Woodsy1, If you are heading out to the northern end of Morton, why not drive up to Bribie Island and put in at the ramp opposite the Air Sea Rescue there, it's multi lanes and has a pontoon to tie up to in between them, it can take large boats without drama. There are also a few other ramps in the area depending on size of your boat which are also suitable. If the wind is too strong outside then you could also fish the passage. I used to use the Spinniker Marina ramp but over the last couple of years  I now just use the first one I mentioned.

So.. you can still type with 2 broken arms?

For sale, mainly for the flowers but also some plants, also grew bamboo and bromeliads. The drought stopped people buying plants and then I had medical issues for quite a few years so it got very neglected. As we intend to sell the house there is a lot of work that needs to be done before we can put it up for sale and not that much time to do it in. So fishing at the moment is being put on hold for a long while.
Anyway I do not want to hijack this thread more than I already have so will finish off.
Cheers

Yep, it's 8000 square meters (2 acres), I had an old 500sq.meter shade house where I grew orchids in it that I finally sold off and pulled apart, so now have to clean up the site, pulled out the concrete stumps and now have pick up all the pots, plastic sheets and rubbish then dump them at the tip, on the 25th I have approx. 50 cubic meters of soil coming , may need more than than that to cover the area, then spread it out and replant it with grass. So have my work cut out for a while, also caught a bug so that may slow me down a bit, this heat is not helping, will get there in the end but at the moment too busy to even go fishing.

So Greg, did you catch anything today?

Now I don’t know about you guys (and gals) but I found this one funny.
 

I went out to check the letter box this afternoon and heard an odd bird squawk, so look around and there was this young Major Mitchell parrot looking down at me from one of my bamboo clumps about 3m up,  so went closer to get a better look. It started to climb down a branch trying to get down to me so I thought that was a bit odd, normally they fly away when you get too close to them. Anyway it continued climbing down all the way down to the ground branch by branch, then after a bit of coaxing it came up to me and started to nibble on my feet and toes ( brave bird!). Even allowed me to pat it. My wife keeps telling me I need to make new friends, she doesn't like my other ones, the long slithery ones that slide along the ground, It was visibly quite hungry and trying to find something to eat on the ground with out much success, obviously it was someones pet that had somehow got loose.
Got some bread and a pear from the house as they were the only things that I thought that it might eat as I didn't have any nuts.  It didn't like those, so got my wife out there as well to keep it company whilst I scrounged around inside trying to find something else to give it. Found some Muesli clusters in the cupboard and got a small container of water for it. That was a bit more appetizing for it, then I remembered my neighbour keeps some parrots so rang them in case it was one of theirs that had got loose. Although it wasn't theirs but they did have a spare cage and their daughters other half works as a vet assist, so they came over and collected it, they will put it up on their facebook page so hopefully it will be reunited with its owner.
So that's my good deed done for the day.😇

So we expect fish pics from you tomorrow, yes? now that you should be able to find them! 🤣

And it will be a nice day out there so enjoy the ambiance! I have about 10 days left of cleaning up a section of my backyard in the heat and humidity so being out there on a boat has got to be better than that even if you don't snag one.

Come on where is the positive attitude? We have great faith in you!  Wait.... I may have had a bit too much wine! 🤣 No seriously though, the wind and sea shouldn't be too bad and just after lunch time  should be the best time to catch a fish, go for it.

So Greg, you seem to have the same issue that Ryannnnnnn had with his, does not speak well for Lowrance gear! There is another thing you might want to try but it's a longshot, go out to the boat when it's dark and see if it is a brightness setting, if it is you might be able to see the screen menus at night and change it back,   personally I don't like your chances but it is worth a go.

And by the way, if anyone deliberately buys a Lowrance after using a Garmin, I have a good psychiatrist I can recommend.

Yep, I think that anyone who has used an overhead real would be thinking the same thing as well, I know I also did when I first saw it. Someone slipped up in the marketing department!
