Dangas

Hi Raiders Im looking at purchasing a 4.3 Stacer Nomad and i am undecided on whether to get it painted or unpainted. I will be using the boat at least 1-2 time a fortnight and mostly fishing in and around Botany Bay/Georges River. I am really looking for practicality and ease of maintenance, can someone go through the pros and cons each??

Try Sow and Pigs Reef - GPS: 33 50.320 S 151 16.180 E and anchor upstream on runout tide or downstream on rising tide and float bait back to reef edge. Burley up with chicken pellets and should pick up some trevally and bream. Or try the wedding cake (white tower marker off watsons bay) anchor about 20m off the structure and work 7" jerk shad plastic or live bait for Kingies. Dunno if theyll be around yet this time of year, depends on water temp, you might find the odd one about.

im going through the Bias Boating catalogue and there are quite a few around that price range $349 Lowrance x52 - 188rms - 240x160 resolution - 4" mono screen $289 Lowrance x50ds - 188rms - 240x160 resolution - 4" mono screen $289 Eagle Fishmark 320 - 187rms - 320x320 resolution - 5" mono screen $339 Eagle cuda 350s/map - 100rms - 240x160 resolution - 4" mono screen (GPS combo) $339 Garmin 160c - 150rms - 128x128 resolution - 4.5" Colour Screen $369 Garmin 300c - 150rms - 240x320 resolution - 4.5" Colour Screen $329 Hummingbird Matrix 12x - 250rms - 240x240 resolution - 5" mono screen My pick of the bunch would be either hummingbird matrix 12x or eagle fishmark 320 bcos they have good resolution, rms and large screen ive got a eagle cuda which does the job but i would like a bit more power from the sounder to pick up better detail and larger screen the colour feature from the Garmin sounders are handy but i dont think its really necessary but i would consider them too. They all designed for estuary and bay fishing as they all have 200khz transducer frequency. i hope this helps
