Thanks I was checking out the site & found the forum on lights on the weekend - & have asked them to make sure its high enough & if I am not happy with what they have will take it to your contact in Silverwater & get it raised R

TOO RIGHT we will have lots to brag about ( I hope )

Hi all as a new member to Fishraiders, I thought I would share with you my adventure; I have been looking around for a 2nd hand boat to buy for some weeks & took today off work to go have a serious look - looked at a couple of boats around Syd west & then up to Cowan (I live in west Syd) unfortunately they didn't have anything I could afford but some great deals all the same - then down to Windsor (same story) they suggested I try a shop in Penrith (5 min from home!) & they had the perfect boat - a 14' Stejcraft with a Merc 40hp on a new trailer. They are putting a new Bimini- upholstery- 2 new bucket seats - re doing the lights- new front rails- servicing the motor re wiring the radio & fish finder at a good price So, I am a very happy camper! I will post some photos ASAP with before & after shots if I can & also let you know when I christen it with a fishing trip & hopefully a pic or 2 of what we catch!

sweet catch - hope I can do 1/2 as well R

wow what a night - who could ask for more - great catch relaxing doing what you love & spent the time with your Dad - well done!

interesting stuff as I hope to buy a boat before xmas. pm me with any info you get I am keen to learn of any pitfalls

I'm at it again - asking questions "fishing for information"! what is a zx30? if it is a rod what sort as I would like to try lure fishing & try my luck.

WOW I'm impressed great job - make sure you let me know if you need a deck hand so I can get in on the action

Man I wanna go fishin with you!

Great job guys & a good story teller as well - I loved it - please let me know where on the Parra river you hooked this catch

OMG what else can you say - but shit happens I wouldn't want to be him when he fronts the ball & chain!

gotta try that area myself looks like great fun hopefully in the new year!

WOW what a catch - that's a pic on the office wall job!

Wow - 21! have BIG one tonight!

Hi All I am going up to Huett Marine on Monday to have a look & see what deal we can do - hope to see you on the water & bragging about my new boat & all the fish in my bag! Rex

I am such a novice - yakkas? what are they - like yabbies or .... PM me please so I dont continue being this simple Rex

you gotta share the how & when cause I want to be showing off my 1st jewie too well done mate

Sounds like you all had a great day out on the water. Keep up the stories & good pics - well done Rex

you all make me jealous - I am looking forward to getting out there & becoming addicted as well

Thank you all! I think I will have to take a Monday off & head up to Cowan to have a look at what they can do for me at Huett Marine I had a runabout a few years back & spent almost 2 weeks rebuilding the trailer (&that was before we could get it into the water!) So I like the idea of a new boat. Rex

that sounds like a great weekend for you & your son - well done Rex

This sort of info is why I joined Fishraiders! keep up the great info & feed back guys Rex (Dusky)

Thanks for the heads up! I will keep this in mind & certainly follow up with professional advice prior to commiting my money Rex All ggod advice - thankyou! I have had a look at Huetts web site & want to go up to have a look & meet him in person. But I can usually only get up that way on Sundays & they only open Monday to Saturday. Rex

lucky you! & congratulations I have just started to buy new rods & reels as well as tackle & hoping to get a 1/2 cab soon. Let me know if you find some good spots to drift for flatties! Rex (Dusky)

OMG this looks & sounds GREAT! Rex (Dusky)
