KieranR 1,957 Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 My daughters bday today and wanted fresh fish, soma quick shore dive and we nailed a couple coral trout and a stonker blue bone, the two best eating fish in the ocean I reckon. And I kid you not, I swam out no more than 40m from the shore with my spear gun and got them. I live in the best place in Australia! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KieranR 1,957 Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Nice morning out diving today, just wanted the one decent fish, left a few other species to keep growing for another day, spotted this nice coral trout and nailed him, but as you can see the spear ripped out of the head and I had to grab him to my hands before the sharks beat me to him, I won the battle! That’s the next couple days dinner sorted. thisnos why I love spear fishing, I choose what I want and if there is a fish I see that’s not quite size or too big etc I just don’t point the gun at them, unlike rod fishing, every bite people try and hook the fish regardless of size, and a lot of the time they die etc, the way I fish is sustainable. Plus I don’t stink like bait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Take care dude Yeah it’s looking like we’re going to get belted, but it’s not here yet so I went diving again today, here’s my story. Well I have a story for you about today mate, it is the truth but Nicole doesn’t believe me, but believe me mate I’m not a fan of fishy tales. I went for a dive today, saw some big blue bone but they were being a bit sneaky in and out and flashing past me before I could line them up and put the straight hook through them, then I found this big mushroom bommie, I’ve dived it before but I goes right down to the ground with about 200mm of clearance to look under. Then I saw a bigger blue bone poke it’s big head out out me, it saw me but I reckon I saw it first, bang, shot the gun and it must have just missed by literally mm. Anyway I knew I wouldn’t see him again today because they give you one chance and one chance only, I estimate he would have quite easily pushed the scales to 10kg, this is no joke. I was a bit filthy for missing but hey that’s life, it was murky and dark but I had a go. Then I just floated around for about ten minutes in the ocean taking it all in and I had another dive on it as I knew there would be other fish under there but not being able to get a look in I just crushed around the edges looking for cracks and maybe a trout head poking out. Then it happened, I spotted a trout poking its head out, immediately I knew this was a horse of a fish, now I had less of a clear shot on this trout than I did on the bone, so I lined him up and put a shot straight through his jaw, great shot and it’s the only place I knew I could get the spear into as that all I could see, and he went ****ing ballistic under that bommie, I managed to get my hands on the end of the spear and wrestle him out, my eyes went like this 😳 when I saw him, he would have been 850-900 mm long easily. Then the drama started, while he was madly flipping out on the end of the spear and I was racing up to get a breath I saw the flipper was down and not out on the spear, shit I thought so I rammed the spear through more hoping he would slide down The spear towards me, he didn’t he slipped up the end and the spear pulled out! And I watched him swim back to his bommie with a bloody sore jaw! I’ll be back! For him and his mate blue bone! Great dive and awesome fun. Managed a smaller bone to bring home to the family which reminds me I better go fillet him now. Be good mate and stay safe. No word of lie that is exactly what unfolded today for me. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our little slice of paradise got badly beaten up by cyclone Damien. Our place is ok, just minor stuff, been busy helping others. Small towns rock, everyone is helping each other and small busineeses are out with cranes etc lifting trees, engineering companies are out and about with crews re welding people gates back on, cafes making free coffee for the vollies, it’s what makes our community so strong! I’m back at work today which is the last day of this rotation, our Train network held up ok, but of track damage, in our yard here we have a lot of damaged signals etc so our trains can’t move until they are fixed. Hopefully in 5 days when I get back all will be back to normal. we got good rain- our dam is back to being full after being at 16% our gorges and waterfalls are going to be amazing right now.

Ironnerd 886 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 @KieranR – as you and I work for the same company I think that we should do a job switch. Below I have listed the reasons why you should switch: · It is at least 50 degrees colder where I am so no chance of sun burn. · There is no ocean and the lakes and rivers are all frozen, so no need for expensive custom fishing rods. · There is no alcohol so no danger of failing the daily breatho they still make us do. · The food is much worse than Australian mine sites so you will lose weight. · There is no pool, so you won’t waste your time swimming. · There are no roads and the gym is shut so no having to spend hours sitting on a saddle. · You will be stuck on site for 50+ days, think of the money you will save. · No Christmas - no hassle of buying presents. · You have to wear a mask – so no need to shave as no one can see your face. When do you want to swap? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
