a offer of a yellow poly craft with a 0 on the back for 10000 centre console though i would turn it in to a tiller steer i would have to put the 50 hp suzuki on it for sure and auto pilot leccy but i dont think i will be getting her for some strange reason
minster of finaces may not allow it yet if i can get it cheaper i would i might be alvle to get it for 9000 its a earler polly and my mate owns it
Yes I picked her up on Thursday and took her to the Bash, was a bit of an epic journey including blowing up the gearbox in my car halfway there, and a few other minor obstacles but nothing was going to stop me getting to the bash and getting that boat on the water!
Created a bit of excitement as the hire car I had to use to get it there was 2wd and was too light to get the boat up the ramp, although 4 Ausfishers in the tray of the ute and Daryl doing burnouts up the ramp solved that little dilemna Would have been interesting if I was at the ramp on my own though, there's a lot to be said for travelling as a pack!
Originally a 4.1 Poly was the plan but the best plans are flexible I find
The Polys are great Simon, if you get one I'm sure you won't be dissapointed. (although you might want a bigger outboard than a 0 on the back)
Black Pearl - that's another cracker name! Then I could be Captain Jack Sparrow
Ahhhh it's too hard, probably why I always talk about giving my boats names but rarely do
Although the little yellow plastic boat is called "Daisy" and has some great vinyl name stickers Scott (Finga) made, plus Daisy Ducks picture - cute as! I went with Daisy after I found that Finga called his Donald, seemed too easy a decision. My youngest deckie is out in the back yard as I type having an adventure in the "Daisy Boat" as he calls it
I have the perfect name Tony.......An AC/DC influence "Back in Black".........That is one sweet ride Mate...Luv it......Don't ask why I wasn't at the Bash, it's a long story...The Child Bride took ill......"In sickness and in health" well you know what Im saying.......Bring on the Muster and the trips in between will catch up on one of those occasion's.....As long as everyone had a good time, thats all that matters
Hey folks - Franko and I were there on Saturday. Left Bribie at gentlemen hours (Franko must like his sleep in now-a-days when he's not fishin offshore )and was on the water at Borumba by 6:45am. First time there and what a beautiful lake - I'm going back for sure.
Seen "Roydsy" on the water and met "TonyM" at the camp site - what a nice boat - i like that proposed boat name of Black Pearl. Hope all goes well for your new gearbox mate - funny about your 2wd hire ut not being able to pull that beast out of the water - lucky fellow fishers were there. SteveB - great to catch up and say hi mate - love your boat as usual too - next time ring me so you can camp over home next time mate. Robers (Shane) - good to finally meet you - we'll catch up oneday again for sure for a fish - maybe chase some jacks hey? And hi again to the other ausfishers - not much good with names but great to say hi.
Pulled up some great Toga's for the day as well (6 in total with photos)- no bass. First time hooked one of thsoe for me. Even my 11y/o boy got one so hats off and smiles all round. Franko must have lost 7 or more with not hooking up properly and then beside the boat - bang- off!
Anyway, great to say hi - hope everyone had a safe trip home, and until next time, happy fishing! Cheers, Darren
Hey Darren,
yeah it was great to catch up with you again....thanks for waking me up from my mid arvo nanna nap!!....anyone else other than you blokes and I wouldnt have got out of bed....thats how good a mates yous are!!....unless that damn 22ft goanna got into my tent like it wanted too....that was funny watching it scarp thru the main area.!!! good to catch up and I will take you up on that bream sess one day......I dont think I am allowed out after this weekend for some time.....Got home (no phone reception at the dam) to find out the kids had been spewwing and s%$tting all weekend.....All OK now thankfully.
Steve
SteveB Couldn't help yourself hey? had to get on.
Got home @ 6pm after the day on the water. I got back to camp @ 2pm dragged the swag out of the oven under a tree for a Nana nap. I packed up and was about to get in the truck when Borumba Bob spotted me. An hour later I drove off, I think he was still talking /stalking.
Tony very impressed with the "Black Pearl" although we caught nothing mind you in our defense we were getting buzzed by others who presumed we knew what we doing.
I am pleased to say I did catch bass today, Tony I think maybe we were just trying too hard.
As for the other issues the less said the better.
Most of my Money is spent on Booze and Fishin.The Rest is just Wasted!
To The Shed.............
I am pleased you all appreciated the closer look at the Goanna I new you would. The silly bastard was going the wrong way when I first saw him.

Hey guys, are you allowed to take pets to camp ground near dam??
We're looking at heading there in two weeks.
Cheers Dale
haha - Yeah I think you're right mate
Next time I'll chuck a few pillows in the boat, if we had a proper nap rather than just a sit down between casts we might have done better
So you're the bloody Goanna whisperer are you?
Thanks Steve, likewise - it's always great to catch up with all the crew!
I'm a bit like you, no reception and couldn't find the mobile when I stopped at Matilda so I just drove straight home - got there to find my wife in tears as she had just found her Dad had passed away only minutes before I got home. Original plan was to stay until Sunday arvo, although I felt I really needed to get home to Jen - thank god I listened to my gut for a change!
This naming thing is getting really hard as they all sound good to me - Black Betty, Schwartzkopf (with the Redhead match babe, although with Black hair) , Black Pearl, Knight Rider, Barralistic - Might have to pick one out of a hat
Maybe the Goanna was a boy and saw the "Gents" sign on your outhouse tent Steve?
Cheers
Tony
Yes no dogs at the dam wall camp but allowed at the deer park just down the road.
A good trip but saturday night well... oops we done it again???????
