Also heard of 100 squid in 3 days in about 10ft of water between Largs and Semaphore jetty.

One pic ( on his phone ) was of about 30 in under an hour. Blueys galore, squid everywhere, loads of gar ( but you can't get the bastards to bite ), no wonder the big Noah's are on the prowl in close! The snapper and salmon would be getting plenty to eat and growing bigger.

Bag limits??

Serious question as I don't know what they are but taking more than what you need for a couple of decent feeds feed is pushing it isn't it??
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Think 40 is the limit for Blueys .. My mate gives plenty to his family and friends, so no wastage, but yeah I think you make a fair point

20 per person. Max 60 per boat ( even if you have more than 3 people ).So my old man and I can take 40 out in the boat.

The commercial crabbers, I believe, can take 196 tonnes per year. Think about what one bluey weighs, think about how many in 196 tonnes.

Last time I went to Super A Mart, it was like the Viet Cong were stalking me.

The salespeople have very obvious boundaries if you watch them long enough. If you move from one aisle to the next, the first guy stops tailing you, and a new guy falls in behind.

I went there armed with a heap of cash, a truck and a catalogue, I was prepared to buy whatever they had as I only had the use of the truck for one day, I wanted a bedroom suite for myself, one each for my kids, lounge suite and a dining suite.
Whatever one I pointed out, there was some reason why they couldn't supply, I wasn't too fussed on what style in the end, I just wanted to deck my new house out that day.

After my final spit in there I went to haggleco and got everything I needed at a great price.

Did you haggle?

Me and my brother went to the one at Parafield a few years ago, and was told you couldn't haggle lower than a certain amount.

What they did, was price it higher than they wanted to sell it, then when you got to the price they actually want you to pay, they "give in" and you get a "bargain".

We caught them out at that because the TV ad had the low price and we tried to haggle.

I most certainly did, I saved around $800 all up, I told them how much money I had and what I wanted, they were pretty good after playing a bit of hard ball.

I Haggled for Mrs Boons Xmas presents.

One of those hanging egg chair things and an "occasional chair" ( not sure what the occasion is ) she wanted for the bedroom.

It was $600 total, I took out $540 cash, "That's all I've got" and did we Haggle, well, I didn't, I just kept pushing $540 across the counter until he took it.

Which, he did.

That's the trick, just present what you want to spend but be realistic about how much you want off compared to how much you are buying. 10% for what you bought seems fair enough.
I'm an impulsive buyer so I can look them in the eye and say "this is all I have, I'm not fussed if I can't have it".

asking what your best price is, and then taking that to a competitor to beat seems to work too. maybe more for appliances where you can directly compare things though
