To me, it just seems like a rather boring thing to do. It's just never interested me at all. And you could be out there for hours and not catch a thing.

well... U have the wonders of great fishing at your doorstep... I went with a woman from there for about 3 years, she writes for the Mercury.. when she was at work I would fish to my hearts content... Normally I would go down the harbour with my gear and some pilchards for bait.. always on the north wall of the harbour, where the ships are and cast out on to the surfside of the wall and just hang on.... Mackeral, Trevally, emperor you name it.. I caught it there... A great place.. Some days i would jump in the car and go to shute and have a fish in that area.. BUT my all time fav area is Seaforth... I would love to retire there... quiet, easy access to the sea, nice backwater... plenty of sandflies and crocs tho... I think I might load the car up and head there right this minute LOL

What a great punting thread this has turned into.
Anyone got any ideas about Ballarat today?
My selections for races 5-6-7-8 are as follows.
Race 5. Lucky Diva-Codify-Cos Snip-Hi Sierra.
Race 6. Danalaga-Penworthan-Prince Eiram-Roberto Carlos.
Race 7. El Zahia-My Man friday-Set Apart-Triggered.
Race 8. Tempo-King Alfred-Hurricane Gust-Marmottan

didja get blown off that jetty... always blowing up there

Gday Imagele

the first doesn't go for an hour or so yet :) Gotta fill the time in somehow

Thats the beauty of it... it really doesnt matter if ya catch anything or not... U know how women talk about time for them.. they have like "me time".. fishing is like that for me.. time to think, reflect or just watch the world go by.. Broing it certainly isnt... it is what you make of it

:eek: O.M.G...... I must be dreaming........ (and I have been dreaming of this day for a long time...)..... but I think I just got........ wait for it ....... a NZ WINNER...... O.M.G.........

Gingersnap @ $16.90 and $4.70 ....... small Slab wager e/way ...... profit for today..... *pinch* I don't believe it ...... (and I was toying with the idea of a small tri - which I also would of got - $2127 - ah well)

Yes, Sportz - it was 100 rater..... that's it I'm taking my profits (about $3.50 NZ dollars :D )....... back to Oz punting for me.....

I tell ya fishing is harder than punting..... my STRIKE RATE is Abominable.... :D

back to racing

there are a stack of horses to consider today... I think therse are pretty fair place picks, and also chuck up a reasonable winner every now n then

Some races may not pay a 3rd dividend.... I haven't bothered to cull them because sometimes good overs can be found in those races
