bucks, CRACKIN YARN MATE!!! WELL DONE lol. good plugs too.

[Got Buckley's]

Yeah its a gooden and a good plug lol, the funny thing about it was how it came about.

Steve was at a pub and heard a bloke out the back sharing a bit of bush poetry, so steve sat back and took in a few of Bills yarns and when he was done Steve introduced himself and thanked him for sharing his work. Several days later steve was checking a few emails and out of the blue came across "Outlaw Ned and Old Man Murray", So you could imagine how suprised steve was.

I had forgotten about it untill I kicked the comp off and stevo joked " If its a yarn comp ,I could enter with the Outlaw Ned yarn". So i thought i would post it up and a few of you blokes might enjoy the read.


cheers

On a lovly saturday my dad took my brother and me fishing for the weekend. We camped at Kiffins in Mulwala. My brother was 11 and I was 10. My brother was surposed to play cricket lol.After setting up camp we put the boat in. It was going to be a good night with couple of hours of light so we went out to catch a BIG fish.

We got to this spot it had a few logs. I baited my hook with a shrimp and worm coctail. I casted between these two logs while my brother was flicking a lure around then waited. Ten minutes later I was on. i was just like this is a BIG ONE and my dads like hold on to it.

He quickly got on the other side of the boat and then he was holding on to me. Line peeled and I paniced. My dad was swearing and my bro was screaming.I took my time getting it in my dad was giving me a hand. After while i was still reeling it in i only had 50 pound braid it had alot of fight in it.

Another 10mins or so later I netted a 1mtr cod (with a little help from my dad). After taking a few pictures, my dad held my pants (so I wouldn't fall in) while I released the fish of my dreams.

I was like thanks dad for bring me fishing and im so pleased to that day i went fishing because my brother did the right thing by not playing cricket.So far nobody in my family has beaten me. I am the camp champ still. Now im 14 and remeber it to this day what a catch hoping for another.
cheers nathan

OK here we go
About 10-15 years ago myself and 3 mates headed to Eucumbene last weekend in May for the fish before the rivers closed. We were staying at Providence Portal from the Friday until sunday. We drove up thursday night ready to start fishing at daylight. Arrived about 3-00am and had a snooze for a couple of hours in the car and got up and put the boats in and went fishing. All good day 1 with a few fish on the troll and a nice day. Next morning leave cabin head to water. Fog, ice and bloody freezing cold, put our 10 ft tinny in water, and mate puts 4 mtr quinny in water. Mate and i sit on life jacket in 10 ft tinny because of ice. We take off into the fog following 4 mtr tinny and drive over wake and mate and i both slide to same side on life jackets, boat goes up on side and i am hanging on to one gunnel and feet are on the other gunnel and i am standing up stright, Yep we are going over. Mate done the dive into water hoping i could push it back level, but no over i went too. First words were S$#T its cold. Mate in other boat saw us go in and flew back and dragged us out of the water. We had tackle boxes bobbing in the water and slowly sinking, lost rods reels gear. We tied tinnie to back of boat and dragged it back to sure and rolled it overand left other 2 mates there too sort it out why we went to try and get warm. We got back to cabin and stripped off and tried to get into shower but the cold water was even burning, so we both stood in the middle of the lounge with heater, stove, oven on high trying to warm up enough to be able to get into the shower. Eventually both had showered and warmed up and went down to sort the boat out. Scavanged some gear off mated and went out again and landed some good fish, but this story still comes up today between us.
Rule 1: Dont sit on life jackets when icy in small tinny
Rule 2: Dont trust your mates driving

Your very lucky to be alive timbo.A couple of my mates did the same and were also very lucky.I wont go out in the lake during winter in anything that small.Ive seen 1m waves on the lake many times before.

Lucky our other mate saw us, because i had hold of the boat still with a death grip (no pun intended) and my mate was paddling a 15 meters from the boat. Man it is hard swimming with 10 layers of clothes on as well.
Lucky all turned out well at the end

[wharf]

Bloody lucky man,dont EVER wear waders in a boat either you are dead for sure if you end up in the drink.

[dave.c]

Sure were lucky timbo , Im one of the mates that wharf is talking about so I know exactly what you went through.I might do a write up myself later.
