thanks shorey for the expert advice, but which bait fish is best to hook one of these beasts ? in the same way you catch a baboon with an orange in a pot, maybe you could use a tuna sandwich in a plastic bag. an before all the touchie feelie namby pambies get up in arms, im talking a dolphin friendly tuna sandwich.
dolphins are awesome, just like rainbows and unicorns and ponies. I HATE DOLPHINS, I'M GOING TO ROPE ONE AND HAVE IT TOW ME INTO 6 FOOT WAVES IF IT LIKES IT OR NOT!!!!
Hey berko.. do you mean 6ft as in head high, or 6 hawaiian foot? Cos 6ft in Hawaii apparently means a 30ft face. Would a dolphin be able to tow that fast? Who knows...
Hey Muenchklerr...Being buggered by a dolphin is not real high on my 'wants and wishes' list. But that's just me. It is a great news article though. Thanks for the reference. Wonder what their community service (sentence) duties were?
Yeah it doesnt really bear thinking about does it? especially when some ususpecting young pups heads out on his new NSP and gets humped to death and back bby Dave the randy dolphin. I actually have a cut out fot he article on my office wall, the chaps involved look like a right pair of muenchklerrs! Classic though in my opinion.
eeeeeeee.....eeeeeee.......eeeeeeee!!! what flipper?......Surfers AND spongers suck.......and neither of them can ride a wave properly........you dick!
Top 3 things most likely to happen in Byron ... Stuck in traffic , dropped in on by local , chased in by sharks. Terrible place really. I've heard the Gold Coast rocks !

Dolphins often hunt for the same food as sharks, and the surfers' tale of dolphins and sharks not mixing was a myth. Both dolphins and sharks hunt for baitfish. If you see a pod of dolphins offshore then there's a good chance the same thing that's attracted them there has also got sharks there as well.
Slight correction matey, sharks hunt for game fish mostly and yes dolphins for bait fish. There are many documented tales of dolphins "protecting" humans from lurking sharks but ramming them.
Well said Mel. In episode 21 “a dolphin in time” in the 3rd season of Flipper. Our trusty hero Flipper attacks a shark that is getting too close to one of his human friends. Good old Flipper, he was like Lassie but with fins (crap theme tune though). I used to watch this show as a nipper and I generally believe everything I see on kids TV, so Mel has to be right or my whole belief system will be called into question. If I am wrong about this does this mean The Flumps weren’t real either??? THE FLUMPS ….Now that was a kids show with an insanely good theme tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1mMQtk3IUE
Sorry if you can’t get you-tube, you are missing out on some serious gold, someone please make a profile pic with The Flumps characters, you will get my unending respect (Kilgore/ Multiple Profile Disorder …here is your next alter ego and your chance for reintroduction back into society)
I watched every episode of "Flipper", too! And know what you mean about believing it. I had a rude awakening last October though, when I was attacked by a shark (for real). Where was Flipper when I needed him? Your having watched the Frumps as a nipper (and liking the theme song) answers so many questions I've had about you. If you could find old episodes(on YouTube)of "Lincoln Bale(or Vale) Of The Everglades", which was on during the same years as "Flipper", I'd be forever grateful. Now there was a theme song!!! I'll even provide you with all the words (from memory!!!) to Johnny Horton's "Battle Of New Orleans" song, which was very popular here in that time frame. Sqirl would love it!! Enough time has passed that we can put that old "Battle of 1812" behind us.
Hey VP... My misspelling of the Flumps (not Frumps!) wasn't intentional and I hope it didn't cause you any emotional pain...attached as you were to those childhood memories. I'm blaming it on recent correspondence with my new hero Muenchklerr, who I now intend to emulate. By letting my spelling go to hell!!
Are goatboats those vessels associated with 'Surf Resorts' that deliver hoards of aging/old surfers (ie: goats)with money to remote, pristine, previously uncrowded breaks all over the world? If so, then I'm for it. I'm old, but I don't travel
Wait a minute...Doesn't Sqirl have to use a boat to get to his home break? There could be a terrible mistake...or even a MSW conspiracy... and we might lose him. Now I'm against it.
That is a radical looking board design. ‘Fish’ tail, Twin-fin up front and an extra fin on top for advanced manoeuvres. Serious thickness for those smaller days but aggressive angles for some nice sharp turns. Controversially they have added an inverted rocker at the rear and bottle-nose up front. Those Ozzy shapers are way ahead of the pack (or Pod). Wax looks a bit old and grubby though.
