Can anyone tell me if this product is any Good or are there any owners out there SEE BELOW Mate i don't know what more i can tell you, i think it's pretty well explained in the add. We won't nor do i know of anyone that will split a pair of bases for you, i can supply a complete set, & you must be careful trying to match up as the older casting's sometimes will not fit the newer ones, hence people not wanting to split up sets. The riggers retracted are approx 1.7m long very compact! Sorry even though we build for & send Australia wide our displays & dealers are all in Victoria.

Thanks for the support guys, i will definitely take in consideration all the advice from posts when i have a meeting with the committee board members.

And the do gooders want to make the waters off Sydney a marine park I think if we are getting this sort of action less than a K off the coast it shows our system is finaly repairing itself after nearly 200 years of pumping polution (sh*t) on our door step, All we realy need to do is ban the pro's or at least make a no fish Zone for the Pro's to give the fish stock a chance to recover, Look at the harbour it has never fished better since the pro's have been stoped. and that has only taken a few of years. If the do gooders get there way and get a marine park it will be a food fest for the Sharks particually in the summer, You can only guess on how many people are in the water between Cronulla & the central coast every day it will be like ringing the dinner bell. i must admit it is good that we are getting these reports It meens our system is getting healthier 20 years ago you only got a beach polution report which said what beachers were safe to swim at.

Thanks Guys for your help Yes was a 125 ml stick bait with about a 3,0 waited hook SPARKY

Hi Raiders Am new to using softies was on the harbour yesterday Kingies & taylor every where Through some Plastics at them, Continually getting taken but after a short fight I would loos the fish and when I retrieved my line I found that my softie was still intact, This leads me to believe that once the fish has taken the softie I need to strike as I would using Bait, Can someone help me with this SPARKY

Well Russ I noticed there was no thanks for the Hired help !ME! ( Not to mention the design idears other people would have happly paid for) and dont think a coulpe of Beers is full payment. Now all we need to do is learn how to catch bloody fish we dont have to through back LOL SPARKY

i HAVENT FISHED THE LAKE OR SWANSEY FOR ALOT OF YEARS BUT I USE TO FISH THE NORTH SIDE OF THE CHANNEL DOWN PAST THE BOAT RAMP THERE IS A GRANNY POOL IF YOU WALK DOWN THE BREAKWALL (THE BRIDGE SIDE) YOU END UP AT THE OPENING OF THE GRANNY POOL ON THE TURN OF THE HIGH TIDE & AT DUSK THIS WAS A GREAT SPOT TO CATCH LARGE BRIM & SOME NICE SNAPPER TO 2KGS i ALWAYS USED MUTTET GUT & SQUID GOOD LUCK

Nice to see U back Kelvin I always enjoy your reports. How do I get to be your apprentice (and is there a long waiting list)? I have been fishing the harbour for about 8 years now and never even gotten close to your worst catch I would love to go out just once and get some of the fish you manage to catch (EVERY TRIP) Think Im just a bad fisherman (That needs alot of help) Any way well done & some very nice fish as well SPARKY

COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY OF COURSE IS'NT THAT WHAT OWNING A BOAT IS ABOUT

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WITH A SIMILAR SOUNDER THAT CAN GIVE ME SOME TIPS EG: HOW CAN YOU TELL HARD BOTTOM, SOFT REEF, HARD REEF, GRAVEL, SAND, MUD ECT AND HOW TO IDENTIFY WETHER ITS BAIT FISH OR A SINGLE FISH UNDER THE BOAT I HAD THE FISH ALARM ON AND THE FISH SYMBLES TO START JUST TO GET AN IDEA BUT WHAT WAS SHOWING AS LARGER FISH TURNED OUT TO BE 6 INCH CHIPPER TAYLOR. I REALY NEED SOME HELP HERE AND I KNOW THAT IF I USE THE TRIAL AND ERROR THEORY I WILL EVENTUALLY LEARN BUT THIS WILL TAKE VALUABLE FISHING TIME WHICH I DO NOT HAVE MUCH OF IN THE FIRST PLACE. SO I FIGURED THAT THERE MUST BE A FISHRAIDER MEMBER THAT WOULD BE GLAD TO SHARE HIS KNOLEDGE. PLEASE

Cooking Blue Swimmers I have 3 ways of doing this First method Fill a very large saucepan with water ad a teaspoon of salt and bring to the boil After putting your crab’s in the freezer for ½ an hour (this will kill them) Drop into the boiling water and boil for 8 to 10 minutes depending on the size Remove from water and drop into cold water to cool down, (if you don’t do this it will continue to cook in the hot shell) Some people would also add some sugar to the water as well Second method STEAMING In a 12” sauce pan place ¼ cup of water ¼ cup of lemon juice and some Crushed garlic and Chili (or you can use chili powder if you wish) Bring to the boil place crabs in and put the lid in the saucepan and turn the hotplate down, again cook for 8 to 10 minutes, again put in cold water to stop the cooking process Microwave Clean crabs (UN Cooked) and halve In a Microwave dish put ¼ cup of lemon juice and 1/8th cup of water ad 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic, 2 chilies 2 teaspoons of olive oil, salt and some 1 teaspoon of chili powder put crabs halves in and toss in the mixture place lid on dish and cook on high for 3 minutes, again cool immediately (put in freezer for about 10 minutes) Cleaning Turn the crab upside down lift the flap on the underside of the body place your thumb at the rear of the shell and lift (the top of the shell will come off) under running water wash out the guts and remove the gills you should be left with nothing but delicious white meat. (If the flesh is powdery the crab has been overcooked)
