Drouin Tree Service · 25th November 2007, 06:27 PM

Caught a few snapper yesterday with the ground guys very good day on the water...average about 2.5kg 12 fish

Drouin Tree Service · 25th November 2007, 06:30 PM

I think the arborist report was right with this one!

Was a big tree...

Jeff Darby · 25th November 2007, 07:21 PM

Nice catch, A-lopa, makes it all worth while

It's coming to that time of the year for me aswell when we get down out of the trees and go fishin, mobile phone and pen n paper our mobile orifice..LOL.

Eric Frei · 25th November 2007, 07:25 PM

Nice snapper, great stuff.

I'd be baking one whole, stuffed ... beautiful.

Tree was a soft stump grind then, decayed trees are great to grind.

Drouin Tree Service · 25th November 2007, 07:31 PM

[insert Homer voice] Droooll.........

Dinner a alopa's place sounds good.

I'll bring the beer

Drouin Tree Service · 25th November 2007, 08:34 PM

Ekka can bring his keg!

Had quite a few to celebrate the catch last night,the fish got bigger with every can.

Steve Tipton · 25th November 2007, 09:14 PM

I hope I attached the photo properly, if not I'll have to wait for my daughter to return from Thailand to do it as I'm pretty useless with the 'puter.
If they come out, it is a 760mm sand flathead, 6lb or 2.7 kg.

Great snapper alopa, Westernport or Port Phillip?

Steve Tipton · 25th November 2007, 09:16 PM

Yay! I'm not just a dumb old timber cutter after all!
That's the grandson, 2y.o. Alex, trying to pick it up with tongs

Drouin Tree Service · 25th November 2007, 09:36 PM

Nice flatty there mate!very nice indeed..

Snapper form port phillip,going out chasing gummys and whiting next week in western port,nice fishing port phillip not much tide movement.Fishing western port you need a brick to hold the bottom!

Hows this snapper caught recently in port phillip..

Steve Tipton · 25th November 2007, 09:42 PM

Wow, what a top reddy!
I get the weekly newsletter email from Cranbourne Tackle. I can't believe the size and no. of snapper down there. I'll have to plan a trip and have a go. Decent snapper are rare here now. We get some down the coast, but all the best reefs are marine parks. Another favorite here are yellowtail kingfish, I think you get them around Melbourne?
Even the smaller ones give you a good run.

Good luck with the Gummies!

Drouin Tree Service · 25th November 2007, 09:46 PM

Im suprised just how well port phillip fishes now,thewy only feed dawn and dusk thou. 3am start

The reel deal!

Jeff Darby · 25th November 2007, 10:04 PM

The old Ganoderma... doing what it does best.
Nearly always see 2 or more of the fruiting bodies..sometimes metres apart.

Drouin Tree Service · 4th April 2008, 09:56 PM

A bit of gusty winds this week! Would blow a dog off his chain...

kimtree · 4th April 2008, 10:11 PM

Jee was that first one attached or just sitting there?

JohN Dee · 4th April 2008, 10:21 PM

Nice work Jason! That first one, how did trevor go about removing that head?

Hey did the customer want you to remove the uprooted root plate from the tree that blew over? I hate it when they ask that, but I just grind away at it and back fill the hole with it all

Eric Frei · 4th April 2008, 11:46 PM

Good pics, more please.

Man you guys are lucky, how I'd love for weather like that up here! We've had bugger all like that for years now.

Now guys, is this root failure or soil failure?

newguy18 · 5th April 2008, 04:44 AM

I would say soil failure probabley from constantly watering the grass and not giving it a chance to properly dry out,then strong winds blew it over.
