Thought it was about time for a fishing theme with my pallet work. Time for a new rod rack. Holds 15 rods. Not quite finished, but looking the goods.

I like what I see Bear - If my eyes dont deceive me, you have put a slice in the pool noodle and pushed the rod into it?

heres my new kayak landing net i made couple of weeks ago....last one had way too many holes in it from cutting out trebles so i decided to go the rubber net option - cost me under $20 in materials.

Looks great JB,

What net material did you use?

[jb2020]

its a chinese 'rubber replacement net', from popular auction site about $15 - struggled to find what i wanted locally. comes in varying diameters - mine was 104cm.

New addition to the fly tying table. Had some spare rollers and added a retractable table for materials etc.

Bewdiful Bear - when I see a thing of beauty like that I begin to question my own abilities as an Innovative Ideas man......but that never lasts for long



I was out in a 2.5 tonne rig with a displacement hull on Port Phillip bay the other day. The wind was variable and gusty and were were getting blown all over the place. With 6 lightly weighted silver whiting getting dragged over a 75m arc - there were a few tangles. We spent just as much time untangling as we did missing snapper runs

Thats when it hit me - this rig was in definite need of a bridle.....

I jumped on the net and sussed out how other people do it. But I had a choice of safety and spending $40 ....or spending no cash and having it ready for the next session

I think my work speaks for itself..... really helps pinpoint the boat on top of a trolley reef

we also had an issue with no stubbie holders.

I was riding to work and saw this on someones nature strip - My bike wheels werent the only things that were turning. My mind cogs clicked into over drive and I set about remedying the problem. Didnt take long to get the parts together

I made some white ones....

Then I thought they would look cooler if I spray painted them black

But as I looked at them from a distance they reminded me of another Aussie Legend who made some stuff from other stuff he had lying around the shed.

So I got to work.
