  1. Don't throw those pike away, they are the best king and jew live bait you will get!!!! Send them back down with a hook it their backs and hang on!!!!!!!!! Howard.
  2. Ken, Sounds like your giving your new boat a good workout, and getting some good fishing trips! Howard.
  3. Pedro did this, Pedro did that, WHAT ABOUT JOE ? I know it was his boat, But? Cheers Guys!
  4. You need to learn to Duck sometimes when fly fishing! DON'T use your wrist, hold the rod as if you are giving the thumbs up, press down with your thumb and wrist so you can't use your wrist! use your forearm to cast! Otherwise you will loose strength and controle! Howard
  5. I have caught Hairtail at Flint and Steel during the day, close to the shore live baiting over the drop off.
  6. I love it down there , the scenery comes first, fish are a bonus! Howard.
  7. What a way to make us jealous Ken! Top stuff!!! Howard.
  8. The antenae is what I am trying to get away from with a hand held, can't have anything getting in the way of fishing
  9. Wow, what a learning process! Decidind on the boat, then the motor, sounder, gps, radio, so many options! BUT good fun! Do they make a hand held 27 meg? Thanks for your help guys. Howard.
  10. Just had a look at the Fishraider radio thread, 27 meg, not uhf ! What do the base stations / coastguard use?
  11. To start with probably only Fishraiders on the Hawksbury, or if I get a bit adventurous up north in the future. Not realy off shore at all!
  12. What to get? in an open tinny a hand held may be more convenient, no arial, but what about range. They are only 1 watt compared to 4 in the larger units? Howard.
  13. Have a 2.7 ltr 2 wd hilux towing around 1 ton. I do a lot of clutch slipping on steep slopes! 1 st gear is way too high for a work vehicle! no problem once your moving. Howard.
  14. Had a look at the site, they remind me of squirt worms, I wonder if they are the same? Could be ok? Howard.
  15. Have often seen small Hammerheads crusing that area, have caught a few too! About a meter long, quite capable of a bite like that! Howard.
  16. Hi TinnyFisher, Where did you see them, could be good if not too expensive! Howard.
  17. Well done! Mainbar/ Bonnie vale are on my to do list. they sound like a great place to fish and camp. SP fishing is so exciting, the anticipation is addictive! Howard.
  18. Exactly what I wanted, Thanks Ken! And Pedro! Howard.
  19. Hi all, Anyone know how to convert Knots, fathems, nautical miles to metric? Thanks Howard.
  20. Dont mind lures like that for Flathead! Any shops selling them? Howard.
  21. Thats a nice redfin! What a nice way to spend a few hours!
  22. Thanks Beefaman, The price difference is not a concern, how Quiet they are in comparison is the burning question, and is it worth 5 hp? The boat is rated 15 to 25.
  23. In the next few weeks i will be buying a 385 quintrex explorer. The BIG question is what to put on it? I need to be able to lift it on and off so have a 50 kg weight limit. The contenders are: 20 hp 4 stroke Honda or 25 hp 2 stroke Yamaha Both are around 50 kg How much quieter is the 4 stroke, is it worth dropping 5 hp for it? Thanks Howard!
  24. I think you need a Cheers Howard.
