Bugger! For a minute there, I thought I'd scored!

Our five senses are incomplete without the sixth, a sense of humor.

This did not happen to me; it happened to my Father, so I guess it's true. He was working on his own on the back deck of his old prawn trawler in Moreton Bay one day a few years ago. It was not a particularly good day for him, as he kept getting the nets snagged, the boards bogged, all the usual trials and tribulations that go along with that caper. Anyway, things took a turn for the worse when, every shot, he was catching things like old tyres, Stingrays, Happy Moments, all the good things. After yet another shot revealed the nets were full of tyres, he stood on the deck, raised his hands skywards, looked up and shouted to the Heavens in total frustration, "WHY ME?" It was at this point that an unseen bird flew over his boat and SHAT right on his glasses. I think he packed up his bongoes and went in after that.

Cheers,
NICK.

I wanted to fish by myself this one time and I went down to the rocks at tallebudgeera creek with my new fishing rod that my dad bought me. There were all these other very experienced fisherman there and I felt a little intimidated. ANyway, I went to throw my line in and lost my grip on the rod and the whole thing flew out of my hands and into the choppy sea below. They all stared at me, and so i picked up my bucket and ran home.

Attack Barra

This is more strange than funny.

Friend of mine & a mate were fishing Haughton River south of Townsville circa1995 – anchored with baits drifting down onto promising snag – after slow session they decide to call it quits & start hauling in when a medium size barra just leaps out of the water beside the boat and crashes head on into my friends nose then falls into the boat – it was a Haines 146C cuddy so it was a fair jump – he goes down like a poleaxed whatever with the “raw” fish thrashing around the back of the boat in a tangle of lines – after the commotion settles down, one of them notices a line hanging out of the fishes mouth & over the side into the water – they bring it in & back track it to one of the rods they had out

My friend was a bit of a known prankster but the bloke who was with him that day is straight up & after much investigation by all & sundry was accepted as fair dinkum

Hahaha. They must have thought I was mad, throwing a good rod away. No, not much anymore, as i dont have a rod...

God where do I start, I've done the man overboard thing too. Back in the dark ages when I was first allowed to take old mans boat out by myself, was coming back from early morning session down the pin. Coming up to cabbage tree boat ramp had little brother up the front ready to jump off so boat didnt hit bottom. Cold winter morning, chrystal clear water, I watched closely then gave the order to jump, which he dutifully did and disappeared into the depths.
Motoring into Mayo's boat ramp on the logan to pick up a mate dad expected mate standing on the concrete ramp to take the front of boat before we hit, he didnt, just stood there and watched us run aground. Same little brother as before was not ready and launched off his feet head first into the bucket of thawing prawns.
A couple opf years ago a mate asked if I thought I could find my way to check the pots as it was well after dark and no moon. I've said yep I can do this and took off into the night, only one light marker then sand banks and Melalueca sticks. Using the outline of islands against the night sky as a guide I managed to hit two sticks and have them scrape down the side of the boat, scared the hell out of both of us but of course I just said "told you I could find the marks". On the way back did fine, missed the stick and all the markers except for one. Mate was sitting in front facing back and looking at the stars and even naming a few, as we were nowhere near civilisation you can imagine the sky then wack, ran the V nosed punt dead centre into the second last marker of the channel, Mate lept off seat onto floor. Next trip up that way he took his boat.

A couple of months back I took a young mate down the Pin by boat. we found a patch of tailor on the chew, and as always happens, boats came from everywhere to muscle in on the action.

My young mate(not very experienced) cast out, took five winds and exclaimed "I'm on". At that very moment I was looking at a nearby boat, watching the kid on board hauling against his rod. Out of the corner of my eye I caught the sight of 2 slugs suspended slightly above the water.

When I finally stopped laughing and started breathing again, I gently let my mate know he'd hooked the others kids lure, and did't actually have the big 1. . Think I dented his ego, but not his desire to fish.

This one happened this Thursday on my recent trip to Noosa North Shore - see report just posted. I was helping a couple of old guys who were camped near me but were pretty inexperienced fishos. They tagged along when I went after some dart in the afternoon sessions and I pulled a few worms for them to help them get in touch with some fish. One of them was doing OK but the other wasn't able to cast far enough to get amongst the fish. Finally a decent dart grabbed his bait and he was into it. He then proceeded to get a bunch of grapes at the reel so that he couldn't wind the fish in. He did the only thing possible and ran backwards up the beach until the fish was flapping on the sand just above the wave line. But before he could get down to the fish a big white sea eagle swoops down and grabs the fish. Since he still had the tangle on the reel he couldn't even play the bird, so it ended up Eagle 1 - Neil 0.
