just past the narrows mate, drifting along and casting into the banks

nice assortment!

I took my tinny out to the nepean this afternoon in the rain for my first fish of the year. Not a bad start either, about 20 bass ranging from very small to about 30cm. I was using trusty old black cicada's around the edges as usual and they were hitting them consistantly, I had around 10 get offs aswell. My good arvo turned shite real quick on the way home when a flat tyre on the trailer had me putting boat and trailer (12ft boat+trailer on 8ft tray) on the back of my ute on the M4. Must have looked funny to other drivers but i got it on, Maybe i will stop being such a tight arse and invest in a spare. Only one photo on the camera phone sorry. Anyway happy new year everyone..

It came out of about 10m of water, It didn't seem to have any trouble swimming off, not knowing what it was i didn't pop it, come to think of it i have seen a similar thing come out of the side of a leatherjacket about a year ago in pittwater, he didn't make the swim home though

I caught this little snapper today in middle harbour and its mouth was full. It looked like a swollen tongue or an egg in its mouth, it was soft to touch, Can anyone tell me what it is?

Thanks heaps mate

they are sea worms, i will be using them around the harbour chasing whiting

I am trying worms tommorrow for the first time, can someone please tell me the best way to put them on the hook?

I will be heading out but not too sure exatly where,I am going out on sunday to suss out a few spots

that should be fine, I have 4lb mono line and 8lb leader, the light line will help you cast the light lures good distance

I get a similar sound on my 70hp Evinrude, I think it is due to the lack of a clutch, There is nothing to help mesh the spinning gears so they clunk, (try putting your car in gear with no clutch). Mick

Hey Blayne The gorge is just past the narrows, about a k upstream from the ramp, i've been up there a fair bit this year and caught planty of small/medium sized bass on river2sea black cicada lures. Can any raiders suggest some sp/jig head combinations i could try?

More Problems!!! I rewired the bilge today (with inline fuse and strainer) and found that the top of the battery has sustained some damage, there is a hole through to one of the cells, will this affect my battery?

and also, would installing an inline fuse stop such a meltdown again?

I have not long ago purchased a second hand boat and today the wiring melted due to a short in the bilge pump. It was wrapped in a stocking and it got caught up inside. I am going to have to rewire and replace the bilge pump. So it goes but my question is.. Should the pump be wrapped in a stocking or is this a malpractice that nearly caused my boat to burn to the ground?

thanks for that ross, that is very helpful mick

I just brought a half cab fiberglass boat and it is great... execpt for the yellow/mustard/white coulour scheme. Does anyone know the best way to paint these boats. do they need to be rubbed back and primed ect. Also what is the best product to patch a hole if i ever get one? Cheers Mick

whenever i can get out there i find early mornings good

thanks stewy, what is the ideal barometer range for bass?

Can anyone tell me if its worth having a crack at some bass on the nepean in this weather or am i wasting my time?

my mate sold a 2004 sante fe not long ago, he is overseas but is back on the weekend, i will ask him what it was like for you, is there anything in particular you want to know about?

Thats grass track at Dargle, I raced B grade in lites, I wouldn't go calling is a chainsaw because my husky chainsaw is powerful and reliable, that bike was neither if i buy another one it will be red or blue!

Just given up racing bike due to two broken hands and a collarbone, I enjoy playing the guitar and golf. I spend too much of my life at work!

I have never been to one of these but i would like to give it a go. Boat based
