Blue Marlin

little hermy scuttling along in the shallows

wow great shots bikerian. a great find.. now that's something ya don't see everyday! I wonder if it's ever experienced racism from the white swan majority hehehe (edit: a joke btw, b4 I get jumped on) awwwe it's good to be different....

wohooooo!!!! holy cow now that's a fish!!! as we say in wales 'a bomper!' here's my piccy's for today sat under a tree sheltering from the sun. found this really secluded beach about 2 minutes drive from the gaff.. couldn't quite believe it.. absolutley deserted.. think it's gonna be my 'thinking spot' or 'happy place' (for those of you who've seen the movie 'happy gilmore' hehehe)

hehehehe u guys all work no play makes jack a wifeless boy.. maybe i should manouver into the slow lane for a while, give life a chance. sweet as candy or horrors from hell, your all so lucky to have children. tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock

awe kids are just so sweet.. Jan those pics are special and rabster that one of yours drinking from the beaker is amazing... just found out some close friends are having a baby and i'm just so happy for them, but at the same time wishing it was me oh well plenty of time i suppose (not) (sob sob) i'm so broody now and wish for a mrs right to come along so i too can have some little horrors of my own hehehe haven't got many pics of me but this one was taken recently.. i know it says 'no fish' but what the hell... here's me proud of catching at least something here when all i'm use to catching back home is carp

sad i know but n4lly that kinda sounds like a recurring dream heeheehee edit: apart from it being newt and the "Iron this -- then get me a beer." part hehehe

kool bobj i will make my way to Oz at some point.. my Ma's a kiwi and we're gonna do New Zealand & Oz in a grand tour maybe next year can't wait... especially for the fishing! here's my pic of the day: Marlin boat - Grand Baie - Mauritius

nice frog pic bobj, is it poisonous? just wondering seeingz Oz has the most poisonous creatures in the world hehehe got friends near margeret river been meaning to visit for ages but looks like i'm going it alone as everyone else is too scared of the poisonous creatures there hehehe.. severus - great pic. hey that sure looks like the wild west especially looking at those hills in the background. poledark - wkd duck pic m8! been sinking quite a few of these - the delicious beer of Mauritius 'phoenix'

sorry rabster, i've not the foggiest btw here's my POTD: a pinapple growing wild

hi tyurke, i'm wondering that too.. i been looking at the info about it on on stevesdigicams but can't decide wether to go for it or wait & splash out the extra cash for a Canon EOS 5D.. hmmmm anyone?

bikerian those swan pics are amazing!

i'd love to go bonkers on the waves in this boat.. the ferarri of speedboats hehe vroom vroom

hiya my POTD - 'a weird bug'.. strange how it turned out.. all i did here was crop and sharpen.. looks like a negative. must be the reflection off the glass.

shame indeed i haven't posted in the 'non-fishing chat' forum much but this really is my last ever post here. & no! no-matter what reply results from this msg it will NOT provoke me to counter reply, (not even someone's sad attempt to point out my typing errors lol).. i won't insult my own intelligence any longer. the uneducated narrow minded minority here ruin it for everyone else. you cannot argue with an idiot. i think i'll just stick to my passions 'fishing' and 'photography' where people are more open minded and friendly. fairwell & goodbye 'non-fishing chat' forum BM

paul that pic is awsome!!!.. what camera did u use to take that? i love it

hehe thanks finepix i thought it needed straightening but i couldn't be bothered. suppose i'm just lazy.. maybe i should make more effort, i like the pic after-all. broadening my photoshop skills to more than adding a bit of text, sharpening and auto levels is one thing but putting into practice is another hehe oh well there's always a next time

cheers rabster i took the pic at 2048 x 1536 & just cropped it.. only one shot... btw i like the pic u took of the vole u dont half get some 'hard to get' shots m8 oh a big welcome to Alnath from me too, lovin that lit match shot fella.. also MrWiggly - that Commando Memorial shot is great!!! bobj that cattleya "Slim Warner" ochid is just pure eye candy.. makes me wanna start growing em too.. kool hobby & steve both those lamb shots are great... poor thing, it looks lost.. too this earlier so here's my POTD : pereybere beach looking out at sea - Mauritius

wow how cool is that... might just give it a whirl i'd defo opt for the UHMW instead of the toilet roll tho hehehe

took this today.. fishermen bringing in the catch

£300!!!!..... what a con i buy domains from www.ukreg.com ... cheap as chips fishingthebroads is available.. .com = £8.89 & .co.uk = £2.95

yes rabbit, shocking stuff... i've read enough.. there's no point replying to single celled amoeba's. they don't have a hope in hell of understanding or seeing any sense. posting here is a waste.. i'm insulting my own intelligence by doing so.. traa ya'll.

hi newt - depends, visibility can change dramatically from day to day but on a really good day maybe 15 - 20 feet deep wow bob what an amazing photo! how cool would it be to have rainbow lorikeets in ya back yard..

yes true but believe it or not one day we will all be in satellite/computer controlled vehicles like auto taxi's travelling all in line independant of human control. we'll all look back scratching our heads saying "god alive! were we really that crazy putting the average human in charge of a potential killing machine that travels 70mph +??? no wonder all those people died on the roads"... it may be a long time from now but think about, if you look close enough you will see we're already moving closer and closer towards it... again cars will be used for sport only. we will all miss being able to drive but hey watch the number of road deaths fall. & as for peter's comments "Two such weird individuals who had deep psychological flaws caused Hungerford and Dumblane" i work in the mental health sector. 1 in 4 people develop a mental heath problem at some point in their lives. that's a lot of people who were once reasonable that become not so and would definatly not pass such tests... aweful i know but lets just hope if/when that happens to you or I, a gun is not within reach.

i agree yes sorry i maybe should have mentioned my cousin was shot and killed by an idiot with a gun.. sorry any mention of guns to me is like a red rag to a bull.. & pumphypete - all very well giving other examples of methods to kill but since when has pipe bomb or sticks and stones been as hip or gangster-cool as pulling out a handgun "popping a cap in someones ass!" ??? bottom line is they get in the wrong hands because idiots think it's cool.. better of without them.

lol! i suggest u get ya pick and shovel out then chesters and show those lowsey geoligists credited by national geographic what a true expert really is eh?.. u seem to be pretty sure fella & those words ARE darn convincing lol... you've sure convinced me u can come up with something more credible than a skull fragment or two
