Sooo funny - I just checked out my profile & I have 2!!! lucky me.

Great report, great pics - thanks for sharing

what a great site - JOB WELL DONE!

well after all it is the season to be jolly! so everyone should be overjoyed at the prospect - Yeah team!!!

call one of our site sponsors - Go-Fish. I bought a pair of "Ugly Fish" which are bi-focal for us "old men" they are polarized & with the bi focal bit I can tie hooks as well - very happy with them at under $200

My broth in law & I had a sparky issues last month & we ended up doing Google a search & came up with a few or just call Huett Marine They are good for advice or the fix

Good job - I will be looking for your post WITH pics I hope

Mines a 75 (or close) Stejcraft 4.9mtr 1/2 cab towed behind an Audi A4TQuatro 2000 BTW its interesting to see what a variety of boats are out there - one for every pocket.

sounds like it would be perfect to make into a bass or trout boat to me

works for me mate - lucky

Hi Cameldownunder! Yes you do need to have extinguishes checked every 12mths - I had workshops & we had an inspector come round to check the inspection tags (council or workcover??). Yes it would be cheaper for many boaties to buy a new one depending on the size of the extinguisher - if you have a little 1-2kg just fork the $20-$30 to keep yourself out of hotwater & who wants to have a fire onboard & an FX that does nothing! R

Stewy - you kill me! on a serious note it depends on how old your gear is - I have an old (& I mean old) Diawa reel & it clicks on retrieve. could be a part of the way it was designed originally - I can stop it but I cant remember how - I am older that the reel guess that explains it

that just sux - I feel for him

yes but its gives them an excuse to get back out & perhaps do a little more fishing (especially while they wait for the tide to turn)

great job & don't you look pleased

did better than me mate - well done

Yep always best to disconnect battery from system as mentioned above, you risk frying your electrics in either motor or console. Also consider; if your battery is deep cycle or not as I think you may need a voltage sensing charger to cut of charge when battery full or risk overcharging (boiling the acid) & shortening the life of your battery R

Hi all went up to Taree to pick up my daughter & she asked me to take her for a quick fish. So my niece & her hubby put together some gear & we headed off for an hour of fishing on Saturday afternoon. As we were not really planning to do any serious fishing (my 1st mistake) we took frozen prawns (2nd mistake) & headed off into the sunset to wet a line. Bec took me to her favorite spot & we rigger & baited up for a spot of Brim fishing. (my 3rd mistake) Well, all 3 hooked up a baby brim each & I hooked a 30cm flattie - but as I had on a small hook lost it as I was bringing him in! But all in all we had a very relaxing & enjoyable afternoon together. one of the baby throw backs featuring my daughter Elizabeth - another convert?

I dunno - he didn't mention the one that got away!

sweet! thanks - planning to take my boat out with a couple of other raiders in the next 3 weeks

Nice flattie - shame about the jewie where about on the Hawksbury were you? if you dint mind sharing R

fantastic job - can I bring mine around to get it spiffed up a little

OMG - wot..... I'm glad I don't have to teach that!

good looking crock

Damm had planned to go out there today in my brothers boat - but it broke down & we spent the day fixing it - I spose I will have to take him in my boat next time
