The Priests
Submitted by Willy on Sun, 2012-12-23 19:42
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen
I haven't been able to do much fishing, but did manage a session out on the lathe today and made these five 'Priests'. For those who don't know, they are called Priests, as they are used to administer the last rites for fish, by hitting the fish on the melon.
I was going to get one laser engraved with the boat name of a mate, but as the bats look a little phallic, I thought the engraving of the boat name 'Deeper Still' may be too much for the moderators, Ha Ha.
Anyway, the bats are made from Blackbutt (pick of the bunch, heavy and solid), Jarrah and Sheoak (the large Sheoak bat is very solid).
Enjoy
Sincerely
Willy

Pantha,
these will take a beating, no problems. On another issue, my daughter wrote to the CO to try and get the angling times amended to no avail.
Ian,
I think it was Ian
Thanks for your comments, No worries, give me a call when it suits

I didn't know seals go out clubbing? I guess they use them as self defence then
