Hi Aaron, Welcome to the most adictive pastime (for me anyway) 1.The most important thing I can advise you on is get friendly with your local tackle store (support them & they will support you). 2.Dont go overboard with your purchases to start with, it will come on its own (trust me when I say this) 3.Target specific species, tick them off your bucket list. Then try & improve overtime. Hope this helps. cheers zed.

mate you make it look so easy, top effort cheers zed

Andrew, that is fantastic footage, your 1st marlin on your own gear, on your own boat & on video What more can you ask for. Looks like you were driving the boat aswell ? Well done mate cheers zed ps. you may struggle on a blue on that gear (just what ive heard)

Nice work, cheers zed

Well done, mate persistance pays off, all the more special on your own gear/boat. cheers zed.

have a look at the Japanese range of 4X4 in diesel. take them for a drive before you decide on any one of them. cheers zed.

Nice King, Looks solid for its size cheers zed

Dont get me wrong I too love a bargin. I also have purchased items from the online stores & have had no issue. (Not just fishing gear) With out going into too much detail. This is not the forum to discuss this but this issue is bigger than you can imagine. The true fact is the retail industry is in trouble & until the government changes the legislation this will not change. Supporting the online industry is only driving another stake into the retail industries coffin. Once you understand how big this issue really is. You may or may not think twice about purchase online or offshore.(That is your choice) I'll leave you with one question. How would you like if someone was to undercut your job @ have the cost ? All I can say is support your local store before it dissapears. cheers Zed.

Hi Fisherman5, This is quite simple, If you change your GPS to this format (eg. AGD66)which is what I think it is. enter the co ordinates Then simply change it back to WGS84 Simple as that. But if you cant change it for what ever reason here they are E33.46.445 S151.25.359 approx 11km East off Dee Why Head Cheers Zed

I had trouble locating 91 without driving around, So I sent an email to the Manufacture for my 2003 YAMAHA. They recommended 95. cheers zed

Just one other thing I find usfull, sound the area you intend to fish during the day. Whether this is the same day or not. This will give you a better understanding of the area. cheers zed

Hi locodave, check this video cheers zed

Well done mate, good to see a plan coming together cheers zed

Nice fish, strike on suface lure's there is nothing like it cheers zed

not good news at all mate, I recently bought a twin power 8000SW, I would imagine a service would be similar. makes you think twice about expensive equipment. I have got to admit thou I do love my shimano gear. i wonder what a similar service would cost for Saltiga cheers zed

Its a definite NO GO ZONE I know of someone who had there gear confiscated quite a few years ago now. Now its a mininum of appear in court + plus cost, loss of gear upto $50K fine. cheers zed.

Nice work everyoe, was there any green eye's amongst them. cheers Zed

Hi Rafinx, Is your ignitions system electronic or points system ? My 1971 20hp had the same problem, Initally from cold would get up & plane then once warm die to an idle. My 20hp is old school my issue was caused by a faulty condensor. Hope this helps. Cheers Zed.

I caught a snapper on a squid jig, what is wrong with these fish ?

I have a shimano Raider barra magnum & curado 200E5 with 30lb braid, caught heaps of barra in NT 2yrs ago.

I agree, a few years back we went out in a 7.5m alloy cat even then she was a bit hairy on the way back. I just saw this, follow this link & have a look at the background of the 1st image & you will understand the type of conditions you can expect http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=56730 cheers zed

i have this video it is awesome, imagine hooked up to a 250kg+ fish for 6hrs & then pulling the hook. Then having another crack for 13hrs on a fish of the same caliber this is simply painful. Matt & his crew have the title for "EXTREME" no doubt. cheers zed.

Hi All, I cant decide on a jigging/live bait reel, just wondering what everyone uses & how it performs. At this stage I don't wont to outlay big dollars probably upto $500, even if I can get a setup for this price would be even better. any help would be appreciated. cheers zed.

Hi Dave, When ever I use any type of lure I use this shogun 40lb clip
